Sometimes you're just like a little bit depressed so you decide to make those 7 layer cookie things that are actually just little bitty raspberry and almond petit fours and then before you know it, you've idly eaten a truly disgusting amount of homemade almond paste

Swan Princess Party

A magical black and white swan princess party with pink, of course!

The idea of a swan party was inspired by the swan pool float we have had for a few years. It just so happened my daughter was into Barbie’s Swan Princess movie when I started planning her 4th birthday.

So, the swan idea came to life around swans and princesses  - feathers, ballet shoes (as an ode to Swan Lake), swans, and black and white accented with pink. Cake by Wink by Erika with added “4″ candle, photos by Johnny Than.

Black linens on the table with our white charivari chairs pulled in the colors perfectly! And, the cute swan plates looked great on the black linens. To turn the swan plates into swan princess plates, I found gold crowns and added them to the plates. Ta-da! Swan princess plates. We added the gold crowns to the swan masks, as well.

Behind the kids’s table, we hung silk wisteria on fishing line to have a hanging floral accent. It took way more pieces than I imagined (and I still wish I’d done more of them), but it was a fun photo spot.

The  centerpieces were one of my all time favorites! I found the set of three swans in different sizes and ordered 2. My mom arranged the fresh flowers for the party and put them in the swan planters.

The food even reflected the black, white, and pink theme! Black licorice, chocolates, and chocolate goldfish were spread with yogurt covered pretzels, vanilla sugar wafers, iced animal cookies, vanilla ding dongs, white M&Ms, mini white chocolate Oreos, white chocolate covered mini Rice Krispie treats, white swirl suckers, white chocolate truffles, and pink M&Ms on my favorite melamine platter.

Another tray had the almost black colored grapes and an assortment of white cheeses, marcona almonds, macadamia nuts, and Pirate’s Booty.

We also used black rock candy in a container with more of the white chocolate pearls.  And, I found a great jewelry stand to display powdered donuts and chocolate donuts. Now the jewelry stand holds my daughter’s headbands.

White feather boas were great for draping around platters and decorations. And, we used the same flowers from our daughter’s Garden Party first birthday to add pink accents to the feathers (seriously the best faux peonies I’ve ever found).

For decorated cookies, I chose a “4″ for the 4 year old along with a feather and swans. These were done by Sweets by Shey and were tasty and on theme. She even added a little sparkle to the 4s.

The tiered serving piece has become my go-to piece for the decorated cookies at the parties, so I’m linking it here.

Another tray of food included White Cheddar Cheez-its, Pirates Booty, white cheddar popcorn, Chicken-in-a-Biscuit, Wheat Thins, and pink Goldfish to continue the white and pink foods.

I really enjoy carrying a theme all throughout the party, if you can’t tell.

I found the cutest swan cups for all of the kids that we kept on the beverage table alongside “Swan Lake Lemonade” (pink, of course!) and the cutest swan mugs from Manor used for additional florals.

The floral swan printable sign was perfectly on theme and is linked here.

In addition to the feather and floral decor, we used swan stuffed animals like the ballerina swan pictured below from Manor.

Isn’t she a beauty with her crown and ballet slippers?!?

Now to discuss my sweet girl’s dress! 

Every year Cuteheads makes a custom piece for the birthday girl to wear. This year, Esther must have read my mind because she created this piece that was perfect for a Swan Princess Ballerina party - light pink tulle with swans all over accessorized with ballet flats and a peony hair piece. 

Our swan princess ballerina was overjoyed when Rapunzel showed up to let her know Odette from Swan Lake sends birthday wishes! Fairest of All Parties has the BEST princesses in the Houston area. They worked with me tirelessly to try to have Odette from Swan Lake, but the costume was nowhere to be found and there was not enough time to create one. 

My daughter’s favorite princess at the time was Rapunzel, so it was a welcome surprise for her. Rapunzel sang (beautifully) with the kids, told stories, and shared a treasure chest of treasures. She even did face painting on the kids. 

We loved her so much, we used Fairest of All Parties for the 5th birthday (post coming soon) and are now planning number 6 with another Fairest of All Parties princess. 

Favors for the kids included a swan princess holder, swan princess “Thank You” sticker, princess crown full of candy, princess lip balm, princess rings, princess bracelets, and stickers tied with tulle.

Marcona Almond Cookies, p.127, Dessert Person by Claire Saffitz

Made 10/6/2021

These came out surprisingly well, although I did slightly burn the bottom (not pictured lol). Matt and Caroline (partner and bff) loved these cookies, while I thought they came out OK.

Now, for the main event!

How to make vegan:

Recipe calls for 2 large eggs, instead I used 1.5 flax eggs. To make a flax egg all you need is flax seed meal (ground flax seed) and water. You can find flax seed meal in most grocery stores baking aisle. In this case, take 1.5 tbsp flax seed meal and add 4.5 tbsp of water, mix it up in a small bowl and let it sit for 5 minutes or as much time as you have patience for. I only did 1.5 flax eggs because part of the egg was originally intended to do an egg wash which I decided to skip this time around. Next time it calls for that I'll try and find a substitute.

* A couple tips from someone who regularly fucks up when baking:

Read all the instructions first! I often just read the ingredients list and then realize something is more involved than I thought.

Also, you will need 2 containers of marcona almonds, not just one like I assumed, because you need more almonds to put on top of the cookies! I didn't make as many as I could have because I had to account for having less almonds than I should.

Lastly, use a food processor when making this. Mine was dirty (we had just used it to make dinner) and I was feeling lazy. Instead of cleaning it, I used our Ninja brand blender... not ideal.

Overall, this was a really fast and simple and tasty recipe! Definitely impressed myself with this one, even though it is the easiest in the book....

[dpproject]

Ok, let me get straight to the point: these were possibly the best cookies I’ve ever made. (And I’ve made a lot of cookies.) When I saw there were a couple of rye-based recipes in the book, I got intrigued so I went to my trusty nuts dot com and ordered up a pound of it. This week I made the aptly named, thrice-baked rye cookies.

About the Recipe Season: All Difficulty: 3 (moderate)

So, Claire mentions in the intro blurb that this recipe is “step-y,” and she’s not wrong! The total time is 2 hours and 45 mins, which is about right. The thrice baked comes from 1) toasting the flour, 2) baking the dough in a sheet, 3) baking the cookies again once they’re cut. 

This is one of the more ingredient efficient recipes in the book (similarly to her marcona almond almond cookie that I’ll probably get to in the spring). Essentially, it’s equal parts AP and rye flours, 2 sticks of butter, 3/4 cup sugar, 2 hard-boiled egg yolks, vanilla, salt, and baking powder.

The trick here beyond toasting the flours is the use of hard-boiled yolks, finely ground into the mixture through a sieve, and the creaming of the butter with the sugar. Once you incorporate all the ingredients, you chill the dough for an hour. After it’s firmed for a bit, you roll it out, trace the diamond shapes, brush with an egg wash and top with demerara, and bake it for the first round at 350° F for about 20 mins. Then you separate the cookies, and pop back into the oven for the final bake, about 12 mins, give or take. Since they’re already pretty brown, it’s hard to tell exactly when to take it out, but even though I rotated pans and switched racks, one sheet baked a bit darker than the other. 

Customizations/Substitutions: While the notes say you can use any flour, like spelt, whole wheat, or buckwheat in lieu of rye, I didn’t make any substitutions.

How’d it taste? Like I said, these were a hit. They’re nutty and rich, crumbly and crunchy, buttery and just sweet enough. While there is no brown butter, they have the kind of flavor profile of a brown butter chocolate chip cookie. The toasted rye clearly enhances the finished product, and the egg wash with a sprinkling of demerara to finish makes the top crinkly and delicious. 

As you can see, Claire recommends to slice these cookies in a diamond shape, but truth be told, it was the crispy bits from the edge that I couldn’t stop nibbling on, because they were a touch crunchier and darker from their position at the edge of the sheet in the oven. In fact, popular opinion within my household was that the darker batch was a bit tastier than the lighter batch. And while the cookies are baked twice, they aren’t like a biscotti. The creamed butter places them somewhere between crunchy and chewy on the bite spectrum. I would absolutely make these again, but will have to be restrained, because they went fast. Thank you, Claire, for bringing this recipe into my life!

Next up: This one isn’t a prediction, because I already made it--the crispy mushroom galette!

We need to encounter it, I like a good crafty recreation and so the majority of our people get started with anything to earn while we wait for everybody to turn up. On the end of the week we painted floral containers what happens in history we've finished fingernail polish, decorated treasure boxes, tote sacks in addition to iced cupcakes. Mostly the item they decorate ends up becoming their bring home gift item as well. For children tasks at parties are important for 2 reasons: to be able to have them busy and to possess fun. When you chuck the get-together inside a darker location you are able to use best glow in the dark spray paint. They will love the colours. My big females have at long last picked up for the stage exactly where they're able to gladly run a soiree. I cannot let you know just how great it had been to watch Aiumi and Mari alternate outlining the games as well as making it just about all come to pass.
