A new 're-created' creation... oh so delicious!

This was my most favourite treat when I was a child. We used to go to bakeries where we'd get them fresh along with a cup of hot chocolate.

Yet another taste of lovely Europe for dear North America! :-)

Hazelnut crust topped with a smooth chocolate butter cream, glazed with rich callebaut chocolate.

The combination of hazelnut and dark chocolate is absolutely mouth watering!

A good cake for a good friend

I wasn't sure what type of cake to make for my friend's bday. Not that I was out of ideas, there are just so many!

The solution to my "problem" (wouldn't call it that, but that's what I thought it was at the time)all started with a thought I had one morning laying in bed. ....Ridiculous to think about marzipan first thing in the morning, but that's just what foodies do... For ages now I've been wanting to try out some new marzipan shapes and especially colourings with natural additives. I thought I'd love to make little carrots out of marzipan. So a carrot cake it was!

I used a European carrot cake recipe, which made an amazingly flavourful and very dense cake and topped it with a whipped vanilla-cream cheese icing. And... Il carroties!

I used turmeric powder to colour the root and the greens I coloured with just that. Greens. I had some of the Enerex greens powder left in my cupboard and it worked perfectly fine!

And some manly candles..Et voila!

Pizza Margherita

Ola!

Times at Cafe Melange have been busy. Amongst the usual deliveries, there is lots of creative brain storming happening...

It is now time for the Pizza Bleu to go to summer-hibernation as it seems to be more of a fall/winter Pizza.

We welcome the lovely Pizza Margherita to our Menu for the summer months! Beautiful and so tasty in its simplicity!

Homemade tomato sauce, real Mozzarella (Bocconcini) topped with finely minced fresh Bazil. Mmh. Delizioso!!!

Ouvert

Ola!

Even though I went through the biggest roller coaster of emotions, the grand opening of Cafe Melange was a hit!

I had no idea one can have so many emotions all at once! How come no one tells me those things?!

Nonetheless, the whole show was grand and the most important thing is that people love my food.

Cafe Melange will be featured in the Kootenay Coop Newsletter in May, so please get a copy or sign up for their monthly E-mails. (I will post the article on here as well)

Thank-you for all of your support, cheers, excitement, hugs and smiles, I am so happy to be doing what I'm doing.

A bientot!
