Dance and Beach theme cake

It's been a long overdue since I posted anything in my blog. Finally posting pictures of the cake which I baked in November. Theme of the cake - "Interests" Birthday girls's interests are captured in the cake. All the items on the cake are edible except umbrella. Thanks to my friend for all the help and a great idea of decorating the tier with song with musical notes. With the limited knowledge about music I decorated bottom tier with musical notes (without the lines.) of one song thinking everyone can depict the song. But we were wrong. It seems no one can read musical notes without the lines :( Lesson learned but we were super happy that we could make them read the moment we asked them to see the difference of height and imagine invisible lines :) Overall everyone loved the concept and the creativity.

Dates Burfi with Nuts (Khajoor Ladoo)

Today I am going to write about a recipe which I learned from my friend and colleague Leena . This is a sweet made with Dates/ Khajoor and nuts. Information about Dates: Dates are very nutritious. Dates are loaded with the energy you need every day – to win a marathon race or get you through a tough day. With only 24 calories per date (248 per 100 gram serving), dates are high in dietary fiber, low in fat, cholesterol, and sodium, and contain more potassium than bananas! Very few other fruits offer this healthful combination. Dates also helps to build the body and reduces alcohol intoxication. It is usually taken raw or with milk. It is a good source of calcium and iron and sugars. More nutritious values can be found here . Now coming to the recipe, this recipe has lots of nuts. I used almonds,walnuts, pistachios, pecans.
