Festive Entremets este atelierul ce a incheiat seria oficiala de cursuri a acestui an, un an excelent de altfel, un an al schimbarilor, al progresului si imbunatatirilor, un an in care am crescut impreuna, in care ne-am dorit mai mult si am implinit vise, fie proprii, fie ale celor din jur. Asa incat acest workshop…
Cakes and Entremets
{Rasperry Opera Cake} – Prajitura Opera cu zmeura
Opera is one of the best cakes I have ever made, one that has a huge success at every class I make it. I have tried a lot of other variations, some were delicious, some I wished were never made. This Berry Opera however, belongs to the first kind – delicious, vibrant, fresh! It’s a…
{Upside Down Banana Pecan Cake} – Tort cu banane si nuci pecan
Somewhere between pastry classes and trying new recipes, between a short vacations and recipe hunting or creating, I fell in love with the intense aroma of deeply ripe bananas. I find them so bright, their flavor is so exotic and yet so familiar, memories coming back from childhood when bananas where rare gems and therefore…
{Sacher Loaf Cake} – Chec Sacher
Needless to introduce you the Sacher cake! It’s chocolatey, it has apricots, it’s moist, packed with taste and just a classic that will never die. Well, this Sacher loaf cake is kinda the same thing, except it comes in the form of a loaf cake which is easier to store and slice, it keeps sealed…
Workshop Entremets 15/16/17 iunie
Imi imaginam acum cativa ani ca voi ajunge sa predau cofetarie?! Nici vorba! Iata-ma insa ani mai tarziu gasindu-mi o forma de manifestare a acestei pasiuni imense pentru cofetarie prin organizarea de cursuri si workshopuri. Fiecare curs e o provocare si il tratez cu maxima seriozitate. Nu cred sa fi fost pana acum doua cursuri…
{Lemon Basil Entremet} – Entremet cu lamaie si busuioc
There’s no secret that I love basil in desserts! These basil macarons and basil mousse cake should have give you the hint by now! But really! The aroma of basil in a dessert is something that tingles my senses just by thinking of it! And it works so well with citrus fruits and berries! It’s…
{Hummingbird Cake} – Tort Hummingbird
My attention lately has shifted from cakes and recipes to actual techniques. I strongly believe that learning the basics and understanding a recipe is far more important than the final result. So my baking has lately turned into experimenting, learning, trying out ingredients and interesting mix of flavors. And oh boy, it is fun! My…
{Infiniment Vanille Cake} – Chec cu vanilie si migdale
Vanilla is the one flavour in the world that has almost the same purpose as salt – to support all the other flavors, to bring them out, it’s the one aroma that plays the role of a cord between them all. Whether it is chocolate or raspberry or matcha or perhaps mango and orange, there’s…
{Caramel Coffee Entremet} – Entremet Caramel si Cafea
This past month has been incredibly busy with classes (you can check out pictures here and here), but here I am finally able to catch up on posting recipes. It’s so refreshing to be able to seat at my desk again and write a post, answer comments and just enjoy this world of blogging at its…
Workshop Entremets 27-28 ianuarie
Cofetaria e un domeniu atat de vast si versatil, incat nu exista doua prajituri la fel! In fiecare zi poti adauga diferite accente de culoare ori un alt decor si obtii un tort nou, ii dai un nou suflu. Tot cam asa nu exista nici doua cursuri la fel. Si ma refer aici la mai…
{Coffee Banana Entremet} – Entremet cu banane si cafea
This year’s Christmas has been lovely. Plenty of time spent with my family, good food, positive thoughts and over all a good energy for the year that will soon be done. But of course I couldn’t let Christmas go away without making a cake – well, actually two, but the second one is reserved for…
{Basil Strawberry Entremet} – Entremet cu busuioc si capsune
I’m not a person to be easily impressed by a dessert – I’ve made and tasted so many over the last couple of years that my taste buds are familiar to most tastes. But from time to time here comes a dessert that shakes me down and sets my world straight, leaving me thinking that…
