{Spiced Pear Muffins} – Muffins cu pere
Prior to these spiced pear muffins (and my most reliable recipe ever – blueberry muffins), I thought muffins rarely deserve to be baked not because they weren’t delicious, but because there are other baked goodies out there that taste much better.

{Streusel Apple Muffins} – Muffins cu mere si topping crocant
I enjoy this time of the year – apples, pears, grapes and plenty of vegetables are such a great view at the market. But there’s two particular kind of fruits that I love from all of that: ripe, juicy pears and green apples. They both taste amazing and I use plenty of them in my baking…

Chocolate and cherries come together into these moist, fragrant, loaded-with-chocolate cupcakes!

Si asa au aparut cupcakes-urile astea moi, pufoase si absolut delicioase. Ingrediente: Cupcakes: 200g…

Scroll down for English! Cred ca e a doua reteta de cupcakes cu ciocolata de pe Pastry Workshop si asta pentru ca nu-mi place sa fac aceeasi reteta de mai mult ori, asa ca atunci cand am chef si timp, prefer sa incerc retete noi sau sa le modific pe cele vechi. Si reteta asta…
{Carrot Muffins} – Muffins cu morcov si nuci
ENGLISH! I consider myself quite adventurous when it comes to baking, but for some reason it took me a while to convince myself to make these carrot muffins. Traditionally, we don’t quite use carrots in desserts. But now that I made them, I can say that I actually like the flavors. The cinnamon is probably…
