HsB Dessert World Cup 2014 - quarter finals II

Tonight, after the matches between Argentina and Belgium, Holland and Costa Rica, we have to eliminate waffles and dulce de tres leches. 

In the game remain Dutch stroopwafel and Argentinian alfajores. 

Let´s see what will happen at the semi finals...

Enjoy,

Martina

no matter who wins I can´t wait to bake....

HsB Dessert World Cup 2014 - quarter finals I

Directly from the football fields of Brasil, I present to you the winners of tonight and therefore moving to the next round: Schwarzwälder Sahne-Kirschtorte from Germany and brigadeiros from the hosting country, Brazil.

Such a shame for Colombia (I was actually cheering for them) and their brazo de reina. Also for French macarons, even though I have had enough of those ;)

Don´t forget to follow the games tomorrow... Argentina vs. Belgium and Holland vs. Costa Rica.

Enjoy,

Martina

HsB Dessert World Cup 2014 - round of 16

After 3 days of matches ended today, these are the results of the four rounds of 16. 

Unfortunately the teams and sweets flying home are: empolvados from Chile, postre chajá from Uruguay, churros from Mexico, galaktoboureko from Greece, puff puff from Nigeria, taminas from Algeria, Toblerone mousse from Switzerland, and last but not least chocolate chips cookies from the USA.

But we still have some great deserts moving to the next stage of the HsB Desserts World Cup 2014, so stay tuned to see which one will win, which one will have the honour to meet my oven, hahaha! I personally cheer for the Colombian brazo de reina and Argentinian alfajores, although the Brazilian brigadeiros are also very good. Let´s see what happens next...

Enjoy,

HsB Dessert World Cup 2014

Today the FIFA World Cup 2014 has officially started! 

Whilst following the real games, taking place in Brazil, I will make my very own world cup of sweets: 

the HsB Dessert World Cup! 

For every real soccer team I have selected a dessert and as teams move on towards the finals I will also eliminate recipes. 

At the end I will bake the recipe of the winning country. 

So let the matches begin and may the best recipe win!

Enjoy,

Martina
