Backyard Party - Scandinavian Style

A few days ago we had a campfire in the backyard. We cooked our food over the open flame and had a really good time. The kids had a blast making s'mores and popcorn!

 

My friend brought over some fresh raspberries from her garden and we made a traditional layer cake with fresh berries and custard and topped with wipped cream. It was fun to decorate the cake - all the flowers and leaves were fresh - and completly edible!

Did you ever cook your own food over an open fire? Any tips or favorite recipies to share?
