Petit gateaux are a recent love of mine, but one that goes way back to when I started making entremets. They don’t always intertwine, but petit gateaux are surely just as complex and need just as much attention as any entremet or cake does. And I guess that is the reason why I love making…

{Dulcey Cherry Choux} – Choux cu ciocolata si cirese
If a few years ago I was labeling myself as a true chocoholic, it has come the time to admit that I am over chocolate. I no longer seek it, I no longer want to use it in desserts as much as I used to. Chocolate bonbons are the exception that confirm the (new) rule!…
{Chocolate Cherry Cake} – Tort cu cirese si ciocolata
If you asked me a few years ago about buttercream, I would have said I hate it, even though I always loved butter on toast or butter on everything. I just felt like buttercream was this sweet, dense, tasteless mess that didn’t go well with cakes in my mind at that time. But here I…
{Pistachio Cherry Cheesecake Tart} – Cheesecake cu fistic si cirese
I’m well behind with recipe posts – I must be having about 3 more recipes queued to be published. I just lack the time to finish editing them just yet, being involved in so many offline projects that I hardly have time for anything else. But I’m here and not going anywhere, always here to…

Nothing out of the ordinary till here, but then the cookie is glazed with a simple…
{Cherry Chocolate Scones} – Scones cu cirese
Cherries are in full season here – red, pink, white, dark red, all sorts of colors are available. My favorites are the Amarena cherries, dark and slightly bitter, with plenty of flesh and juice, the kind of cherries that stain your fingertips and clothes… stains that bring many childhood memories back, the kind of stains…
{Sour Cherry White Cake} – Prajitura cu albusuri si visine
ENGLISH! I always end up with stacks of egg whites in my freezer and to be honest, until now I didn’t have a recipe to use them as efficiently as this one. Egg whites tend to dry out a cake, but it’s not the case with this recipe. The butter makes the cake rich and…
{Donauwellen Kuchen} – Danube Waves Cake – Prajitura Valurile Dunarii
Doua lucruri carora nu le pot rezista in materie de dulciuri… primul e, evident, ciocolata pe care o folosesc de cate ori am ocazia caci e atat de versatila.. al doilea este reprezentat de visine, in cel mai rau caz cirese, desi acestea din urma palesc in fata acelor visine frumoase, dulci acrisoare… Prin urmare…
