Wedding Cake and Tapas Event (Prague, CZ)

My friend Livie has a professional kitchen and I have been helping her organize events.  Her first theme party idea was a wedding cake and tapas event.  She needed to practice making a wedding cake for a bride later this month.  The bride wants a rustic cake and asked several questions about the creme being refrigerated or not, so Livie wanted to practice.  She had some of her chef friends help make the tapas. There were lots of nice people who attended and it was nice meeting new people.  Livie will be having more theme events in her kitchen, so I'm looking forward to what the next events will be.

Noc Kostelu (Prague, CZ)

My friends and I decided to check out some churches because on Noc Kostelu (12.6) there were many churches that were open to the public and even some areas of the churches that people would normally not be able to go to.   At the first church we went to we were able to ring the bell!!!! It was so cool!  The bell I rang was 375 kg.  The sound was so strong and the force of the bell was amazing.  Then we went for a drink break.  Everyone had beer, but I had a delicious homemade lemonade with blended strawberries, mint and lemon.  Then we went to a church with nice horse statues in front of it.  The last church we went to looked very humble and had desks that reminded me of school.  It was a nice night of exploring churches that I would've never been into if it wasn't for the night and the tasting session I had before hand.  My friends and I were just looking for the churches closest to us.

Tasting Session (Prague, CZ)

My friend Livie is going to rent the bottom part of her kitchen to a Japanese woman who will start catering and making bento boxes.  This past Friday was a private tasting session so she could get advice from people of what they thought of her creations.  Everything was delicious, just a few items needed an extra punch of flavor.  It was a nice afternoon full of delicious healthy Japanese food.
