My New Year Favorite Food/ Sandwich cake & yummies

CHEERS & HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

It's time again for the last big party of one more year, the good bye of the past year and the welcome of the New Year! Symbolic and grandiose with all the rituals that's created around the big event. 

And we need to have rituals and mark occasions which can help us to make a closure to what we need to leave behind which no longer serve our goals and start with new spirit, fresh mind, renewed strength, knowing that we do have all the possibilities to make true what ever we want to achieve. 

Over to food for the New Years Eve, it's always a couple of foods I don't want to be without at the time and that is cured or smoked salmon, preferably both  and shrimps.  I love buffet as it makes it possible for me to gather and have fun with guests, and this food is perfect for that. I  serve either on trails on salad leafs decorated with dill and lemon slices, how easy isn't that or I make shrimp salad and seafood sandwich cake. I can tell you I'm  a queen in making sandwich cakes and decorate them they are delicious feast food and a sandwich cake is a most have in my New Years party! :)

Enough talking, I will share this ideas with you that I found to be best and hope you will love them. The shrimp salad/cocktail have an Asian touch with lime, mango and coriander and can be served as here in cocktail glasses for a more festive feeling.

Tip

The crayfish can be exchanged with shrimps and the cake is more flavorful when made the day before but do the garnish just a few hours before serving to keep a fresh look. 

You can easy make twice the size, just double and place the bread slices straight and create a square or rectangular shape!
