kareinaI posted the other day about the smörgåstårta and birthday cake I had made for my birthday party last weekend. I have finally gotten around to taking photos of the food, now that the cake has been completely eaten up, and the sandwich is down to one last remaining piece to be eaten.
Smörgåstårta baked for my 51st birthday party:
Base of freshly baked home-made bread, sliced in thirds horizontally. Between the bottom two layers I spread a thick layer of home-made hummus, and between the upper two layers I spread a thick layer of filling made from artichoke hearts, spinach, alfalfa sprouts, sunflower sprouts, roasted garlic, and cream cheese. I then covered the whole thing with egg butter (made from freshly churned butter and hard-boiled eggs) and decorated it with cucumber, carrot, tomato, and "mâchesallad", a small, cute salad green I had never heard of before moving to Sweden.
Birthday cake for my 51st birthday party:
A pound cake base (this time made with 11 ounces each (I wasn't expecting enough guests to use a whole pound of each) of butter, sugar, eggs, flour and milk (normally they don't contain milk, just equal amounts of everything else, but I thought I would give it a try)). Between the bottom two layers is a mix of frozen blueberries, ground almonds, and a hint of powdered sugar (all run through the food processor together). Between the upper two layers is a mix of frozen raspberries, even more ground almonds than the lower layer, and some raspberry jam. Frosting is whipped cream, and it is decorated with wedges of clementine oranges, and frozen strawberries, raspberries, cherries, and red currants.
