I've framed another one of our wedding photos! I was going to decorate the frame as well, but I thought it would be overkill, so I left it as is...which is nice because I like the dark frame.
I used a lovely purple butterfly and petal themed scrapbook paper for the background, and glued the photo on off-centre as I wanted the butterfly from the paper to be visible as well (since our wedding was butterfly themed after all).I hot glued some purple roses onto the glass (I used these roses to decorate at the wedding too), and added some pretty photo corner stickers onto the photo:
I put it on the table in our entrance hall:
And then....to end this post off on a delicious sweet note....
Behold the Tres Leches cake....This photo doesn't do it justice - it looks quite ordinary, but with ingredients like condensed milk, evaporated milk and cream, this cake is anything but ordinary. :D Mine should probably have looked a tad more moist, but for some inexplicable reason I only added 1 cup cream to the sauce instead of 2 as the recipe requires.... :0
Here's the recipe:
Cake
1 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup butter (recipe says unsalted, but it's just fine with salted butter which I used!)
1 cup white sugar
5 eggs
1/2 tsp vanille essence
Sauce
2 cups whole milk (of course I substituted this for CREAM)
1 can condensed milk
1 can evaporated milk
Topping
1 cup white sugar
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 tsp vanilla essence
(this cake is yummy as is so I didn't bother with the topping....it really doesn't need it! It's the sauce that makes this cake)
* Preheat oven to 175 degrees C. Grease and flour 1 cake tin.
* Mix flour & baking powder together & set aside.
* Cream butter & sugar. Add eggs and 1/2 tsp vanilla & beat well.
* Add flour mix 2 tbs at a time & mix well until blended.
* Pour batter into cake tin and bake for about 30 mins or until ready. Poke cake many times with fork.
* Sauce - combine milk (um, CREAM), condensed milk & evaporated milk. Pour over top of cooled cake and let absorb.
* Topping - whip cream, sugar & vanilla until thick. Spread over top of cake & keep refrigerated.
Note - you'll have place this cake in a container with a high rim (at least 2 inches high to be safe), otherwise the sauce is going to overflow and we don't want to waste all that sauce, do we???
Enjoy! :D
