Candy bar e o tema foarte actuala si mereu provocatoare, mai ales atunci cand iti doresti sa introduci cat mai multe elemente diferite, dar sa te si incadrezi in doua zile. Motiv pentru care am incercat de aceasta data sa cuprind doar elemente cu dificultate mai mare si am lasat deoparte deserturi mai simple pe…
Deserturi
Croquembouche
French pastry is the ultimate way of making desserts! And it’s not just me saying it! The thing with French pastry though is not only that it produces great desserts, but also the fact that learning a certain technique can prove useful later on or it can lead the way to another great technique. I do…
{Chouquettes}
Let’s put it this way: there are techniques that I love and techniques that I like, things that I do to improve my skills and things that I do out of pure passion. Pastry can be both fun and difficult at the same time, it can push your limits or make you do the same…
{Blood Orange Upside Down Cake} – Tort intors cu portocale rosii
There are days when I love working on a dessert for hours, like entremets, and there are days when I simply can’t think of anything too complicated and I just want to whip up something really quick to go with a cup of tea. And this was one of those days – gloomy and somehow…
{Top 10 Chocolate Desserts} – Top 10 deserturi cu ciocolata
Warning: don’t read this post if you’re hungry! It damages your sweet tooth! I have never hidden my love for chocolate. I like using it in my desserts, either as part of the filling or as a decoration, I like eating chocolate desserts, I like admiring them. But I think it’s the same with every pastry chef…
{Lemon Poppy Seed Bundt Cake} – Chec cu lamaie si mac
The combination of lemon and poppy seeds never ceases to amaze me. You’ve seen it in my birthday cake as well and be sure that you’ll see in the future again too. I love bold flavors, but the tangy one is definitely on top of my list – however, in this particular recipe tangy is…
{Carrot Cake Plated Dessert} – Tort cu morcovi – reinterpretare
Plated desserts are a hidden passion of mine which sadly I haven’t had the time to properly learn and master, but I’m getting there slowly because there is something about these desserts that mesmerize me. It’s beyond the passion I have for entremets and I do find plated desserts to be more challenging – usually…
{Homemade Raffaello Truffles} – Bomboane Raffaello
Coconut is one of my favorite flavors. I find it easy to combine with most ingredients, from chocolate to berries, mango, lime or any other fruit. It’s delicate, but fragrant enough to catch ones attention in any dessert so it gives me plenty of options when creating a dessert. But these Raffaello truffles are a…
{White Chocolate Passion Fruit Entremet} – Tort cu mousse de ciocolata alba si fructul pasiunii
I’ve been planning these beautiful cakes for a week now, adding new ideas day by day. It seems that lately I find the night to be the moment when I’m most inspired and I often get out of bed just to write down an idea so I won’t forget in the morning. That is what…
{Mocha Caramel Entremet} – Entremet cafea si caramel
I really missed making entremets! They sure are my favorite thing to create, bake and assemble so I was more than happy when I managed to put together the idea for this entremet, despite having an awful cold and a mood for sleeping and resting rather than creating and baking. Anyway, this is what I…
{Marbled Loaf Cake}- Chec marmorat
This marbled loaf cake is proper comfort food! And it looks amazing! I’ve made this one a few times now so I can say that you get a great result every single time! It’s not a fancy cake but it’s fluffy and delicious. I used vanilla and orange to flavor this one, but feel free…
{Peanut Butter Swiss Roll} – Rulada cu unt de arahide
Sometimes, when I don’t have the time or mood to create anything new, I go back to old recipes and combine them differently, use other flavors, alter a few bits here and there and end up with a whole new recipe and dessert just using dessert components that I’ve used in the past. I strongly believe that…
