My OH is turning 27 the 24th of December! It's gonna be a feast of a day as we also celebrate "traditional" Danish Christmas then.
The menu so far counts:
Roasted and stuffed duck (apple and prunes, as per tradition)
Rosemary and sage butter Brussels sprouts with bacon
Mandarin roasted vegetables (Parsnips, carrots, etc.)
Roasted potatoes
Caramelised potatoes
Ris ala mande (which is a traditional Danish rice pudding with cream, almonds, vanilla and cherry sauce)
But, OH needs to have a cake too! Because of his birth date his birthday was largely ignored growing up as no one wanted to come down at Christmas or didn't want to come two days in a row. So, I always make a huge fuss (incidentally, my traditional Danish Christmas dinner only count about three traditional items, all luckily some of OH favourite foods, so overall the menu contains his favourite food all together)
These are the cakes I've thought about (he says as long as its not black cherry gateau he doesn't mind!):
- Strawberry & Clotted cream Cheesecake
- Very Berry Cheesecake
- Belgian Chocolate & Pear tart
- Banoffee pie
- Profiterol 'tower'
- Belgian chocolate and orange cake
Which one would you make?
