Baking a Painting

Hello!

This is a nostalgic post from me, as I did this project years ago... But I think it is still one of my greatest creations of all, so I brought it to You.

One of my favorite painter was Pál Szinyei Merse, who lived in the XIX. century to the early XXth. 

I wanted to make a cake replica of his "Majális" painting. I used colored white chocolate for the background, and marzipan for the figures.

How to make a Cat Cake

Hi Dears,

Today I brought You an easy technique for making a cat shaped cake. :)

Little pies

Hi Dears,

I brought a new recipe for pies, and great personal news!

 I am the chosen cook of the week on the biggest Hungarian recipe sharing site - at Nosalty.hu! Yay! A whole article is about me, with my cakes... http://www.nosalty.hu/ajanlo/het-szakacsa-habcsok-mezi

But this recipe of the pies is only Yours, it's not on that site, yet. :D 

I baked them in muffin trays, but You can bake it in one big tart form, if you prefer those. I used fresh fruits for the filling, and the result was really tasty.

My pastry exam

Hi Dears,

It's only a small post about my baking exam I had this week.

Visiting the SÜTI. Home-made-style cakes, shop & manufactury

Hi Dears, 

It's time to introduce a really nice little Cake Shop & manufacture the SÜTI.  

I have visited it yesterday, and tried one of it's cakes...

Practising for the Baking exam & Mother's Day

Hello Dears,

I hope You all right, and didn't get any flu like me during these extremely hot days. I can only wonder how I managed to get this, when every other normal people enjoyed the sun, and they got tanned and I got a cold instead... :( 

Anyway I am recovering, I have some days off from my trainee program, so I am at home, reading books, and when I feel a little bit better I am baking of course. I have my first baking exam next week, with 5 types of pastries. 

Wedding Cupcakes with decorated cookies

Hello Dears, 

Last weekend, we were at a beautiful wedding ceremony, and party! 

(It was my second time to attend to one, and this time I was one of the bridesmaids, too! :) ) 

So as I am a pastry cook to be, what else could have been my gift, than some kind of desserts? 

The main color theme of the wedding was green with orange, that's why I've chosen the green cupcake liners, and even the cupcakes top were covered with green frosting.

Isler Cake

Hi Dears!

It's the end of March already? 

So much had happened since I last wrote here...

For example we had 3 birthday and 4 namedays to celebrate, for which I had to bake of course... :D 

I have 8-10, I don't really know for sure, how much, but I have a lot recipes to share with You! :) 

Another big happening in my life was to finish my internship in the Caffé I was trained for 5 months. Normally people would have a small break now, but me? Why would I? I'm starting tomorrow my extra internship in the hotel I was working before, as a receptionist, only now I will be confectioner trainee. :) 

But let's get back to this cake. This is my own idea, a revolutionary, to use the Isler pastry to make a cake.

The original recipe is here, for the little isler biscuits.

Visiting the Ice cream Exhibition

Hello! 

Spring is finally here, that means ice cream season starts as well. :) 

And to start it in a glamorous way the biggest ice cream exhibition was held for 3 days in Budapest. 

As a confectioner trainee I felt it's my duty to be there.

(And let's face it who wouldn't have gone to taste the new ice cream creations of the year? :D )  So I visited it with my fiancé. 

I brought You my little review of the event and more than 30 tasteful pictures of it! 

Pathés

Hi Dears, 

Do You know what's your nightmare cookie?

The pathé... It's so delicious, and moist, and it's only one bite right? You always want another one... So bye bye diet, it will kill that all...

But it worth it, I promise.

The best about them is the technique, as we can create dozens of different styles and forms, I studied this at school, so the recipe is their invention. :)

Let's see how to bake them...
