How to make espresso at home - Guest Post

Espresso is a black coffee made in a coffee machine or a special coffee machine where hot water at a pressure of 9 bar is passed through the compressed ground beans. The ready beverage must have a thick foam (barista called cream) of uniform golden-nut color, at least 2 mm thick. The taste of the espresso harmonises sweetness, bitterness and light acidity. Shades of taste depend on the coffee beans in the blend, roasting degree and barista skills.
The home of the drink is Italy. Espresso is prepared very quickly and drinks just as quickly. It has several options and serves as the basis for many other coffee beverages.

Cactus Cake for Cinco De Mayo

I don't have any pictures as I was making this but I will share the recipe I used. It was a red velvet cake inside with butter cream frosting. The green is fondant. This was a very big cake. It was about 24" tall.

I started by making three 9x13" cakes. After they were cooled I started to freehand cut out and piece together what I thought looked like a cactus. I then frosted it and added on another layer. I used a lot of frosting to glue it all together. I then smoothed the frosting out as best as I could. 

The night before I made two batches of fondant and colored it with green gel coloring. I then rolled out my fondant. This was the most difficult part because the cake was so large. I have never had to work with this big of an area with fondant. My son actually had to help put the fondant on this one. After the fondant was on I took a small round ball tool and made the lines in running down the cactus.

Next I took sunburst candies and rolled them out and cut them in the shape of flowers. I use the candies when I need different colors and I only need a small amount. The stickers are toothpicks broken in half and stuck all over. I would like to lie and say that I made the lizard but it is a small plastic one that I purchased.:)

Too funny not to share with my followers! 😂

My husband is not a real big Facebook person and only follows a couple family members so I knew he had not seen this prank yet. He was way too nice about it, I would have been so ticked!!! 😡
 I laughed till it hurt! 😂😂😂🤣  And when he sniffs his fingers at the end. 🤣
