I wish you all a very Happy New Year for 2013! Have a great time tonight and hope to see you back here next year. In the meantime here are the 5 most read posts from Berry Lovely in 2012.

	5. Raspberry Chocolate Mousse Cake Definitely one of my favorite cakes of this year. The tangy yoghurt mousse, rich chocolate mousse and fruity raspberries make a perfect combination.
	4. Blackberry Coconut Cakes Blackberry and coconut was a new flavor combination for me, but surprisingly tasty. Also worked well for tartlets and ice-pops.
	3. Lemon Celebration Cake A multilayer cake, with a beautiful lemon cream, caramel and mascarpone frosting. A few more steps, but the result is great.
	2. Lemon Muffins A big surprise hit were these easy and fast to make lemon muffins.
	1. Mango Chocolate Mousse Cake Also a favorite of mine. I love chocolate mousse cakes paired with some fruit. Here it was a mango mousse and glaze, with tasted very good. One of the cakes, which I have made another time for Christmas.

Vanilla Kipferl and a Merry Christmas!

Vanilla Kipferl are one of the most traditional Christmas cookies in Germany. You can probably find them at every German household this time of the year. So, this is the perfect cookie to wish you and your families all to enjoy a wonderful Christmas.

Chocolate Mousse - Passion Fruit Cake

Are you still looking for an impressive, but not too difficult cake for Christmas? This could be the one! I made it a few weeks ago, just for me and my husband, in a smaller version. We loved it so much, that I will make it again to bring to our Christmas dinner. For a more Christmas style decoration you can use star cookie cutters in different sizes.

With a little practice this cake is fairly easy to make. You can prepare most of the cake the day before you serve it. Just the chocolate disk is best to put on shortly before serving. To cut the cake it's best to remove the chocolate disk, and cut the cake separately. Then put a piece of the chocolate on each serving.
