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.

Mickey Mouse Cupcakes

Well, I have to be honest...  This idea was not mine.  I saw a similar  photo in the internet, and I found this cupcake so cute!!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Banana Cupcakes with vanilla frosting, just before covered with
chocolate fondant.

 With the use of a cookie cutter and wilton rolling pin I place the chocolate fondant onto the cupcakes.

 These little Michey Mouse ears were made with chocolate fondant, mixed with Tylos powder. I prepared them a few days before the final decoration and I allow them to dry. 

 First, I covered all the cupcakes with fondant and finally, with the use of a regular knife, I created two small cracks.  In those cracks I placed the ears.


 I used a bit of wilton's black decorating icing to make sure that the ears would stay in place :-)...

 It was a real pleasure for me making these cupcakes, and I was very glad to hear that their taste was equally good.  Thank you!!!

    These are the cutest cupcakes! You do such great cake work! Just realized I completely forgot to answer your question! Half & half has a higher fat percentage than whole milk and a lower fat percentage than light cream. People use it a lot in coffee. I like using it in ice cream rather than milk because it gives a creamier texture since it is higher in fat.
