those lilies had dropped off the main bouquet and so I just threw them onto the table!
dessert this year was firni. this is similar to kheer but is made with ground rice.
the other dessert was a chocolate orange cheesecake.
the cheesecake was still on its base and was sliding around the cake stand so we ended up using blu tack to help it stick down better!
this was a no-bake cheesecake and I used this recipe.
next time, I won't put the melted chocolate on top as it ended up hardening and making the cheesecake really difficult to slice.
other than that, I'm really happy with how the cheesecake turned out. I even managed to hide the wonky side!
sliced!
I hope you also had a very tasty Eid!
And, looked just as good as this little niece of mine!
