Hello everybody, how was your memorial day weekend? We had a lot of fun by hitting the beach for the first time this year in Long Branch, NJ, have you ever been there? If no, you should definitely visit this place, the beach is clean, the boardwalk is very nice and on Ocean Boulevard they have a lot of nice restaurants which serve delicious food, and desserts, like frozen chocolate, gelato, pastries and smoothies! We packed our bikes, and drove one hour South to enjoy the warm weather, relax a little and listen to the waves. Once there, we biked for one hour by the amazing mansions situated on the shore!
We had a very nice lunch, a fish burrito with brown rice for him:
A fish taco with mango salsa and avocado for me:
We were back home by 6PM and spotted these guys by our building, aren’t they cute?
The dessert was waiting for us in the fridge! I made a layered crepe cake with lots of pastry cream and topped with blackberries!! If you love crepes, and you can eat pastry creme by spoon, then this is a cake that you will definitely enjoy! It is soft, and sweet and it just melts in your mouth!
To make the crepes I used my fool proof crepe recipe & for the cream I used this recipe that I have posted last week. Once the crepes and the cream is ready, let the crepes cool at room temperature, same applies to the pastry cream. Once the cream has cooled, refrigerate it for at least one hour. On a round plate layer two crepes and cover in an even layer of pastry cream, repeat until there are no more crepes left. refrigerate the cake for one hour before serving! If you still have leftover cream, grab a spoon and finish it!
Enjoy,
Catalina
beautiful goose, and healthy food! keep it up Girl!
Thanks, Alvina!
This picture is totally gorgeous … So gooey and decadent! What are those pearl-y things, Catalina?
Those are edible pearls, you can find them at the grocery store in the baking section.
They’re just beautiful and really add to the presentation.
That is so weird, we were planning on going to Long Branch on Sat.. I swear and then I had cramps
and so I wasn’t in the mood.. so we stayed in and watched a movie. I love Long Branch, a little more upscale than other beaches and so CLEAN.
Yes, that is totally what I love about Long Branch, couldn’t say it better!
I had cramps too, but figured that some fresh air will make me feel better, and it did! 
That dessert is ALMOST too pretty to eat, but it looks (and I bet tastes) incredible. Looks like a really fun weekend!
Thanks Cara!
I feel like my entire blog roll had tacos for dinner last night!
Love it!
Nice to hear you had a wonderful weekend my friend – this dessert looks stunning and I love the blackberry garnish
Cheers

We used to love driving to NJ from Philly to hang out at the shore…our favorite spot was Cape May
That crepe cake looks a perfect thing to eat when coming home from a nice day…your husband is very lucky!
Looks like you had a fun weekend! Those little ducks are so cute!
Cute little ducks, cool to find them in your yard! Your crepe cake does look stunning. I have yet to even attempt one of those, I guess all the layering scares me. However, you sailed through it without a problem. Well done!
The stack of crepes looks like heaven!
these look amazing…the crepes themselves (love those pearls!!) and then the cream…from your previous post. I could just drink that!
Oh my goodness that cake looks ammmazzing. I love crepes but in cake form sounds even more incredible.
Love the geese and goslings! So cute!
Your crepe cake looks really wonderful.
Looks like you had a fantastic weekend, C! The crepes look to die for! Thanks for sharing the recipe.
Crepes are lovely! a crepe cake ? even more so!
I just love crepe cakes. They’re such a labor of love.
What an amazing crepe cake! I would love one large slice now.
All I can say to that crepe dessert is “ooohhh la la”.
