My friend’s daughter turned 16 years old last week.
She choose this colors, design and red roses, because her daughter loves the theme ” Phanton of Opera” .
And so do I…

In the last feel months, I baked a lot of cakes, but this one it was a special one, because I know the family since the Sweet Girl born, and this make me so emotional envolved to do my very best in this special cake.

Every sugar rose , each petal , each detail of the cake, I put my heart on it.

Her mom , told me today, that her daughter’s eyes shined like a diamond when she saw the cake, the party was perfect .

This ” shine eyes” is priceless for me .

I am sure that all princess when they are 3 years old… they can eat only chocolata mousse cake like this one.
My friend made the cake top in biscuit.Thanks Tatiane Tibbets.

” Camafeu de Nozes”,translates in english as “walnut cameos” and it’s easy to see from the photo above how this sweet got its name. The oval shape, the white color of the sweet itself, and the piece of walnut decorating the top are all reminiscent of cameos lockets from former times.
This recipe is easy to make and the sweets are absolutely delicious.
A tray of camafeus, decorated and wrapped, makes a wonderful present at Christmas-time or any other occasion

Pao de Mel is a Brazilian mini cake that makes my mouth water just from hearing the words being uttered. They were one of my biggest downfalls when I made and every time I went back to visit my family.
They are mildly spiced with cinammon, ground cloves, nutmeg and the sweet gooeyness of honey,baked into a scrumptious cake, cut into squares,then cut in a half and filled with…doce de leite, and finally dipped into a vat of melted chocolate. The combination of crispy chocolate crust,soft spiced cake and creamy doce de leite on the inside are ” out of this world” !!!!

Bem casados (happily married,if it can be translated),are two little sponge cakes filled with dulce de leche,egg curd or jan, and are a must have in aby wedding in Brazil. They are individually wrapped in crepe paper and tied with a little bow (oh, so adorable!),and offered in the end of the wedding reception as a favor to the guests. The confection represents the couple together in their new sweet life.

If you’ve ever been to a wedding in Brazil, you probably know how everybody is fascineted about this little cakes.

It is to die for it ! Trust me … xx

Brazilian chocolate mousse cake

this cake it was for a lovely tennager girl, friend of mine. When I beggan planning this cake,I was feeling blue with myself. Everybody has problems, that”s a part of life. So, I focused in my work, and like always, my ideas were starting like flowers when they blossom in my mind and my joy came back. I thought to myself that somebody was wainting for a “birthday cake” and it was in my hands all the responsability of this “happiness”.So, her eyes shinned when she saw her special birthday cake. For me the most important thing is to see the feelings of the person in his(hers) eyes when they received my cake that I made with so much love and care :-)... Sorry about my english … :-0 I’m speak brazilian portuguese… tks.

When somebody ask me some ideas for a surprise cake, my imagination go so far way looking for style who can bring a “big smile” for somebody special .

I made this special cake for my friend’s daugther in her 15th birthday. The birthday party was at Easter . So, I combined the 3 ideas : Spring, 15 years old and Easter

My dear friend lives in England and ask me to bake a surprise birthday cake to her little daughther. And the sweet girl loves blue… :-)
