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…
{White Tiramisu} – Tiramisu alb
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. Given the fact that traditional tiramisu contains coffee and this one does not, a question arises – is it still tiramisu or…
Top 10 Must Have Tools for a Pastry Chef – 10 ustensile necesare unui cofetar
Although having the right tools is not the essence of being a pastry chef, it can surely help get the job done! So here is a list of what I consider to be the 10 most important tools of a pastry chef!
{Vanilla Flan} – Flan cu vanilie
The end of 2018 and the start of 2019 saw a new trend rising in the pastry world – going back to the roots of pastry, using the best ingredients available and focusing more on quality and not quantity. I saw viennoiserie rise incredibly, but I also saw pastry chefs bringing baking more into their…
{Hazelnut Banana Spread} – Crema de banane si alune de padure
Spreads aren’t really that popular in Romania. Well, maybe except Nutella, but let’s face it – as delicious as this famous spread might be, it is packed with sugar and powdered milk and vegetable oil. And even though I know some of these ingredients are harmless, I for one much rather make my own spread,…
{Quadruple Chocolate Brownies} – Brownies cu ciocolata
Quadruple Chocolate Brownies don’t wear this name by chance – they do consist of 4 types of chocolate: milk chocolate, dark chocolate, white chocolate and gianduja chocolate. If you add to this equation the chocolate used in the actual batter you end up with so much chocolate that only a true chocoholic could handle this…
Happy New Year!
2018 has been one of my best years yet! It has been a time of growing, of meeting new people, of learning from them, of making friends and connecting, of new exciting classes and new challenges to overcome! Thank you for trusting my recipes and my writing, I am extremely humbled by your continuous support!…
{Vanilla Lemon Cake} – Tort cu vanilie si lamaie
2018 started with a brand new trend in the pastry world – number cakes (I named the post vanilla lemon cake as this one is not actually a number, but the recipe applies to any number or letter cake as long as you have the right cutters). I am sure you’ve seen them before –…
{Chocolate Speculoos Cake} – Tort cu ciocolata si speculoos
If there is anything in this world that cannot go wrong when it comes to desserts, that must certainly be chocolate cake! No matter the shape, the size or the decor, chocolate cake is a fan favorite. But it can also be boring, therefore my proposal for today is this chocolate speculoos cake with a…
{Pesto Bread} – Paine cu pesto (P)
Sometimes a simple bread is all you need to reset yourself. Bread is strongly connected with my core since my childhood memories see my grandmother making bread at least once a week. She had this huge clay oven and she made bread and braided small loaves for the kids. She always said: “don’t be afraid…
