DIY: Bio ricotta cheese Ice Cream!

As every year when the summer is coming, I like making ice cream at home with natural ingredients, today I would like to share with you my recipe for ricotta cheese ice cream...is simply exquisite!!
For this ice gream I use very fresh ingredients, ricotta cheese and cream that I take from a near dairy, this is very important to get a perfect ice cream!

Here is the recipe:
You need
Ricotta cheese 14 ounce (400g)
Cream 8,8 ounce (250g)
Sugar 6,5 ounce (180g)
Ice cream maker

In a bowl put ricotta cheese and cream and mix well.

Add sugar and stir very well, no lumps should remain, the mixture should be quite liquid.
Now you can put it in your ice cream maker, will be ready in about half an hour.

It's wonderful with fruits, is delicious with raspberries!
Enjoy your ice cream!!

My experience as a wedding planner: "Sex and the city" decorations for centerpiece

I 'm creating all the decorations for a movie theme wedding that will be celebrated on June 30.
My idea is to make wooden hand painted shapes inspired to bride and groom favourite movies, attack sticks and insert them in the flower centerpieces on each table.
I drew the shapes in pencil on wood and I cut them.
I painted the shapes with white acrylic plaster to create a suitable base for painting.
Here are some shapes inspired to four different movies:

You will understand later what movies are! :) Or maybe you already knew!

The first shapes I have prepared are for the movie "Sex and the city" for the table of bride's friends from university.

I painted the cosmopolitan cocktail and the "Manolo Blahnik Something Blue"!
I will insert them in the flower centerpieces made of purple and white roses.

I painted also the back of each shapes:

See you soon with other movies!

My experience as a wedding planner: list of bride and groom favourite movies

I
am looking at the list of movies for the wedding I'm going to organize in June
(as I talked in my previous post : http://perlillapets.blogspot.it/2012/04/my-experience-as-wedding-planner-real.html).

Wedding theme is cinema, so every table of the wedding dinner will represent a movie, here are bride's favourite ones:

- Gone with the wind by Victor Fleming
This is her favourite movie, so we will use it for the bride and groom table!

- The color purple by Steven Spielberg

- The pursuit of happiness by Gabriele Muccino

- Pretty woman by Garry Marshall

- Sex and the city by Michael Patrick King
This is the perfect movie for the table for her friends from university

- Back to the Future by Robert Zemeckis
This is a very important movie of her childhood, so we will use it for the table of her best friends, I'm thinking of building a model of Back to the Future DeLorean! (Maybe decorated like the bride and groom car!!)

- Far and Away by Ron Howard

-Titanic by James Cameron

Here are groom's favourite movies:

- Kill Bill by Quentin Tarantino

- Modern Times by Charles Chaplin

- 2001 Space Odissey by Stanley Kubrik

- The Gladiator by Ridley Scott

- Pulp Fiction by Quentin Tarantino

- Stand by me by Rob Reiner

- The Untouchables by Brian De Palma

- Blade Runner by Ridley Scott

- The Departed by Martin Scorsese

- The Shawshank Redemption by Frank Darabont

Now I am going to draw some sketches for the decorations inspired by these films, I have lots of ideas!
I'll show you them soon :)

Wedding theme is cinema!!

All favourite movies of this couple will be part of the ceremony, all movies that have important meanings for them, that remind them of special moments in their lives.

For this couple I will realize all the flower centerpieces for their 18 tables for 10 people with decorations inspired by their favourite movies, the wedding seating chart and of course the cake topper!

The idea is that every table will represent a movie, they gave me the list of their favourite ones.

Tutorial: an eggs garden for Easter!

A friend of mine asked me an idea to put on the table, in a creative way, hard-boiled eggs for Easter.
I watched eggs shells and I thought they have the same color of terracotta pots, so I decided to turn them into cute little vases of flowers.
