Birthday Sweets

As a bear naturally MM has sweet teeth. But considering he is rather old for an bear :) , I have to make an effort not to give him so much sweets normally.

But birthday is an exception.

When he was rather small MM's family would eat challah on Friday night and at Saturday lunch time so here I am trying to re-create the bread part.

Luckily the sweet bread turned out very well. In fact it was so good that I forgot to take a picture until half of the loaf was gone...

I didn't have so much luck with my pudding though. I have never had "the proper pudding" not along making it. But I figured there was always a first time. The recipe I got from a very authentic source, aka, MM Mama :), says "put a little milk so that..." I guess that is where I started to struggle. Anyway, as you can tell from the picture, the pudding turned out way too dense and MM refused to give it a second bite :(
