Decoration: Five Ideas To Paint Your Wall

Today I bring you five different ideas to decorate a room using decorative wall paintings. This first one, seen at homeinteriorzone, combines the olive green wall with chocolate color furniture creating a warm mix. The next one uses a teal blue color to establish a clean and soft ambiance. The use of decoration plates in light pink and beige creates a great atmosphere. Seen at myperfectcolor.

Soft beige wall plus the decorative stickers equals light in the room, classic effect with a modern touch. Seen at hometrends.

Modern and chic. This hot pink wall painting is probably the most daring of all the ideas, since you have to be a big pink lover. But if you are not a pink lover, you can still find this idea useful with your favorite color instead. Seen at www.decodir.com

Very classy: white, cream and black.

Strawberry Recipe With Meringue

Here´s a delicious recipe that I wanted to share with you: Strawberry Cake.

Ingredients
517 g yellow cake mix
315 ml orange juice
4 eggs, separated
3 g grated orange peel
0.8 g cream of tartar
250 g sugar, divided
475 ml whipping cream
715 g fresh strawberries, divided


Directions
In a mixing bowl, combine cake mix, orange juice, egg yolks and orange peel. Beat for 4 minutes. Pour into two greased and floured baking pans; set aside. In a mixing bowl, beat egg whites and cream of tartar on medium until foamy. Gradually beat in 1 cup sugar, a tablespoon at a time, on high until stiff glossy peaks form and sugar is dissolved. Spread the meringue evenly over cake batter. Bake at 176 ºC for 35 minutes or until meringue is lightly browned. Cool in pans on wire racks (meringue will crack).
Beat cream until stiff peaks form.
Mash 1/2 cup of strawberries with remaining sugar; fold into whipped cream. Loosen edges of cakes from pans with a knife. Using two large spatulas, carefully remove one cake to a serving platter, meringue side up. Carefully spread with about two-thirds of the cream mixture. Slice the remaining berries; arrange half over cream mixture. Repeat layers. Store in the refrigerator.
