Let's taste it!

Getting ready to celebrate a little lady's 10th birthday!
She loves maltesers and unicorns and asked for a three layers cake, with one layer completely dairy free to make happy her little sister.
Here we are with a chocolate maltesers cake with three different fillings: cream pat and homemade marmalade, chocolate and almonds and dairy free whipped cream.
Happy birthday my beloved Elsie!

It's time to go to bed with my favourite fairytale about cakes and sweets....

«They followed it and came to a little house, on the roof of which it perched; and when they came quite near they saw that the cottage was made of bread and roofed with cakes, while the window was made of transparent sugar. “Now we’ll set to,” said Hansel, “and have a regular blow-out.I’ll eat a bit of the roof, and you, Gretel, can eat some of the window, which you’ll find a sweet morsel.”»

I found this lovely website with and audio version too.

Good night!

A scary story that plays on a child's fear of being abandoned by parents, and getting lost in the woods. But children love the way that the young heroes outwit the wicked witch and triumph over evil.

And if you want to go dairy free, chose the Elmlea vegetable double cream: it's delicious!
