I am back again

Here is a small post after a long brake.  It has been a very busy autumn and winter where it has happened more then I really wanted.  My dear dad past away in the beginning of November and  after his death it has been a lot to do, both emotionally and  of practical sort. But anyway I feel my strength is coming back and I am ready to bake again. Here is a few cakes I didn't have time to post before.

 Also a birthday cake for a orphanage here in Moscow. Also a red velvet cake filled with orange and white chocolate cream.

 A princess cake for a small girls birthday party . It is a pink vanilla cake filled with strawberry-white chocolate cream.

Mini wedding cake

This is a small wedding cake for around 10 people. It is always  joyous  to make weeding cakes, it is so nice to know you will take a small part in someone's big day only if it is just with a cake :) So this  is a Vanilla cake filled with cappuccino mousse and white chocolate/vanilla mousse.

Summer cake

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.

Luntik

This cake i made for a sweet girl who became 3 years. Her favorite cartoon is  called Luntik. I have no idea if Luntik is a male or female but here he/she is with friends:) The girl became very happy to see the cake and ate two of Luntiks four ears and one of his legs, and i am really not sure she ate any cake..... The challenge with this cake was not to make it, it was the two hours i had to have it on my lap in the backseat of a car on a bumpy Russian village road. Not recommended. But the cake made it and everyone (except the birthday girl) ate Vanilla cake filled with marinade cherries and cherry/orange mousse with pleasure.  

This is a cake i made for a cake competition where the topic was ocean, this is what i came up with. It was really fun to make all the small details for it. And even though it was like 30-34  degrees in my kitchen i somehow manage. I guess i was dreaming of some cold ocean water somewhere . The cake itself is made of Vanilla cake filled with white chocolate mousse and vanilla marinaded apricots , it tasted  really delicious.

Norway's national day is a very special day for all Norwegian. The celebration is very different from other countries national day. Even thou the national day is a celebration of a very big and serious day it is made into a celebration for children.

Elephants

This I made for a very sweet lady, she became so upset that i where going to Norway when she where going to celebrate her birthday so she wanted to change the date of the party so i could come with a cake.  We came to an agreement that i should make a cake for her and freeze it down. So this is her birthday cake a vanilla cake with mocca and orange cream filling.   

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.
