The day has come!

Finally, today I'm going to a speciallized store to browse around and maybe buy some stuff...knowing myself, probbaly I'll buy more than "some" stuff...I have passed by this store many times but never went inside. But today is the day. This is the website  and these are the pictures posted on their website showing the inside. I might take a few pictures myself. Look at these wonderfull wedding , birthday they make there! And they make all kinds of cakes! It is 9:08 and it will take me around 45 to drive there...so I better leave now!! Woohoo...I'll be like Alice in the wonderland!!

Caramel sauce


I love this sauce! Not hard to make at all if you understand some chemistry concepts about sugar crystallization. The recipe belongs to Ina Garten (of course!!!). I have made this recipe quite a few times...the first time I actually ruined it, but I gave it a second shot and I'm glad I did. Ina's recipes are always perfect, so I knew it must have been "me" doing something wrong the first time. The second time I tried it, it came out perfectly.
All you need is sugar,water,heavy cream and vanilla...I did add a pinch if salt and 2 TBS of butter at the end.


More pictures and the recipe TOMORROW (well, today actually...it is already 1:08 am)!

Strawberries...and more (II)



Because I had a lot of strawberry sauce leftover I had to do something with it...and I made strawberry shortcakes trifles! I had never made a shortcake before and it was hard to decide which recipe to try out of the thousands recipes I found online.










Now, these are pictures of the shortcake cookies:
