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.

Magician's Hat Birthday Cake with a Suprise!

This was Nicholas birthday Cake which was actually made in 3 steps. 
 
In a previous post I showed to you how I made the Edible Magician's Playing Cards, then I made the Magician's Hat and the cake.  Actually the cake was prepared by somebody else, but I have to admit it was very tasty!
Nicholas was very pleased with the result and I was excited to see him enjoying his birthday cake. 
Now I am curious to see what he is going to choose for next year :-) ...
---------------------------------------------------------------
How to make Edible Magician's Playing Cards



The hat was made almost a month before the birthday party, because I wanted to be sure that I would have enough time to fix any possible mistakes or unexpected "accidents".
 
 I used fondant with Tylos Powder for all the hat decoration. It worked out pretty well!



When all the pieces were put together, I brushed the whole hat with vodka, so there were no excess powder sugar left.




I wish Nicholas a Happy Life and I hope that the next year's challenge will be fantastic as this one!!!
