Recipe: A Unique Birthday Cake

← CHAPTER OVERVIEW

Let’s be creative 🪄 and make someone feel special 🌷

When I was a child, one of my best friend’s mum came from the UK, and as my friend and her family lived further away, I often got to sleep at her house when it was her birthday.

Which was fantastic, as this way I got to witness the untouched birthday cake with her in the mornings quite a few times – which would then be cut right away, so it wasn’t in its full beauty any more when the other guests arrived later that day.

And her mum made spectacular cakes that inspired me for the rest of my life.

In each country, we have different birthday traditions, and in Germany, when it’s your birthday, you wake up to a table full of presents and a home-made birthday cake.

Or at least that’s what I experienced.

But German birthday cakes, while made with love, and tasty, look kind of boring – they might be covered with powdered sugar or melted chocolate – but they are more plain and everyone gets the same – my friend’s cakes, however, always had a theme.

The one I remember most vividly had a space theme, with someone travelling to the moon I think – and that was the most fascinating thing (or cake) I had ever seen.

In that moment, when I saw that cake, I decided that I wanted to make cakes like that for other people as well – and so I quickly became the baker in our family.

Sacher Torte became one of my specialities, but I also made all kinds of birthday cakes, first for my family and later for my friends as well.

Below you can see a few of the cakes I made – they are in no way professional – but they were fun to make and each of them was made representing something meaningful to the person it was for.

Because that’s what it’s all about, right?

Birthdays are our special days – and often they are the days the whole family comes together – so making a special birthday cake for someone, which represents them, as the special and unique and loved person they are, is a wonderful opportunity for us to connect and to let someone know that we see them, and care about them.

(Btw. we did not know that the dog licked the cake until we looked at the photos later – he must have been really quick and really happy that day ;))

So, I’m not actually sharing a specific recipe with you today – you can look those up according to your preference or the birthday person’s preference.

For some of the cakes, I used marzipan for the topping, for others I used frosting, you can also use ready-made fondant, and then there are also healthier options, so the possibilities are quite endless here.

I simply wanted to share this idea with you, as I think it’s a wonderful thing to do for our family members and friends, and then, let your creativity take you where you want to go.

And I do hope you will enjoy making special birthday cakes for special people from now on, or at least try it out – and if you do, I’d love to see your cakes!

Post them and tag me, or send a picture to me!

Enjoy!

Ritual: Connecting without Recreational Drugs

Let’s make new friends – while being sober.

Drinking alcohol seems like such a normal part of the lives of many. Just looking for stock photos of ‘friends’, it’s difficult to find pictures without alcoholic beverages in them.

We get offered free drinks at restaurants, and often people act as if you are insulting them, if you don’t choose to have a drink with them. But we don’t have to be an alcoholic to not want to drink. We may simply wish not to cause unnatural highs and lows, that don’t serve us.

Friendships – Week 1 – Pt. 1

Welcome to a New Chapter in the CREATRIX School

In this chapter, we are going to focus on the friendships in our lives and how we can make new friends, in any phase of our lives, and how we can grow and also heal with with our friends.

And we will start this chapter by asking ourselves some questions to find out where we are and where we would like to go in terms of friendships and true connection.

Friendships – Week 1 – Pt. 2

How can we overcome loneliness? 🩷

Let’s explore more of what we are wishing for and see how we can overcome loneliness – individually and collectively.

Because we do all need each other. Friendships can bring us closer to our shadows, and they can help us heal. More friends are not necessarily better than a few good ones – and in the end, it all boils down to what we really wish for.
What’s that for you?

Friendships – Week 1 – Pt. 3

What would an ideal friendship look like for you?

In this lesson, we think about friendships past and present and what makes them great and also what makes us great friends.

It can be quite difficult to be really honest about the things we wish for in life, but we’ll do it anyway, as it is the only way that we can actually have all that we wish for and that our soul desires.

Friendships – Week 2 – Pt. 1

How can we be a great friend?

In this lesson, I share a bit about my own story with friendships, and the different stages of letting go of my past.

So see, if you can relate.

And then from there we continue by thinking about what we would like to have in terms of friendship now.

Friendships – Week 2 – Pt. 2

What are your friendship roles?

We start this lesson again, by looking back at what has worked for us in the past when making new friends, to see if we can still use some of the same strategies and what we’s like to change when meeting new people now.

And then we also look at the different friendship archetypes to see how to make sure that we are covered in all areas when forming new friendships now.

Friendships – Week 2 – Pt. 3

What the Wheel of Colours can tell you about your needs when it comes to friendships

The Wheel of Colours can help us to understand ourselves better, and there are certain colours and fields that can help us with creating conscious friendships.

One of them is the colour white, which tells us in which are of our lives we need to the presence and connection to other people the most.

Friendships – Week 3 – Pt. 1

Why does it get easier when we self-actualize together?

All problems in our world can be solved by raising our consciousness.

Because the higher the consciousness, the more we realize we’re all one, and that we all benefit from rising together, from helping each other to thrive as our unique selves.

So, in today’s lesson, we are going to explore this and how we can support each other in practical ways.

Friendships – Week 3 – Pt. 2

How can we build conscious friendships?

In the last lesson, we opened up to the idea of creating a support system for ourselves, so we can thrive and grow supported by community.

Today, we will explore our values, to make sure that we will be supported in a way that aligns with our soul, and our unique needs and wishes.

Friendships – Week 3 – Pt. 3

How to set our intentions

Let’s look at how to set our intentions for ourselves and to support others with theirs.

Setting intentions and supporting others with theirs is a spiritual practice as well, as it can teach us how not to limit ourselves and others, and it can help us to act in non-judgemental loving and supportive ways.
