Peekaboo heart cake

We're still in the spirit of valentine around here!



I saw this cake on pinterest a while ago and been meaning to do it ever since- like any other pin of the almost 1000 i have pinned- but this one looks sophisticated and complicated but it is so simple to make. And having the appropriate cookie cutter you can adapt it to almost any occasion you have and it would definitely wow the crowd!
I got the "how to's" of this cake from the following site,http://www.kidskubby.com/peekaboo-pumpkin-pound-cake/, over there they did a pumpkin cake with a pumpkin peekaboo! check them out!


I used my own recipe of a vanilla pound cake and a chocolate pound cake, yes you will be doing two cakes in one so if you have cake mix boxes in hand it is even better!


First start with the chocolate cake mix



Pour the mix into a loaf pan and straight to the oven


Make sure not to cook it through till then end, and remove from the oven 10 mins before its time. Leave it to cool on a wire rack and then put it in the fridge for four hours.

In the meantime prepare white cake mix but don't pour it in in the loaf pan yet...


You will need to take out the chocolate cake from the fridge, cut it in large pieces and then start cutting with your cookie cutter.




Then align the heart shaped cake pieces in the greased and flowered loaf pan.






And pour your white cake mix over them, make sure the mix covers the heart pieces.


ARE YOU READY?


how cute is that??

Try the different cookie cutters you have, a christmas tree for xmas time, even an alphabet letter cutter would look super fun at your next kid's party! try them out and let me see how they look!

Appreciation taught by the Kambamba School Children

Image
For the past few months, and after around 7 years in Angola I can finally say that I am actually doing what i planned to when i first decided to move to Africa. Help the underprivileged, the children in these impoverished communities and through this I reach an inner satisfaction for being in this country. It all happened when i met a group of amazing inspiring women who are part of the Kambamba school project , a school which i look forward to visiting every week, and which we fundraise for in different ways in Luanda.  THE ACTUAL SCHOOL Four walls, a roof a teacher and students. This is what a basic school structure is composed off,  and this is what an expat lady’s new year resolution was transformed into, the Kambamba school project for 90 kids of the Kambamba community of Angola’s capital of Luanda. Marjan Looyeh, an expat in Luanda used to visit the poor community with a friend to teach the kids some basic English and to play with them. They g

Luanda Magic Parc of Miramar

Image
  I think it's Luanda's only outdoor play area for kids of all ages and it is definitely worth a weekly visit from you no matter where you live in Luanda. The parc located in the Miramar area has an entrance fee of only 5 dollars and is suitable for kids of all ages.     It is equipped with outdoor play area for young children- the plastic houses, slides,.. - and for older kids you can find several jumping castles and an arena for renting electric cars.   Other options for rent for 5 $ for half an hour are small bicycles and cars. If you are in Luanda and have kids please do visit this park and I am sure you will be visiting it again and again. All the toys and the park all in all are very well maintained. A large seating area for parents with a café that serves refreshments and sandwiches is also available inside the park. And if you find any other entertainment for kids in Luanda, please share and let us know :)

In Luanda...Here's what you need to know !

Since I've been here, most of my findings about the city were done online which earned me the nickname of  "Google it" among my friends. Although the ressources are minimal, however over the years more and more sites have been emerging to help expats and locals move around the country, find something they are looking for and so on. Recently I came upon this great blog that I found through facebook, "Les marraines de Luanda", make sure to look them up, they also have a blog under the same name http://lesmarrainesdeluanda.blogspot.com/  . It's a blog written in French by several contributing expats. The various categories that it includes makes it super easy to navigate and to find exactly what you are looking for. So drop by the blog whether you are looking for a nanny, a supermarket, restaurant or some activity to do around the city. I found my son's playgroup through their blog. Also in french check www.vivreenangola.com  . A group of french expats
