Lemon and Vanilla Cheesecake

In the end of summer my best friend's sister got married in Umeå. I was at the wedding too, helping out with the desserts, the preparations and the waitering. It was a beautiful day, a perfect couple and a wonderful wedding cake... To be honest, my first thoughts were 'What? You can't have cheesecake as a weddingcake!?!' ... But when I ate it... Let's just say I changed my mind! It was the best cheesecake I can even imagine!

A few weeks ago another trainee at Törners went to a bakery in Umeå to see how they work there and to learn from them too. It turns out, this bakery is the same one that makes the wonderful wedding cheesecakes!!! AND she got the recipe! Not to mention, it is (as the girls, that my best friend is babysitting sometimes, would've said over in Vancouver) EASY PEACY, LEMON SQUEEZY!

The Swedish Chocolate Festival Tart

My Chocolate Festival Tart

Yesterday I decided that I really want to go to the Swedish Chocolate Festival in October, which is why I visited their website, where I also found an interesting recipe of the Festival Tart. After buying all the chocolate, cream, butter and other things needed, I started baking. It was a very nice Saturday and I can tell you that eating the tart today was worth every single minute of baking (and the taste was definitely worth every calorie it containes!) Of course I'd like to share some pictures and the recipe! If you are a fan of chocolate, or have some friends you'd like to impress with a fabulous dessert, you have to try this Festival Tart! It has a first bottom layer of creamy chocolate cake, the second layer is the smoothest raspberry chocolate truffle and on top a milk chocolate mousse... It's a perfect combination!
