The Laughing Buddha Or Hotei Cake
I did not think of making a cake that month. My daddy wanted a sweet for his birthday. But it all started with an elephant . Close to my place there is a fabulous gift shop. During one of my visits, I set my eyes on an elephant. What a gorgeous Thai carving made of a solid poice of a mango tree! I was standing there watching it and suddenly I imagined a cake upon it. It was the cake! And as my father’s birthday was drawing near, I decided to make the cake I had seen in my mind. When I made it, the owner of the gift shop kindly allowed me to make a picture of the cake upon the elephant. With this figure of the Laughing Buddha or Hotei I wished my father health and well-being. Of all the different types of the Laughing Buddha, I chose to make the one holding a peach in his left hand a bag symbolizing wealth and good fortune in his right one. I hope you will like it too!

St. Demetrius Of Thessaloniki
Bulgarian people profess Christian faith and honor religious icons as its sacred religious objects. Apart from being religious symbols, they are true works of art. Depicting Jesus Christ, Mary, the Holy mother of God, apostles and saints, icons are considered valuable gifts during Christian celebrations. One of the most famous and revered Christian saints is St. Demetrius of Thessaloniki, who was born in the 3rd century AD and died a martyr’s death on October 26, 306 AD. On this date the Bulgarians venerate his memory and all men named after the Saint celebrate. You can see a scaled-down version of the religious icon of St. Demetrius of Thessaloniki, author unknown. It is a masterpiece cast in silver, displayed at the church of St. Demetrius’ in the city of Plovdiv. I tried my best to recreate it by using certain techniques of confectionery art. I hope you will like it.
