How to make delicious Orange Rolls for fall….

10/04/2016 Keine Kommentare

Hi guys

there are several recipes which are created for different seasons. Here is one I want you to introduce today because I think it is perfect for fall and winter season.

Orange Rolls

They are pretty simple to make. A yeast dough with a filling made from butter and orange with a simple cream cheese frosting.

Everyone is gonna love this. (My honey really does :))

So here we go:

Start with the dough

Put 2 teasponns of yeast in a bowl with 2 cups of warm water and 1 teaspoon of sugar

Stir until the yeast is liquid. Let is set a few minutes.

Take a 1/2 cup of melted butter, six cups of flour, 1/3 cup of sugar, 2 teaspoons of salt, 2/3 cup of warm milk, 1 egg

Mix all together and cover it up with a hot towel or put it in the oven with low heat.

The dough has to be double the size to move on.

Divide the dough into two pieces.

Roll out the the dough and brush the orange-butter paste on.

For the paste:

Rib off the orangepeel of three oranges and stir it into 1 cup of melted butter

Put it on the dough before rolling and then cut it into little pieces. (It works pretty well with a thread) Take a cupcake form for baking.

Leave it in the oven for about 15 to 20 minutes by 180 degrees.

For the frosting:

Mix the cream cheese. some sugar and some orange schalen.

Top it with some sprinkles for adding some color.

Let me know what you think about it !

An Italian evening…..

09/11/2016 Keine Kommentare

Hi guys

since we are back from our Italy vacation we are still in the italian mood which means pasta and wine all the time 😉

So we decided to invite over our neighbours and friends for some of the specialtys we ate down there. I decided to go with an Italian table decoration theme in the typical colors red, green and white.

Table Decoration:

So we had filled olives and mushrooms and stuffed wineleaves and Ciabatta with brushetta as a starter. I also made and Aperol Spritz as Aperitif.

For the main course we had noodles with a tomato sauce, artichokes and shrimps. And of course lots of parmesan cheese on top.

The desert had been an Italian panna cotta with a raspberry sauce, fresh raspberries and mint leaves.

The guests really liked the food and the combination of it so the evening was a total hit. The weather also was great. I first thought about serving the food inside because the nights were pretty chilly the last couple days but ít was a really hot day so eating outside was the better option.

I always liked and still do to host theme dinner parties or events like that at all. It is always nice to sit together with the people you like a lot and chit chat and have lots of great food and drinks.

Wishing everybody a great Sunday.

Take care. See you. Love K.

A sweet treat………..

Hi guys

there isn´t barely anyone out there who doesn´t like cakes or cookies or all this yummy kind of stuff.

Since I ate my first cupcake (that had been at The Pier in St. Petersburg, Florida – it was a vanilla one with pink frosting and a sugar Hello Kitty on top – will never forget that) I am totally addicted to those little sugar bombs. Throughout the years I tried a lot of different recipes for the cake and the frosting and lately I am very happy with those:

Chocolate Cream Cheese Cupcakes

For the dough:

250 gramms of butter
150 gramms of sugar
4 eggs
250 gramms of flour
2 tablespoons of baking powder
4 tablespoons of baking powder

Mix everything together and put it in the oven for about 20 minutes by 160 degrees.

For the frosting:

I take Nutella for the chocolate cream because of the strong consistency

Cream Cheese

That´s it for the frosting

Mix it together and put it in an injection bag for getting a nice shape of frosting on top ot the cupcakes.

Wishing everybody a great sunday.

Take care. See you. Love K.

Coffee Table Decoration Ideas…..

07/18/2016 Keine Kommentare

Hi guys

I always loved – and still do love hosting all kinds of events like a brunch, a dinner or just an afternoon coffee meeting. Last thing we had yesterday. I had my whole family over for coffee and of course for some delicious cake to show them the new house we are living now ( – for gods sake it is already done). I had been thinking a lot upfront about the table decoration and I decided to go with an outisde theme as we were sitting on the patio. As I had this nice coffee table cup and plate set I decided to got with the colors green and purple – an awesome combination I did never recognice -but these colors rock toghether.

So here we go – this is everything I used ( got the flowers and the lavender from the fields behind the house and our garden)

So first of all for the drinks – besides the regular coffee I had some refreshing sparkling water with slices of lemon for this little lemon scent in the water and as an apperitiv for the guests after arriving an Jules Mumm with Acai flavor – a brasilian berry.

I made two cakes ( we were eight people – so I was afraid it wouldn´t be enoug to eat) – the small one was a sand cake and the other one has been a Pina Colada cake with pineapples and some rum. Yummy 🙂
