Please vote for me in Årets Bak- och Dessertmästare

I'm currently participating in a baking contest for amateur bakers here in Sweden and
I've made it through to the semi finals, in which I need people to vote for my contribution in order to make it to the final. Thus, please go to

http://bakochdessert.se/semifinal

and vote for nr 1 (Anders Lindgren) by clicking the GILLA button under my name.

Then just click the TILLBAKA button to close the form that appears and you are done. No registration necessary.

Please also spread this to other people in your social networks - I need all the votes I can get. :)
(This is the last week of voting, and we are six people battling it out for the five spots in the final, so everybody is hustling for votes - please help me!)

Thanks a lot for your help!

New Year's Eve 2010/2011

Happy New Year to all my blog readers. This past NYE, I celebrated with a group of good friends. Dinner was done "potluck tapas style" and different guests had been assigned different items to bring in order to not have someone spend all of NYE in the kitchen. As is common on occasions like this, I had been assigned to dessert duty, and decided to go with an old favorite. The Stockholm Chocolate Festival cake that I made before was such a huge success, was really delicious, and wasn't all to hard to make (for some definition of hard...), so making that again was a choice that couldn't go wrong.

That was a very good decision as it turned out just as good this time around. I used my edible gold spray paint and some glitter of various colors to make it glamorous for the occasion. Pictures below:

The pastry chef and his cake.

Decorated so that we know what year we are entering.

It's NYE after all, so we need some sparklers.
