Almond bones ( ossa dei morti)



These are almond filled pastries. November is the month of the dead and these are shaped to symbolize dead. Also known in Italian 'Osso di morto'. These are found through the month of November. These consist of pastry filled with a mixture of ground almonds and decorated with some royal icing. I made about 150 so far and still receiving requests for these. Next year these will look much better since I just bought a bone shaped cookie cutter. They'll be all the same size and shape :)

I also made a huge bone (if you can call it like that) for my boyfriend. It still vanished in a few days. :)

Draughts cake

This is a traditional almond torte. Very popular in Malta and I've already posted several ones. Sometimes this torte is made from ground almonds substitute which usually it's a ground peanut mixture with almond essence obviously it's much cheaper and less tasty.I prefer the taste of pure ground almonds and only use those in my cakes and bakes.
I decorated this cake as draughts board made of sugar paste/fondant. Everything is edible except the cake board :)

Blackberry cream cupcakes

I made these cupcakes a few weeks ago when I still had some blackberries available. I used a basic vanilla cupcake, to part of the batter I added some squashed blackberries and tho others I added whole blackberries. For the frosting I just whipped some cream and added some mashed blackberries (very few).
Help: can anyone suggest a good cream cheese frosting recipe?
