It’s cheesecake week here at Pastry Workshop’s headquarters! Following the delicious ginger pear cheesecake, here comes this intense, bright, earthy pistachio cheesecake. If there’s one ingredient that sweeps me off my feet every single time, that would be pistachio. Its taste and aroma are truly unique and they somehow cheer me up no matter what…
Crema de branza
{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…
{Funfetti Buttermilk Cake} – Tort cu bombonele colorate
Funfetti is a whole new experience for me. It’s been a few years since I started baking, but never really gave funfetti a chance until a few days ago. Don’t get me wrong, I do love sprinkles, but they’re not suited for every cake or dessert and there was a time when you could literally…
{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…
{Raspberry Mascarpone Choux a la Creme} – Choux cu mascarpone si zmeura
Derulati in jos pentru limba romana! In my latest post, we took a dive right into choux pastry and tips and tricks on making choux and eclairs. It was a rather informational post, one aimed to introduce you to the world of choux pastry and its endless possibilities. So I thought it was maybe time to actually…
{Momofuku Apple Pie Cake} – Tort cu mere si cidru
I believe Momofuku Milk Bar needs no introduction! Supported and run by Christina Tosi, the new Masterchef judge, the Milk Bar has known a burst of success over the last couple of years and its recipes have been labeled as complex and difficult to master. But I took this as a challenge and commited myself…
Cheesecake japonez si un concurs pentru voi

{No Bake Peach Cheesecake} – Cheesecake fara coacere
Truth to be told, as much as I love baking, when it’s as hot as these days, turning the oven on is the last thing on my mind. Dessert however is one of my priorities, therefore I look for no bake alternatives. That’s how I ended up making this no bake peach cheesecake- that and…
{Raspberry Cheesecake Bars} – Prajitura cu branza si zmeura
I hate throwing away leftover ingredients, therefore sometimes, like today, a baking day starts with scouting the fridge and my magic cupboard (aka the place where I keep all the ingredients that aren’t at risk of going stall if not kept at a certain temperature) and coming up with a recipe to use all those ingredients….
{Ricotta Pancakes} – Clatite americane cu branza
I suppose it’s been all about easy baking the last couple of weeks. It started with the Fudgy Chocolate Loaf Cake and now these ricotta pancakes. My son was quite excited about these pancakes – he’s been asking me to make some for weeks now and I finally managed to do so. And he loved…
{Strawberry Blood Orange Cake} – Tort cu portocale rosii si capsune
If you asked me years ago about Valentine’s Day, I would have said I hate it, it’s too commercial bla bla bla, but years have gone by and I realized that we need more and more days that celebrate love in any way, whether we call it V-Day or some other way, just let them…
{Chocolate Mousse Cheesecake} – Cheesecake cu mousse de ciocolata
!! Scroll down for English. Cheesecake-ul asta a fost o adevarata surpriza. Incredibil de cremos si atat de bun ca ne-am batut pe ultima felie. Combinatia dintre cheesecake-ul vanilat si mousse-ul de ciocolata a fost foarte reusita si l-as repeta oricand, poate si cu alte fructe de sezon, precum visine sau zmeura. Ingrediente: Crusta: 150g…
