So I did a chocolate mousse that held a toy horse - see link above - and made an enclosure with orangey-sugar and dark chocolate that were molded into sticks for a party.

Now I have to make something similar for another birthday party. The toy will be a blue mermaid and seahorse combo. The party will be a pool party outdoors in a very hot day. Any suggestions? I am thinking something cold and fruity, that can have beachy colors and not melt in the sun…do you know of any recipes that might work?

Is there maybe a cake that has the dough full of juice and is refrigerated? Maybe I could make a blue-tinted cake that way that tasted of fruity goodness? (I wouldn’t use much food dye because I don’t really like that sort of thing)

I have a whole bread and like 8-10 lemons…ideas to combine both?

Há algum sub sobre cozinha/padaria em português que eu não esteja a encontrar? Tenho uma pergunta sobre massa-mãe e isco que talvez faça mais sentido perguntar lá.

Edit: cooking or baking!

Looking at another post I was curious to see what fun stories you have from learning how to cook as a child, preteen, or teen.

I still remember how my grandmother tried to teach me as a child how to peel fruit but since I was left handed she couldn’t figure out the best way to do it and my father (left handed as well) did it instead.

Another story: I, as a preteen, was cutting a piri piri pepper to make chilli. I washed my hands when I was done (I knew that much) but didn’t get all of the juices from under my nails apparently. I touched my eyes later on and remembered that some classrooms in school had eyewash stains, so I went to the bathroom and put my head under the sink for a while. And then I remembered milk. And I grabbed a carton and took it to the bathroom. What a relief!! I remembered talking to my dad about it afterwards. He wasn’t upset - he did ask me why I didn’t wash my hands and I told him I did - and was being very light about it all while I was worried we had wasted a whole milk carton 😅
