Taramosalata (Fish roe salad - meze)

Beautiful! I especially love how you placed it on a round cake. Adds depth and more servings too!!

My mom made on of these for me when I was a little girl! Great job! Wish I had a little girl to make stuff like this for - boys just don't like the same stuff!
ReplyDeleteThese cakes were really popular in Australia when I was growing up (not that I ever got one...hmmmm, maybe I'll make one for my 40th next year.) We use a Dolly Varden tin to create the domed cake for the skirt. It's also perfect for beehive cakes. Thanks for the trip down memomy lane.
