Меденки-сърца

 

А това са моите позакъсняли меденки-сърчица за Св. Валентин. Защо "позакъсняли", може би се питате. Не че съм ги направила 2 седмици след празника. Те отдавна са "ометени", но не ми стигна време да ги публикувам в блога си преди празника.

Бисквитките са неустоими на вкус. Всеки любител на меденките знае това. Кремът е от бита сметана с пудра захар и декорацията е по ваше желание. Може да бъде предимно от плодове. Ягоди, малини, боровинки са най-подходящите според мен.

Разбира се, меденки може да си направите с повод и без повод - не е необходимо да чакате следващия Св. Валентин.

St.Valentine's cake 2020

That's my cake for St. Valentine this year. First, I haven't any idea what to make this year. Being honest with you, I was thinking to skip this Valentine's sweet tradition.

All of a sudden, the idea came into my mind!!!

I decided to make an experiment with a new for me butter cream recipe. This is the pink cream that you see around the cake. It can be used for inside (filling) cream as well as for outside. The interesting part is that the recipe is without any eggs!!!

Recipe for butter cream:

• 1/4 cup flour
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup milk
• 250 gr. butter
• 1 tea spoon vanilla

Preparation:

Mix the following ingredients together in a bowl (flour, sugar, milk, vanilla) and bring to boil. Whisk constantly for 6-7 min.  Here I added my color. Then pour the mixture into another bowl and cover with plastic wrap just to prevent forming a hard crust. Wait 1 hour to cool down. 

During that waiting time you can beat the butter approximately  5 min. When the milk mix is cooled you can start slowly adding it to the butter.

My cake is made out of strawberry layers. I used for filling the butter cream that I gave you the recipe and chocolate ganache.

Enjoy your St. Valentine!

St.Valentine's Pavlova

Happy St.Valentine to everyone!!!! Love and be loved!!!

That's my cake made with a lot of love for my husband and my kids. I colored the meringue layers in pink. I just needed the contrast with the whipping cream. My family adores this mouth-watering dessert. That's why I decided to surprise them with this sweet treat.

St.Valentine's honey cookies

These are my St Valentine's cookies. I baked them mainly for my kids. I prepared them for February 10th - the orthodox St. Valentine. I wanted to keep them as simple as possible, no fondant, no fancy decorations, something simple and tasty, something for the morning, something for the afternoon coffee, something sweet that can bring smile...

 

My cookies are delicious. Every single bite is melting in the mouth. They are made with honey and cocoa, with chocolate ganache and...and a lot of love!

St. Valentine's cookie treats

Let's start with this year's St. Valentine's treats :)

These mini cookie cakes I baked yesterday very spontaneously. Being honest with you, I planned to bake only regular honey cookies. I didn't plan any fancy decorations. Even I can't remember how I grabbed the flour, the sugar, eggs, butter and turned on the mixer....

The cream that I made was with cream cheese, sugar and heavy cream. It was delicious!!!!

I can give you the recipe:

• 250gr. cream cheese
• 1/2 cup sugar
• vanilla extract
• 2 cups heavy cream

I used fresh strawberries, blueberries and blackberries, chocolate chips, candies in the shape of a heart, macaroons, meringues, red hearts made out of Candy Melts.

All these sweet treats are part of my sweet gift to my loved ones, to my family.

There is a cookie heart to everyone of my kids and for me and my husband was the tallest, the 3 layered cookie cake :)

 Happy St Valentine!!!
