I've ordered some bakingstuff and got a cakemix with almond taste for free. It has been a long time ago since I've made cupcakes, so I decided to make cupcakes from this cakemix. I've only used the half of the mix and got 11 cupcakes.
I still had some buttercream left, so I've tried to fill and decorate the cupcakes with it. When it was finished, my lovely and always spontaneous daughter was glad to find so many "Icy-s, Hurray!!!" on the kitchen table.

Cheesecake with figs
Mom went to the store and came back with a large tray of fresh figs. The figs were nice soft and sweet, but the tray was to large for normal consumption since only my dad and I like to have the figs as fruits. So it seems nice to use the figs and make dad a cheesecake.
I like to make cheesecake, it's a quite easy cake to make and easy to vary the topping. Usually I use blueberries, but this time, I've used 5 large figs and made this flower out of the slices.
I was amused to see that everyone, who claims he or she doesn't like figs, was enjoying my cheesecake with figs.

Recipe for After eight cream.
This cream is for filling the cake and is more then enough to cover a 25 cm, 2 layer cake.
On the internet there are a lot of other recipes, but I've just gave it my own twist to it.
Ingredients:
- 2 box After Eight chocolate (about 200 gr)
- 1 satchel vanilla sugar
- 400 gr cream
- 1 satchel cream fixer
Preparation:
- Melt the After eight in a pan. (you can leave some tablets After eight behind for decoration.
- Add the cream to the melted chocolate and let it boil briefly.
- Put the chocolate-mint cream in a bowl and let cool well, evt. put a lid on the dish and put it in the refrigerator for the night
- Beat the chocolate-mint cream lightly with a mixer and add the vanilla sugar and cream fixer while beating.
Now your After eight cream is ready for use.

Happy 30th birthday
My husband had his 30th birthday this year. Since he doesn't like ordinary cream pie, I thought it would be nice to make him a cake filled with After eight cream.
I've found some recipes for the after eight cream on the internet and it was really very nice. It's the first time I've decorated a whole cake with marzipan. Unfortunately for me, the marzipan got torn at the sides. So I had to improvise a little. (and of course the people we've invited for the party were already arriving)
I think the result was quite good (for the first time)

Forestfruit cheesecake
For my mother's and my husband's birthday we went out for lunch with my family. Of course I couldn't resist making them a delicious cake. So I've made this forestfruit cheesecake with berries.
Actually, this cheesecake is very easy to make. Next time I intend to make a nice pattern out of the berries, this looks a bit messy to me.

Flowers for mom's birthday
Recently I've found my friend making nice things of marzepin and sugarpaste. So I went on the internet and discovered this nice new hobby.
Just the day before my mother's birthday I've received the starters package for cake baking and cake decoration with marzepin. We've already ordered a cake for my mother's birthday, so I was statisfied with just making her some lovely roses out of marzepin.
This is the result of the first time I've ever made something out of marzepin.
