Happy birthday Fifi!!! Cake for dogs recipe

Today Fifi turns two years old and, because she is a special member of our little family, we have organised a little party to wish her a happy brithday all togheter! The main surprise for her was to find a special cake espacially made for her, which I have made myself with genuin and fresh products. And which I would like to share with this delicious recipe for dogs, just to try it out for the happiness of your little fluffly friends. Here's the ingredients and the recipe.

Ingredients:
100 g of rice
100 g of fish (for instance, of cod)
1 tablespoon of fresh cheese (for instance, of Philadelphia)
1 tablespoon of olive oil
About 20 cookies with the shape of a bone. For the recipe, see here.

 
Instructions: 

Boil the rice for about 25-30 minutes. Drain and swill it in order to remove any residual starch. At the same time, boil also the fish in another pan for 15 minute and, after having drained it, complete the cooking with some freash cheese stiring it up. Once done, add also the rice til aving an homogeneus compound. Smear a small bowl with some olive oil and then pour the compound into the bowl. Stuff and press it with the help of a tablespoon to umiform its surface. Then put the bowl into some warm water for 10 minuts, this serves to made the compound stick to the shape of the bowl. Afterward, turn it over a plates, shake to help the compound to drop from the bowl, and embellish the board of the cake with the bone-shaped cookies, as shown in the photo. Finished! (The cookies that I made have been customisez with the Fifi's name, thanks to a tool bought here).

And here Fifi struggling with her birthday cake, happy birthday!!!

Biscuit Time

Breakfast is the moment of the day that I prefer, it's great to start every morning with delicious things and to relax while eating croissants beurre or pains au chocolats... French viennoiserie, I'm crazy for you! The breakfast of this morning was more wonderful for me than normal, and maybe more heavy than usual; indeed I've made some little biscuits using two very special pastry cutters for cup-adorning cookies, which I've found at the Bon Marché here in Paris...

Here's the recipe:

ingredients: 150 g butter, 100 g sugar, 300 g flour, 1 egg, 1 pinch of salt

preparation: cream butter, egg, sugar and flour. Add then then salt. Wrap this dough in cling foil and place in the fridge for at least one hour. Now roll out the pastry in approx. 3 mm thick sheets between two layers of baking foil (it's better to use wooden slats as well - these make it easier to attain an even thickness). Cut out the biscuits and remove the remaining pastry away from the cut-out shapes. Leave the cookies on the baking foil and place on a baking tray. Bake in pre-set hoven (top and bottom heat) at 180 °C for 7-10 minutes. Et voilà, bon appétit!

This French touch to my breakfast gives me the idea to produce a couple of stamp sets in parisian style, while the ever-present mustache - a cult item of last season: one "classic" with the writing "voilà" and another "curly" marked with "bonjour"... you can find them on my etsy!
