Zamzam Birthday cakes

Image
  I have been making wedding cakes for a while as you have probably seen on this blog. Recently I have been asked to make a couple of birthday cakes for people. This one with fresh roses had a chocolate devils food cake inside and was decorated on the outside with chololate fans and roses. I tried to give it more of a sculptural feel with some gold dust. The wedding season is starting in March in Marrakech so I should soon have some more cakes to show you. Email me if you have any cake requests and need a quote - Emma zamzamriad@gmail.com

Put some spinach leaves in a pan with olive oil, garlic and sliced mushrooms, saute until soft, push to one side of the pan and slowly fry two eggs. Serve soft eggs on the spinage topped with crumbled feta - Cant get enough of this one at the moment! a great breakfast or quick lunch.

The best thing was that they all arrived ready to get stuck in and enjoyed being in a calm environment with the support of other women. The group were straight from Europe, 3 brokers, a Dr in Endocrology, various business women, a Post Mistress (who is going to give us the secrets to fast post in and out of Morocco). This retreat was busy, we had daily yoga with the wonderful Aisha , Reiki with Rebecca , cooking with Ilam and numerous spa treatments. The Hammam which I always try to get in early always amazes guests. They cannot believe how new and fresh they feel from a hot scrub. It's amazing the effect the hammam has just by getting your circulation going. Its also a symbolic act of scrubbing off the
