Angry Birds party

Dude #2 turned 9 and he loves the angry birds game so that was the theme for this birthday party.

Besides a birthday cake, pig cakepops, licourice and matching M&M's we served savoury foods as he loves tomatoes, mini salami's and cucumber.

Push Pops

Push Pops have to be the easiest treats for kids to share in school ever ! You can choose to make the cake & frosting yourself or be really lazy (read racing against time like any working mom).
Then just cut the cake, add frosting and sprinkles, fill the pushpop and repeat till you're done.

Dude #2 changed schools for the last 2 years so this was his goodbye treat for his classmates.

My all time favourite brownies

My all time favorite brownies (so far) come from the Hummingbird bakery book,

I'm not into chewy brownies but more the cakelike version and these fit the bill and are even better the day after ...

They also have a chocolate glaze recipy that i put extra mascarpone into and always double because it freezes and thaws like a dream (ready to serve from the ziploc) !

It's served up next to my dear friends green tea cupcakes (from the same book) that were also delicious, cupcakes and brownies make every creative get together more fun !

My mom's High Tea Party

My mother liked my birthday high tea so much she wanted one too on her birthday. She made did all the shopping and made all the savoury food,  I concentrated on the sweet things & decorating. Some of  my favorite things to do ....

Movie Party

Dude #1 turned 11 and celebrated this with a true hollywood movie party.
I loved this theme and it shows in the decorations, some theme's are so easy to pull off !

X-mas cakepops

I've made several kinds of cakepops for christmas this year, the boys wanted to take some to the school christmas dinner and we had some on christmas day. The cupcake pops were my first attempt ever and can you believe they were harder to make than the trees and the reindeers ?

 

Klaasbrokken

We make this recipe every year around Sinterklaas it's a big hit with big and small every since I first made it, loads of calories but so worth it.



The recipe is not mine but I will share my fave blog with you that has a recipe and lot's of great pics for the how to.
