1st - Wishiwashi Sashimi placed on Pyroar's mane
Christmas is a time to eat fish (at least according to tradition in Poland), that's why in the morning I went to the pond and after 2 hours of hiding in calamus I fished out Wishiwashi without which the Christmas table wouldn't be the same. Returning from a successful catch, I snuck into the Pyroar lair, on tiptoe, I quietly approached the sleeping lion and cut a lock of hair from its mane. The fish should be cleaned, fillet and cut into 2 cm strips. Heat the oil in the pan, and when it reaches the right temperature, throw in the previously collected lion's mane and fry until it's crispy, then take it out on paper towels to get rid of excess fat and season it to your taste. Put the peel of the green cucumber on the prepared plate (Don't give it to Wiktor, because he won't eat it anyway), fried pyroar mane on Wishiwashi's head, which shows everyone at the table a successful catch, and on cucumber peel strips of our fillet. As additions, Soy Sauce or freshly grated horseradish works great.

2nd -The Rice Band
Music cannot be missing at the Christmas table! and who would sing for us prettier than cute Jigglypuffs? I will tell you that not only their voices are sweet, after the performance you should run around the house as a fun and catch all the creatures and eat them with relish. They hide a real delight inside.
100g of white rice
2g of red dye
100g of fresh Lychee
400 ml of coconut milk
1 strawberry jelly
a bit of colored sugar mass for decoration
Rinse the rice thoroughly, then soak it in red dye. While the rice is soaking, peel and finely chop the Lychee. Put the soaked Rice into a pot, pour coconut milk, add Lychee and cook until the rice is soft. In a separate container, mix the jelly with boiling water, when it dissolves, add it to the rice and blend the whole thing until a smooth consistency is obtained. Pour the resulting mass into molds and wait until it solidifies in the refrigerator. In the meantime, we prepare decorations and finishes with sugar mass. We combine the whole and let the voice resound.

3rd - Sleeping Poppy Seed Cake:
In Poland, during Christmas, one of the traditional cakes is poppy seed cake, and one of the desserts is noodles with poppy seeds. What if you combine it?
2 tablespoons of honey
1 teaspoon of cinnamon
0.5 teaspoon of vanilla extract
500g of poppy seeds
200g dried fruits and nuts
2 tablespoons of butter
1 roll of puff pastry
6 sheets of pasta for Lasagna
Cook the poppy seeds twice, rinse between the two cooking times, after the poppy seeds are fully cooked, add dried fruits and nuts, honey, cinnamon, vanilla and mix thoroughly. After mixing everything together, add 2 tablespoons of butter and put the whole thing to a large frying pan. Cook over low heat until all ingredients are well combined and form a mass. Cut out the expected shapes from the puff pastry and bake according to the recipe on the package (15min 175 degrees) Put the pasta in a boiling water and cook for about 2 minutes, after cooking put it on paper towels to get rid of excess water. We begin to combine the baked puff pastry with the poppy seed mass and form the body of our dough and the head. We also layer the pasta with mass and wrap it in rolls. All we have to do now is to put it all together.

(sorry that snorlax is not so pretty, but I was focusing on the taste and not the appearance, even though I know that here rather everyone looks only at the appearance)

"Christmas frolics" - cake made by Oxygenz.
"Pikachu! Next time try to dodge my snowballs haha, said Squirtle"
"Charmander, don't light up this firework wait for everyone!"
"Who put staryu on the tree?! BULBASAUR??!!"

Ingredients for one sponge cake(you need 2 of them to make this cake):

6 eggs

250g of flour

6g of baking soda

pinch of salt

200g of granulated sugar


Raspberry-lemon fruseline:

200g of frozen raspberries

30ml of lemon juice

50g of granulated sugar

50ml of water

5g of gelatine

Mascarpone-oreo cream:

150ml of heavy cream (30% fat contents)

250g of mascarpone cheese

50g of powdered sugar

16 oreo cookies

Fondant/sugar paste

1kg of powdered sugar

100g of food grade glucose

15g of gelatine

70g of cold water

food colorings

Amaretto with coffee to moisten your sponges:

150ml of amaretto

150ml of water

60ml of espresso or instant coffee

Making sponge cake:

Split egg whites and yolks to separate bowls. Mix egg yolks with sugar and baking soda until frothy then add flour. Beat egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff mass then gently add to egg-yolk mixture using spoon (not using mixer cuz your sponge cake will be flat).

Pour it into your baking tray and put into preheated oven to 180 celsius. Bake for 25-30 min. After 15 min check every 5 min if cake isn't burned (happend to me lol).

Making oreo-mascarpone cream:

Make sure mascarpone and heavy cream are well chilled before making frosting. Pour heavy cream into the bowl and mix it a little bit with stand mixer. Then add mascarpone cheese and powdered sugar. Whip till cream is quite stiff. (But do not overwork it – cream may curdle). Add crushed oreo cookies and mix for another 30 sec.

Making raspberry-lemon fruseline:

Put into the pot: raspberries, lemon juice, 50ml of water and sugar. Boil it and turn off the heat. Add 5g of gelatine and mix it. Set it aside and let it chill.

Making fondant:

Put all ingredients into the bowl except water. Mix dry ingredients and start adding water little by little. When the fondant looks like wet sand stop adding water. Knead the sugar paste for few minutes and put it into fridge.


Assembling the cake:

Cut one sponge cake in half(horizontally). Put one half on prepared tray or something flat. Using spoon spread 1/3 of amaretto-espresso mixture evenly on sponge. Then spread oreo-mascarpone cream and put 2nd layer of sponge cake. Repreat process of moinstening your cake (wink wink). Spread raspberry fruseline on top and cover it with 3rd and final sponge cake layer. Moisten that layer too. Roll sugar paste till quite thin and cover your cake. If u don’t have sugar paste u can prepare some coconut frosting. Optionally u can sprinkle cake with coconut flakes.
If u have too much of free time u can make some pokemon figurines from sugar paste.
