Prajitura cu gem este destul de cunoscuta in Romania si a fost in mod cert una din prajiturile copilariei mele. Insa aceasta prajitura se detaseaza de clasica aluat fraged – gem – aluat fraged + nuca, intrucat compozitia include un aluat fraged delicios care se topeste in gura, un strat de gem la alegere si…
Cheesecake Bars with Fruit Compote
I love summer and its fruit varieties. It must be one of the most loved seasons by pastry chefs due to all the colours and flavors available. It’s so easy to get proper flavor in a cake when you have berries available, when you have herbs all over the place. All you have to do…
Blueberry Crumble Muffins
It’s amazing how fruits can inspire a pastry chef! All these colours, all these flavors, the textures – it’s pure heaven for creativity. But at the same time it can easily be exactly the opposite. So this summer I decided to go back to the roots of baking a little bit, discover what fruits have…
Honeycomb Candy
Honeycomb has long fascinated me! For a while it felt like some sort of magic is going on with it and it foams up. I realized soon enough that there is no magic, it’s all chemistry and the reason honeycomb is so airy is the chemical reaction coming from the baking soda. What you are…
Tort Tiramisu
Tiramisu si a sa aroma subtila de cafea mi-a resetat putin ideea de gust de cafea adaugat in deserturi. Nu beau cafea de fel, dar o ador in deserturi, precum acest tort Tiramisu. De altfel, am tot folosit-o pe blog in diverse alte retete, precum Opera, entremet cu cafea si banana sau prajitura cu ciocolata…
Tiramisu Cake
Coffee – I’ve long had a hate relationship with the idea of adding it to desserts. Until Tiramisu happened! That is when I realized that coffee has a huge potential to shine in any dessert, even though it’s difficult to get close to this Tiramisu cake in terms of taste and texture. This recipe has…

Oatmeal Fruit Crumble
Summer is in full swing and I love it! All these fruits and fresh products, all these salads and aromas ready for be infused in desserts! It’s my favorite time of the year for sure! And it’s also the time when I avoid using the oven too much and focus more on desserts that require…
Best Chocolate Chip Cookies
These chocolate chip cookies are not only packed with chocolate, but so moist and delicious that one cookie alone won’t be enough!
Moist Banana Brownies
Brownies might as well become this blog’s signature as there are so many recipes already published, all of them delicious, fitted for every taste! You can choose between these raspberry brownies or these fluffy brownies of Pierre Herme, although if you love moist, gooey brownies, the 4 chocolate brownies might be a better choice. I…

Scoala de Vara este un curs de cofetarie gandit pentru pasionatii de cofetarie, incepatori sau intermediari, oameni care isi doresc sa descopere tainele cofetariei, pornind de la fursecuri la tarte, de la macarons la torturi, de la ceea ce reprezinta baza cofetariei catre produse mai complexe, dar care au in comun un singur lucru –…
Mini tarte cu matcha si zmeura
Continuam aventura cu matcha de la Nevis inceputa in articolul de zilele trecute cu aceste mini tarte cu matcha si zmeura atat de delicate in simplitatea lor. Exteriorul poate nu impresioneaza, insa interiorul iese in evidenta cu siguranta! O coaja nispoasa de pate sucree ce se topeste in gura, un gel de zmeura intens aromatizat…
Matcha Black Sesame Petit-Gateaux
Matcha Black Sesame Petit-Gateaux was not an easy cake to come up with. I had a hard time at first pairing matcha with other flavors, so I started looking for inspiration. Eventually I found Sadaharu Aoki who is a Japanese pastry chef living in France. His shop is known for the mix of Japanese flavors…
Monoportii cu matcha si susan negru
Mi-a fost destul de greu sa combin matcha cu alte arome la inceput, asa ca am inceput sa caut inspiratie si am ajuns la acest om pe care il admir foarte mult – Sadaharu Aoki. De origine japoneza, el traieste acum la Paris si detine o cofetarie ce reuseste sa imbine cu mare succes aromele…
{Pink Pepper Grapefruit Pavlova} – Pavlova cu grapefruit si piper roz
Pavlova is an international dessert, that famous it is! But with good reason as it is a dessert easy to make and can pack a lot of flavor. Moreover, you can make good use of the leftover egg whites or even recycle fruits that no one eats anymore.
Tort cu morcovi si ghimbir
Am cam pierdut sirul numarului de retete de tort cu morcov de pe blog, dar trebuie sa recunosc ca imi place tare mult acest tort cu morcovi si ghimbir si in plus mai e si extrem de versatil! Se combina excelent cu o crema de branza si unt, usor sarata, intens aromatizata, dar ar merge…
Ginger Carrot Cake
Carrot cake may be a classic, but the good thing with classics is that they can easily be revived. So I added plenty of candied ginger into the sponge to make this cake a better version of itself. What you end up with is a moist, aromatic and creamy cake to enjoy!
Tort cu morcovi si ghimbir
Am cam pierdut sirul numarului de retete de tort cu morcov de pe blog, dar trebuie sa recunosc ca imi place tare mult si in plus mai e si extrem de versatil! Se combina excelent cu o crema de branza si unt, usor sarata, intens aromatizata, dar ar merge la fel de bine si cu…
Tiramisu cu rom si lime
Tiramisu nu e ceva ce fac prea des, dar de cate ori fac, mereu ma regasesc departe de reteta traditionala. Pur si simplu se intampla. Recunosc insa ca nu sunt o mare bautoare de cafea, fiind o licoare pe care o consum doar cand sunt extrem de obosita si am nevoie de un boost de…
White Tiramisu with Malibu and lime
Tiramisu is not something I make too often, but when I do, I put some distance between the traditional recipe and me. I don’t have an explanation for it – it just happens. I do love coffee in desserts and I do enjoy a slice of classic Tiramisu once in a while, but I also…
