Summer Salute: Tea Time at Jyväskylä Birthday Party

August 2015 in Jyväskylä, Finland

While many Finns complain that summer in Finland 2015 arrives outrageously late, rainy-sunny climate surprisingly brings the great harvest of berries: blue, rasp, straw or cloud, all you can pick and eat at bushy lands in Jyväskylä.

Jyväskylä always means good food and lovely family to me. Our Finnish-Japanese frineds’ daughter has her birthday celebration on August 23rd, so we decide to make it as a Marimekko Deco tea party: homemade cheese cake, Muumin cookies, gummy bears lollipops. One of the most interesting summer treat at the party is sweet watermelon pie, and it’s super easy to prepare before the candle blowing:


1. Cut a round shape watermelon into cross section, then 2-3 thin layers, and divide each layer equally into six slices.

2. Squeeze chocolate cream/milky cream on the layer, dazzle the fresh-picked blueberries, raspberries, red currents and mango dries as sweet party snacks.

Served as 12-persons, every 100 grams of watermelon contains 0.2 fats, fiber 0,4 0.6 protein, Carbonate 7.6, Vitamin C 8.1 and water 91 grams.
Enjoy the summer!
