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!

Practice: Building a Safe Cocoon

Building a safe cocoon

The practice comes in two or even three different versions, in this chapter.

I had this idea of creating a safe cocoon, to help us move through the world more peacefully, but my guides invited me to do something else, building a kind of Merkabah, a protective and empowering shield, so I will share both of these options with you to choose from, and even add in a protective bubble as well.

Ritual: Releasing Old Assumptions

A Ritual & Prayer to release old assumptions about our bodies

Many of the thoughts, assumptions we have about our bodies are not even our own. They are what we collected by living in this world. They are insecurities projected onto us by others.

So, today we will explore a way to release these assumptions that we have about our body, that no longer serve us, so we can have a better experience in our bodies from now on.

Body – Week 1 – Pt. 1

Welcome to a new chapter in the CREATRIX School

Our lives are such incredible miracles.

Everything is moving, is changing at all times. We are always in motion, life is always in motion. Life is motion.

And we will become more familiar with the motion of our bodies, and what we like about them and what we need them for, and how we can influence their well-being, and our natural, radiant beauty in the best possible way in this chapter.

In this lesson, we start by becoming more familiar with the topic and also more aware of our bodies.

Body – Week 1 – Pt. 2

How do our bodies interact with this world?

In this lesson, we explore what it means to experience our bodies in interaction with the world.

How do people see you, and how do you see yourself? Why does this matter?

And how would you like to be seen by the world? Let’s find out!

Body – Week 1 – Pt. 3

What do you (dis)like about your body? 👻

In today’s lesson, we will be very honest with ourselves, so we can heal and create the changes we wish for.

For this, we are going to explore moments of feeling unsafe in our bodies, and moments in which we might have felt rejected for our bodies and how that has influenced our way of experiencing this world as well.

Then we’ll do a ritual to let go of the negativity we held on to about our bodies and begin to explore all the wonderful things we can do with our bodies.

Body – Week 2 – Pt. 1

More letting go and some New Ideas on Healing & Change

In this lesson, we will explore what it means to see our bodies and how we talk to them in new ways.

We will explore how healing works – without medication, and we will see how we can also change some of our features by talking to ourselves in different ways.

And we will explore why it is necessary to love ourselves and our experience for creating changes in a peaceful and joyful way.

Body – Week 2 – Pt. 2

How can we heal ourselves?

If you have allergies, or get a cold every year, if you have chronic diseases, food intolerances, migraines, if you need glasses or hearing aids, or medication of any sorts, if you take painkillers occasionally or often, if you don’t feel healthy or fit mostly or all the time, or think that your health is going to deteriorate as you age, you are limiting yourself – and if you wish, we will change the way you think about yourself and these things in this lesson today.

Because you can learn to heal yourself with your thoughts alone.

Body – Week 2 – Pt. 3

Thoughts on ageing (happily) & the Wheel of Colours & our Health

Today, we will first look at a few quotes and ideas that I found that might be helpful with our process of changing our beliefs, and then we will look at our Wheel of Colours, to find out how it can help us with healing and balancing our lives as well.

After that, we will think about age, and ageing, as that is on the one hand, a construct and illusion as well, and a necessity at the same time. And for that, we will time-travel a bit.

It’s going to be fun!

Body – Week 3 – Pt. 1

Let’s start our workout and movement routine

In the first half of this chapter we’ve focused on our mindset, how we see our world, and how we can change our mind to change our reality.

Today we will actually start moving our bodies, and I will share with you the basic requirements to keep your body healthy and fit so you can make a long healthy life a possibility for you.

Body – Week 3 – Pt. 2

Balancing our new routines

Our bodies often quite like for things to stay the same, so they might not be excited about us changing our routine.

Being aware of that will help us to set up routines that last. For that, we will start crazy small, and level up bit by bit.

And we look at how to resolve blockages that might keep us from starting at all.

Body – Week 3 – Pt. 3

What do we need to create our desired outcomes?

Today, we will think a bit about why we do what we do and how we can do it best.

We will go a bit deeper into concepts we’ve already touched on and explore why fear limits us and love sets us free, and how our personal change is good for the whole.

Body – Week 4 – Pt. 1

How do we define ourselves?

In today’s lesson, we will come back to the beginning again in some ways and explore how our bodies interact with other people in new ways.

When we started, we realized that others often defined us, now, we can use this knowledge and experience consciously, to positively influence others with our way of being, while protecting ourselves.
