This cheesecake was one of blog’s first recipes. The photo of the post was (to say the least) not good. The recipe though is very good so I decided to give it a second chance to its presentation. I hope my photographic skills will get even better and to give the post a third chance 😉 The only change I made to the recipe is to cook less the sweetened condensed milk and to spread it on top of the cheesecake. You may find the recipe box at the end of the post.
C2 Craft Party Vol 3 was a good reason to make the cheesecake once again. It was planned with lots of love from C2 team. This time we had the support of our beloved sponsors. I was extra nervous for the specific party since it was my turn to show some of my craft: how to make a sugar paste owl cookie. For once I was showing and not making and Zina had a blast watching me freak out ha ha!
So I lovely Sunday morning we got together at Terra Delicia, a lovely and cozy space where you can have your coffee and get cooking supplies, spices, tea and food. My kind of paradise as you can understand.
The C2 girls as soon as we arrived, we ordered coffee and started preparations right away. We set up the supplies bags all wrapped and personalised with lovely tags from Happy Teapot. I set up the cookies I baked especially for the occasion and put a special banner on top of them so that everyone who was passing by will know we are having a Craft Party 🙂 The banner was bought from here and the balloons from there.
At our working bench were carefully placed the essential for our fist craft by Eleni: cooking paper, stencils (all cut out by Eleni’s hands), and the super cute gifts for our guests from Van Design : a notebook and a magnet/pin.
Our friends finally arrived, ordered their drinks and we started right away with our crafting!
Our first craft was to decorate an apron! The aprons, colors and tampons are from dimiourgise.gr Hobby Factory. In every craft party I get really impressed on how easy it is to pull through a crafting project that seems like mission impossible. In this case I guess Eleni’s stencils made all the difference. I learned from the experienced crafters that you can get stencils so that was a relief!
After making the aprons we had a break to taste my cheesecake and cookies, drink our coffee and tea and to photoshoot our aprons. And all the other staff around us. And each other. Ok guys we are bloggers what do you expect?
In the meanwhile the aprons were ready for use so we put them on and proceed to my craft: make a sugar paste owl cookie.
My intention was to show that you really do not need all this special equipment to make sugar art. So plastic pipes (after being cut and refined from Yiannis) became our rollers. And a round pimping tool (don’t ask me how its called) became our cutters. The sugar pastes are from Pastry Ideas.
I really enjoyed the whole thing and especially for the girls who not only did they pull it through, they even made it their own and each girl made her own special owl! Check out how cute they came to be!
They made a special edible gift wrapped with this lovely ribbon from Happy Teapot.
It was a lovely and creative Sunday evening for both adults and kids ! We really had a blast !
For all the craft you saw above you can find the tutorials in our new christmas issue of C2 in this link. Our next craft party (making things for a good cause) is already on its way and I am sure that Zina is planning at least three more!
I would like to thank our guests that always come and participate with lots of joy to our parties.The team of C2 who always work togethers with team spirit and support. And last but not least our sponsors who embraced our effort and made it happen:
Terra Delicia for the hospitality and supplies
Βαν Design for the custom made notebooks and pins
Dimiourgise- Hobby Factory for the aprons, colors and tampons
Pastry Ideas for the sugar pastes.
