Part 2 on how to use 1.5kg of red grapes....

I had some frozen apples lying around in the fridge so combined them with the grapes. I found this recipe for Grape & Apple Pie on  Epicurious.


My daughter helped me with the pastry hence the lobsters. I needed to tend to her when the pie was in the oven, so slightly over done;)

Beaumes-de-Venise Cake with Grapes

When shopping yesterday at my favourite Gida I was offered 3 boxes of red grapes for 1Euro. It didn't take me long to say yes to the bargain, but when I came home I was wondering what we will do with 1.5kg of grapes.


We are visiting friends for tea so I've decided to make a Beaumes-de-Venise Cake with Grapes. I've found this recipe on Epicurious, one of many go to website when I need inspirations. This is simple cake with grapes and Muscat, I didn't have the one from town in the Vaucluse, but I have found a different in our cupboard.

A men's 30th birthday cake

This is my second project that I've made this past week end. My girlfriend wanted to surprise her boyfriend when celebrating a milestone in Berlin.
It was fun making the bow!
This is a vanilla Victoria sponge cake with vanilla butter cream, covered with a layer of marzipan and white fondant icing. All colours and decorative elements are edible, including the silver paint.
