How is everyone? I am still trying to recover from all the food and sweets overdose. I hope you're managing a lot better than I am (I suck at staying away from food anyways)!
I am a little excited today as I tried to make a vasilopita for the first time.
Vasilopita? I have unknown words, Miss!
Right, vasilopita is a Greek New Year's custom with a loooong history. It is basically a cake baked with a coin in it. On New Year's we cut it and the one who finds the coin in his piece is considered to be the lucky one of the year.
Have a look at my vasilopita version:
I have to admit I borrowed the styling idea from my cousin. I tried to make it look as good as hers, but you see, I don't have an artist's DNA like she does...
Anyways, I am still proud of my creation, I only hope it tastes good so that I don't disappoint my guests on New Year's. And since I mentioned my guests, wanna take a look of the cute little thank you for coming gifts I made for them?
A simple yarn winter cap, a chocolate and some candies with a mini Good-Year card and there you have it! A great gift for the people you're having dinner with!
I need to get back to my kitchen now. I hope to come back tomorrow, but if I don't find the time, I'm wishing to all of you:
a magnificent, happy, healthy, productive and bright new year! May 2020 bring joy to your hearts and light to your souls!
Take care!
Thank you so much for your time!
Until my next post,
Steem on and keep smiling, people!
