Jelly boats| Party special | Kidsfriendly| Summer special |home made orange jelly set in orange peel cups




                                               Row row row your boat 
                                              gently  down the stream
                                             Merrily  merrily  merrily 
                                                   life is but a dream .............
                                                    

Ahhh ! we all have grown up learning this rhyme .Actually we relive our child hood with our kids 
.When I look up to my kids i feel as if there has been a replay button of my life switched on  .When the kids are back from school in the scorching noon they need eye soothing ,cool and refreshing treats
 to bring back to life.I had seen this video on you tube and has been a long due post .With summer at its peak it was the perfect time to try it .

Orange cake




Fresh oranges sitting on the kitchen counter were giving me a left out alone !!!! look .Lil Z loves oranges to the core ,He wants to eat it even if they are sour ,"No problem momma just add a little bit of salt and pepper it will be okay,it was his justification to eat the sour oranges .

Any ways I was not okay with his word due to the chill weather .Iwas just pondering upon what to make with these oranges as I had already made orange pudding, I wanted something different for the kids to rejoice their holidays ,suddenly this orange cake clicked to me which was a long...... pending "to do " due.My kids love baked goodies very much ,but now a days I am avoiding it due to health concerns -and all thanks to the ever increasing weight !!!

If you bake some thing how can you control your self from having a bite of it!!!.Indeed a difficult task .But my kids keep pestering "momma this is totally unfair if you are on a diet then you can bake for us ?don't u love us ?This is seriously emotional blackmailing :) 

I too feel that baking and frosting a cake is a way to express your love to your loved ones ,so finally surrendered my self to the kids and agreed to bake a cake for them .Naked cake are the talk of the season ....and do cater a minimal calories unlike the frosted cakes loaded with whipped cream or butter cream or even fondants ,so I  had it just plain cake with a cup of coffee.If you wish you can go for a frosting with whipped cream or chocolate mouse as I had done for Joan's cake .I personally prefer frosted cakes for any birthdays or family occasions  .

Now over to the recipe
