Niki`s Blue Birthday Parties

We had Niki`s 1 year old birthday parties at saturday. Niki turn 1 at april, but we celebrated them now because of strange spring. Parties theme was blue.

Before parties we crafted invitations with Kasmir at the blue cardboard. I thought it would be nice to made every year something with him at little brothers parties. First invitations we made together last may when Niki had his christenings. the weather was so lovely, so we craft outside at our terrace.

The weather was nice. About 18 degrees. We had parties at our backyard. Everything was blue, decorations and settings. Aunts electric blue hair was beautiful and fits well in our theme!

I decorated trees with silver paper streamers and blue decorations. There were also "Happy Birthday"pennant made of blue letters.

Paper streamers did not stayed on their places  into trees very long. But every decorations stayed there where i put them.

First my decorations looked like badly opened napkins. But last of them looked liked flowers.

Cakes and other food was also all blue. The blueberry pie, blue cake, and  blue bebe- pastries. Salmon sandwich cake were not blue of course. Blue cake was filled with whipped cream, bananas and jam. Almost everything eaten right away. There were also blue candies. 

I had never gotten on sugar mass so good like now. Even when i moved it, it wont get broken. But when i went to get decorations on the cake, and came back to the other room, Niki had pull of the sugar mass little from the cake. It really annoyed me , but then i thought that the birthday hero should be also decorated his own cake. I fixed the cake with car-shaped decorations. 

We all wear blue clothes. Boys had new blue shirts. 

Parties were wonderful, and its totally okey that we had to shift parties couple of monts forward at april. Back then i already thougt that it would be lovely to have parties at june when its warm and we could be outside. Luckily, there was warm weather but not too hot. Cakes and people would have melted while drinking coffee if it had been too warm.

My Birhtday and ChocolateLiquorice Cake

Sunday i celebrated my birthdays.  I made  a liquorice chocolate cake for my birthday cake, which I planned with myself. I love both flavors, so that’s why I made this flavor duo  this year. I decorated the cake with blackberries and yellow violets, as well as a little Baileys bottle. For the evening, I made chicken pie and soy pie, which also only came quickly from my own head. The pie was strangely watery when it left the oven, but eventually become steady when it had cooled.

Chicken taco Pie is spicy and some fresh salad would be good with that. Feta salad for example. I also made the Green apple - punch.

Ingredients:

 Apple juice 

Lime flavour lemonade

Sour apple -liqueur

booze

apple and lime slices

Vegan soy pie

Ingredients:

Bottom

rye - oat 

Filling

Planti! Onion oat food cream

Paprika-Chili Oatly! vegan smetana

soy protein granules

vegetable bouillon cube

tomatoes

paprika

onion 

(vegan grated cheese)

Melt the vegetable cube in boiling water, pour soy protein granules into the water. Press the oat base into the bottom of the pie pan and bake at 225 degrees for about 7 minutes. Chop all the onions and peppers. Make tomato slices. In another bowl, mix the chili vegesmetana with the soy granules and the chopped vegetables. Place the mixture on top of the pie base, add tomato slices, and pour the food cream and grated cheese. This version itself did not have grated cheese now Bake pie 45min at 225 degrees. 

I think cream cakes are really beautiful. Any kind of baking is a beautiful thing. Especially those Mother’s Day / Father’s Day cakes with quince or manary mica centers and lovely extrusions. Skillful cakes that are almost perfectly made, almost like those made in the factory, but also those that are actually made in the factory. Also, such home baker-looking cream cakes are sweet, absolutely wonderful. Showing a personal handprint made at home. It’s an eye-catching sight when there’s a Cake waiting for the first piece to be cut from it. Anyway, pastries are one of the most beautiful things in the world. Especially when there are a lot of baked things on the same table, or even a pastry plate rolling next to similar pieces

. But even though I think cream cakes are the beauties of the food world, I still don’t like to eat them at all. : D I didn't like it as a child, and I don't like it now. I can take a piece at a party, of course, it’s not the worst thing I know right now, but simply whipped cream is just something I don’t like. And by the way, so doesn't like my firstborn son, so he seems to have inherited it. : D And even though this filling was mixed with cream, it still goes, but pure whipped cream, , it's just not to my favourite! liquorice and chocolate instead are!

For my birthday i made this cake. Everything what is my favourites. I planned cake to myself, and decorated everythinkg taht looked my favourites. Flowers is my second love.

Chocolate Liquorice Cake

Bottom:

7 eggs

3 dl white sugar 

1 dl dark cocoa flour

1 dl liquorice flour

1 dl wheat flour 

Filling:

5 dl whipped cream 

1dl chocolate cream 

1dl liquorice flour 

200g liquorice chocolate 

200g cream cheese (chocolate)

3 tea spoon white sugar

Frosting:

2 decilitre chocolate cream 

liquorice chocolate bar

liquorice flour 

Heat the oven to 175 degrees. In a second bowl, mix the dry ingredients together. Beat the eggs and sugar into a foam, such a hard foam that you manage to write your initials on it. Add carefully the flour into the egg-sugar mousse, and pour into the bottom of a greased cake tin. Bake the cake for 45min at the bottom of the oven. Check cake all the time and  change the cooking time as needed.

Cool the cake well and cut into three parts. Prepare the filling. Place the first layer of cake on a serving dish and moisten with oat milk. Add the filling and place the next cake base on top of the filling. Moisten, add the filling and then another cover for the cake from the last piece. Put cake at refrigerator overnight if possible and then make the frosting next day. 

Make the frosting. Put chocolate cream in a saucepan low heat and chop a plate of licorice chocolate into it one piece at a time. Stir until the chocolate has melted and the mixture has thickened. Pour over the cake when its cooled a little. Frosting is not meant to stay on. Decorate with yellow flowers and blackberries.

I add some pictures from my guests at last sunday. :) Picture from below at my boys Kasmir and Nikiour parents dog Tessu and my good friends little boy Matia riding Nikis police moped.

*****

We had other small celebrations during last weekend, when Kasmir got a certificate and a rose when he started at the nursery school next autumn. After the fridays kindergarten day they we went to the store to pick up the cakes and candies that Kasmir want to buy. 

The "graduating rose" was really important to Kasmir. He hurried to get home to get it in the vase as fast as possible so the rose just didn't die. We had two cats so Kasmir did not deare to leave the rose in the kitchen were the cats walk. so he build staging so the rose could be safe in his room. He remembered to make sure that rose gets enough light. 

.
I also got flowers from friends at my birthday. roses and bouquet of flowers. The flowers are one of the most beautiful things in the world. Winter time was especially heavy this year. Continuous gray and dark, began in November that never ended. Autumn is still my favorite season. But the early fall, and the ever-ending endlessdarkness of November, will not save even scented candles. (Which are also one of my great love.: D) But now there is light and warmth and hopefully it would last until October, like year 2018.
