This is really a fast and great way of serving something nice to your guests if you don't have time to make a cake. You can just make a Shortcrust pastry dough when you have time and make small shortcrust pastry "cups". The great part with these cups is that you can fill them what ever you have and like. This ones I filled with some orange fillets ,chopped roasted hazelnuts, some strawberries and topped them with an orange cream,strawberries and chocolate . They where very tasty and very easy to make as well .
Now that the strawberry season has started i thought it was time for a strawberry cake. I grew up in a village that had a few fields with strawberries, so when the summer vacation had started and the village was filled with the sweet smell of strawberries my friends and i couldn't manage to keep away from the sweet berries. But the thing was that in the daytime the fields was filled up with eager strawberry pickers. So we waited until the sun barley had gone under the horizon and run as fast as we could to the fields. Then we sat down in the middle of the field and enjoyed the sweet and juicy berries, and nobody could tell us that stolen berries dint tasted good. I have a lot of good memories about strawberries so it was not difficult to find inspiration to this cake. The cake is a Vanilla cake filled with New York Cheesecake and fresh strawberries.
Profiteroles is a mouthful of deliciousness! And the best part is that is so easy to make. I know people might have a few problems when they bake them, but as long as you don't open the oven door before they are ready they turn out nice and fluffy. These ones i filled with a caramel cream, but you can make any cream you like. I recently made some that i filled with blueberry cream and some filled with apricots cream.
In Norway we have a cake called The worlds best, and it is really one of the best cakes you can get. Originally it is made a thin layer of vanilla cake topped with meringue and chopped almonds filled with thick vanilla cream. But i decided i wanted to make something else with this wonderful cake. So i made it like the original one with vanilla cake an meringue but i had a thin layer of caramel mixed with salted peanuts and a thick layer caramel cream. It was very delicious . Salted peanuts and caramel definitely belongs together.
Sorry for the poor picture quality, i guess i should stick to making cakes and make someone else take the pictures ;)
When i was a small girl i used to play with a Japanese fan that my father had brought home from Japan when he was a sailor. I used to love this fan and treasured it like it was made with diamonds. I still have it and still love it. So this cake is copy of my dearest things i have from my childhood. The cake is a Orange-cofe cake filled with dark-bitter chocolate cream and white chocolate cream.
When i looked out the window yesterday it looked so gray,wet and cold. But after a big cup of cofee it looked so much brighter. So i decided to make a cake as a tribute to two of my favorite things that life has presented me with. Cofee and cake. This delicious cofee and cake is made of Vanilla-orange cake with strawberries and vanilla cream.
Last night i had a dream that i where running trough a field filled with cherry trees in full blossom. When i woke up i could still feel the soft smell of cherry flowers. So i decided to make a cake that will remind me of this beautiful dream. This sweet dream is made of a Swiss-roll filled with honey cream, served with cherry sauce.
