Icing for decorating and frosting cakes.

Recipe for icing:
2 egg whites
400 grams icing sugar
Lemon drops


Put all ingredients into the mixing bowl. Stir for about 15 minutes. This gives a very stiff and white mass. Make sure to put plastic over the icing if you are not using it right away, it becomes pretty quickly a hard crust on it. If you're going to color the icing or the marzipan, it is recommended to use Wilton icing color. Put the icing in a decorating bag with the tip you want, and drop your imagination loose!

Visit Albena, Bulgaria. Beautiful beach for the perfect holiday and honeymoon.

This year’s holiday will soon come to an end, and one can summarize what opportunities there are to tasks in Albena, Bulgaria. The possibilities are many, so me and my husband did not have the opportunity to participate in everything.  There are many things to do for both children and adults. You can join organised tours or order a cheap taxi and travel on your own. If you want to go out of Albena there are opportunities for shopping in bigger cities such as Varna. You can participate in a jeep safari (maybe not suitable for the smallest children). If you do travel with children it is probably a safe trick to catch the bus to the water park where you can also see the dolphin show. In Albena, there are also possibilities for different kinds of water sports like water skiing, paragliding after a boat and more. My husband did of course manage to convince me to be a passenger on a water scooter. Shopping street in Albena is a quiet area where only a few cars are allowed to pass. It is very nice to walk in the street and take a look at all the small shops.
Especially in the evenings, it might be nice to have a table at one of the restaurants and listen to the music and life in the street. Like most resorts there is of course the opportunity to buy roses of the many salesmen. Not many people are equally happy for the salesmen, but it's probably something that belongs in most tourist places. For Kids there are special activities such as boats and climbing Castle which opens in the afternoon. They may also paint their own pottery and by self-made holiday gifts for Grandma:) 
We brought pictures of our kids and had it drawn of one of the artists in Albena. The result was impressive and it is strongly recommended. There are several very good artists sitting in the street, but take one round to see them work before you decide who you choose.  The beach of Albena is 4 km long and fine grain. This was a paradise for both children and adults. If you feel for walking you can walk along the promenade, and then in addition see many fine performances on the tour. (See pictures below.)
This was the second trip we made to Albena and we have no doubt taking the kids there for holiday. Albena is definitely the place to relaxing, while the possibilities are many if you want a more active holiday. Let the pictures talk for themselves. Should you find yourself taking the trip to Albena, or anywhere else for that matter, I wish all the best for you and your family during the holiday!

Beach and swimmingpool.



One of the restaurants, very nice and fun!


Very beautiful.


I would like to have this in my garden :)
 
Walking along the beach requires a cooling long drink.

 
So beautiful!


What more can you wish for? A romantic evening with roses and Sex on the beach?

About me

Vacation in Bulgaria august 2011.
Married to my husband:)  We have two kids and our house in the middle of Norway. I love everything you can do in redecorating and renovating a house. My husband does not :) I also like to try new things for dinner, and I find it fun to decorate a cake. As I told you in the intro, I am not an expert. But that`s the point. We can still manage to do things ourselves, and save a lot of money. It takes to much money to hire someone to do everything that needs to be done. So try do it like me; make it your way and be satisfied with yourself and the result of your work!

And for the profile picture: This was a fun thing made in Bulgaria during holiday. Not the way you would normally see me dressed.
