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…

Brownies are delicious, no surprise there! But how about blondies? Have you ever tried a gooey, rich, moist piece of chocolate chip tahini blondies? I can surely say they are surprisingly incredible! Their texture is amazing , but their delicate tahini aroma combined with melted chocolate bits is even better! There’s nothing I would change…

{Gateau au Chocolat} – Cyril Lignac
I’m not always up for exquisite, complex, layered entremets, although I do love a challenge. But my sweet tooth is restless and I’m always looking for recipes that are interesting and defy the techniques I already know. And this is exactly what happened with this cake. I knew from the very first glance on the…
{Rhubarb Olive Oil Cake} – Prajitura cu rubarba si ulei de masline
It’s strawberry and rhubarb season, it’s the time of fresh flavors and delicate tastes, of beautiful colors and sunny days, it’s the season of going to the market to find inspiration. I love this time of the year for its fruits, veggies and herbs, for its great long days, for its walks in the park…
{Gluten-Free Magic Cake} – Prajitura magica fara gluten
I’ve recently been invited to take part in a lovely campaing that focuses on special diets, such as gluten-free, grain-free or lactose-free and I said “yes”. I’ve been playing with the idea of gluten-free cakes lately so this campaign came at the right time. This post is one of the many recipes coming up as…
{Vanilla Cake Pops} – Cake pops cu vanilie
I believe that cake pops, just as macarons, were a trend at some point when you could see them everywhere, from blogs to food sites and facebook or instagram. As usual, I’m late to the party and only dared (or took the time) to make them now. But boy, it was fun! So much fun…
{Ginger Chocolate Petit Fours} – Petit fours cu ghimbir
As much as I love this time of the year, I can’t help but feel a bit nostalgic. This year has gone way too fast with its ups and downs and I’m wondering what next year will bring. I have a few baking plans for the year to come and I hope to keep bringing…
{White Chocolate and Caramel Cheesecake} – Cheesecake cu ciocolata alba si sos caramel
After a chocolate mousse cheesecake, double chocolate cheesecake and coffee cheesecake, here is a new cheesecake recipe – white chocolate cheesecake with amaretto caramel sauce. A creamy white chocolate cheesecake with a boozy caramel sauce – so delicious and rich! What I love about cheesecakes it’s their versatility. You can make them usijg fruits, chocolate, nuts, dried fruits, pretty much…
{Lemon Bundt Cake} – Chec cu lamaie
Scroll down for English! De cum am citit reteta asta nu am avut nici cea mai mica indoiala ca e delicioasa. Amidonul face checul asta tare pufos si aerat iar aroma de lamaie e minunata. Reteta originala o gasiti aici, cu diferenta ca eu l-am facut intr-o tava de guguluf si am adaugat si putina zeama…
{Bienenstich} – Bee Sting Cake
Scroll down for English! Nu-i asa ca e minunat cand o reteta ascunde o legenda interesanta in spate? Cam asa se intampla si cu aceasta prajitura. Bienenstich este o prajitura nemteasca ce are la baza un blat cu drojdie si este umpluta cu o crema de vanilie. Insa atractia principala a prajiturii pare a fi toppingul crocant de migdale caramelizate. Legenda spune ca, in timp ce incerca o reteta noua, un patiser german ar fi fost intepat de o albina ce fusese atrasa de toppingul cu miere al prajiturii, iar el s-a hotarat sa numeasca prajitura dupa nefericitul eveniment. Oricare ar fi adevarul, prajitura e absolut minunata: pufoasa, cremoasa si totusi crocanta, usor caramelizata. Merita o sansa, va asigur ca nu veti regreta. (Adaptata dupa Smitten Kitchen) Ingrediente blat: 12g drojdie proaspata 150ml lapte 60g zahar 280g faina…
{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…
