The idea of using Portuguese tiles came to me when I looked at holiday pictures. A few years ago I went to Portugal with a friend, everywhere you go you find the Portuguese tiles in all kinds of colours. The second thing that came to my mind was the food; a lot of seafood, (tiger) shrimp, calamari. And the beautiful blue sea. Because of the sea and blue tiles, I start searching for blue Portugean tiles. I used the colours of old buildings and rocks to create the base of the cake. For me this is a wonderful memory of a great holiday: the culture, history, food and much more!
