Baptism - another reason for food and family

Today I attended the baptism of my boyfriend’s niece, Nicole. During the days prior to the event, his house had been practically turned into a bakery as his mother had decided to prepare all of the sweets herself, including the Italian classic (and my personal favorite) tiramisù.

Friends and family gathered after the ceremony to enjoy pizza, supplì (basically a fried ball of rice, tomato sauce and cheese) and the homemade treats. It was quite tiring, however, because Italians always salute one another with a kiss on each cheek – and when dealing with a big family, that’s a lot of kisses to go around!
