{Eggless Chocolate Ice Cream} – Inghetata de ciocolata
Summer hit us hard! 36C in quite the heat, isn’t it?! We went straight to often showers, salads for breakfast, lunch and dinner, tomatoes, cheese, watermelon, plenty of lemonade and a lot of … yes, you guessed it, ice cream! But not the store bought kind! I vowed to myself to make my own ice…
{Basil Raspberry Macarons} – Macarons cu busuioc si zmeura
Hold your seats tight as here comes the very first recipe of macarons on Pastry Workshop! It took me a while to finally have the guts to dive into the world of macarons a little bit more. I used to find macarons quite bland and too sweet, not something I wanted to taste too often….
{Coconut Lime Eclairs} – Eclere cu lime si nuca de cocos
If there is a flavor I can’t live without (except chocolate, of course), it has to be lime. The aroma and the color of these little green beauties is mesmerizing and completely addictive! I always have them in my fruit bowl so whenever I need a hint of freshness, I slice one lime and release…
{Double Chocolate Stout Brownies} – Brownies cu bere neagra
You may have noticed a few trends on my blog, but one of them definitely is using booze in my desserts. And not just any drinks, but the ones that can print a certain earthiness on my desserts, ones that don’t yell “look at me, I’m here”, just those that support the other flavors or…
{Paris-Brest}
I love desserts that have a great sense of history – St. Honore is a great example and it’s already on the blog, but today I’m bringing you another amazing classic – the Paris-Brest. This evergreen dessert is so beautiful and simple at its core that not having a version of it on the blog…

{Baba au Rhum with Jasmine and Raspberry} – Baba cu rom si iasomie
Baba au rhum or savarin are two pastry products that are best sellers in Romania – every pastry store features them in a way or another. I do remember eating them as a kid, they were incredibly sweet and had a cloud of whipped cream on top, decorated with a red jelly – quite appealing…
{Caramel Pear Pavlova} – Pavlova cu pere si caramel
My love for meringues is unimaginable. I know there aren’t many clues of this on my blog, but this is about to change with the arrival of my new electric oven. The way electric ovens works allows me to make, you guessed it, meringues. It was one of the reasons I bought the oven in…
{Raspberry Mascarpone Choux a la Creme} – Choux cu mascarpone si zmeura
Derulati in jos pentru limba romana! In my latest post, we took a dive right into choux pastry and tips and tricks on making choux and eclairs. It was a rather informational post, one aimed to introduce you to the world of choux pastry and its endless possibilities. So I thought it was maybe time to actually…
{Nigella’s Everyday Brownies} – Brownies Nigella
It’s not like I were short of great brownie recipes – I’ve been baking quite a few over the years, the latest being these Coconut Brownies, but then I found Nigella’s recipe and I was intrigued. It’s definitely cheaper than most recipes I’ve baked or seen and it’s done in a very interesting way. I was…
Top 5 Peanut Butter Desserts
Peanut butter is a fairly new ingredient for me. I was able to source it for the first time about 2 years ago, but I loved it from the very start. Since then it seems to have become much easier to find in most supermarkets though. Lucky me that I don’t have to hunt it…
