50-th Birthday

I'm exhausted! It took me 10 days to cook all the food, decorate, and organise everything else - lighting, heating, serving...
Unfortunately, I didn't take pictures along the process. I thought I'll set the table and then take pictures....BIG MISTAKE! I didn't have time to do that,so - NO pictures :-(

Zabava je bila otkazana, pa ponovo zakazana 2 sedmice kasnije. 10 dana mi je trebalo da sve organizujem i skuham sta sam planirala. Posteno sam se umorila. Slikala usput nisam; mislila sam slikati kad sve postavim. GRESKA! Nije bilo vremena za slikanje kad su gosti poceli pristizati. NEMA slika :-(

Method:
Take the pastry out of freezer, cover with a clean tea towel and let it defrost.
