A very special day is approaching, Three Kings Day. It is special for children, because of the gifts that the three wise men will have left them; and special for the family, since there are many who take the opportunity to celebrate that day together. And on that table there will be no shortage of desserts: a traditional roscón de Reyes!

I still remember how surprised I was when a very dear relative came to me with three huge packages. And to my surprise, it was a set that I adored: it was the Mayan Bee cutlery set from WMF. I'm not talking about just anything: a ceramic set with beautiful prints, cutlery of a very good quality of steel and all the pieces of an ideal size for children.

Last week Virginia, author of Sweet&Sour, gave us an introduction to jams and preserves, giving us the differences between jams, preserves and jellies, and explaining how we should go about preparing them.

Carolina, author of the gastronomic blog La Cocina de Carolina, proposes a recipe that will captivate many: some of you will be impatient to prepare it now, and many others will be eager to try it! Whether you are one of the first or the second, enjoy it!

What more appetizing than enjoying seasonal fruits with a delicious cake? Today Eva, author of Bake-Street, brings us a proposal that will encourage you to go out and look for wild fruits and peaches to prepare it. Why yes, this cake is as delicious as it looks!

Making desserts at home is rewarding, as well as delicious and, I must admit, really addictive! Especially when you discover how easy it can be to make recipes as delicious as the one Virginia brings us today, author of Sweet&Sour blog . You will love this chocolate cream dessert.

Since the good weather arrived, Beatriz, author of To Be Gourmet, has enjoyed preparing delicious ice creams. He also enjoys eating them, because natural and freshly made ice creams at home have many advantages, starting with how good they are.

Beatriz, author of the blog To Be Gourmet, brings us a recipe made with a utensil that I really wanted to show you. It is a small ice cream maker that we leave in the freezer to use when we want to make homemade popsicles. Its use is extremely simple: you only need to put the ingredients and in a few minutes the ice creams are ready to eat. Beatriz has prepared on this occasion some delicious ice creams with very natural ingredients. Do you dare to try?

For those of us who like contrasts, we know that the acid flavor of red fruits together with the sweetness of chocolate is an excellent combination. If we put it on a puff pastry base, we will obtain a finger-licking cake. This recipe is the one presented by Carmen, from Yerbabuena in the kitchen, in the post that you will find on her blog.

We talked a few weeks ago about naked cake (if you missed it, be sure to check out the post in which I talked about the return to traditional cake). Then Rosa, author of Pemberley Cup&Cakes, showed us an example of it, a red fruit cake that we loved. In view of the great acceptance, today he brings us another naked cake, which only with its appearance I would bet that you will love it.

A few days ago I told you about the new trend in cakes: the return to traditional cakes or naked cakes. With the success they are having, a recipe could not be missing to encourage you to prepare one.

I have never been a great follower of fashion, and perhaps for this reason I have never made a cake with fondant or cupcakes with coatings or creams that do not taste like anything, despite their success. You will not have seen on the web or recipes or products or material for it. I admit that it is quite an art to make them, but they simply do not go with me. But there is a fashion that I definitely join, and it is the fashion of naked cakes.
