Taramosalata (Fish roe salad - meze)

  Photo taken from Athinorama Umami Taramosalata There are also the Greek classics, think something like a dip but instead of using nachos or vegetables to eat them we use bread. Taramosalata is one of those dishes.   It is roe fish blended into a creamy pink dip of pureed potatoes with parsley, lemon juice, and finely chopped onion (optional).   In meze, this is one of the first dishes that it is served.   In taverns, they always bring it along with salad, tzatziki, and tahini.   We will talk about the last two later.   Well, let’s see our recipe…   Ingredients 2 kg tarama (fish roe). 1 large potato or two small ones 450gr of Greek bread 1 tsp of shredded and dried onion 1 cup olive oil The juice of one lemon (medium size) Tarama is the hardest ingredient to find, so it is a good idea to look at groceries that import Mediterranean food.

Doll Birthday Cake in Purple and Pink

This doll cake was made for a little girl called Chryso.

Her mother told me that she wanted the doll to be dressed into light purple and pink colors.

I tried to create purple by combining red and bleu colors, but somehow that did not ended the way I wanted so I ran into the store and I bought a ready made Wilton color.
My first thought was to make the dress purple and use pink only for the upper part of the dress, but then I thought that the doll would look a bit dull and I decided to use more pink than purple.
The next time I make a doll cake I think I will try to use fondant icing. I am not sure whether this will be easier or not, but I truly believe I should give it a try too!!

    I have seen these cakes before but never with the swirl texture that you have done with the pink frosting. That is a neat idea for the texture of the bottom part of the dress. Very lovely.

    I love this cake. My sweet girl would love that for a birthday cake in a year or two, when she is old enough to get the gist of a pretty cake.

    Little girls love these cakes. Purple can be tricky sometimes I mix pink and blue instead. Love the buttercream swirls too.
