My dessert or cake trials start like an adventure. I often try out recipes that taste wise come close to my favorite flavours (caramel, praline, pistachio, citrus fruits or other fresh fruits, chocolate), but more often my trials involve ingredients (or techniques) that I haven’t tried before. To me, this kind of tests are what…

{Pistachio Raspberry Tartelettes} – Tarte cu fistic si zmeura
Truth is that the last couple of weeks, if not months, have been so so intense with classes and masterclasses and so much recipe research and tasting. Not that I am complaining as it’s been so fun and delightful! It’s like a dream job – making desserts and teaching people – it’s like living my…
Workshop Macarons
Mi-a fost multa vreme teama de macarons. Recunosc ca tehnica in sine imi dadea fiori pe sira spinarii. Poate si pentru ca mult timp am plecat urechea la miturile si zvonurile care plutesc in jurul lor si am crezut ca sunt greu de facut, ca daca ploua nu vor iesi, ca daca… ca daca… Multe…
{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…
{Momofuku Style Basil Raspberry Cake} – Tort Momofuku cu busuioc si zmeura
It’s no secret that I have fallen deeply in love with these Momofuku cakes. I have collected many of Christina Tosi’s recipes on my blog and loved each and every one of them. I do however think they have one flaw – too much sugar for my sweet tooth. Therefore I have started to alter…
{Double Chocolate Raspberry Brownies} – Brownies cu ciocolata si zmeura
Hey there, my dear chocoholics! This recipe is for you! These double chocolate raspberry brownies have more chocolate than you can think of and just a touch of raspberry for that kick the berries add to pretty much any recipe. They look beautiful and they taste even better! So gooey and flavorful, packed with chocolate…
{Raspberry Rose Savarin} – Savarina cu trandafir si zmeura
I have developed a passion for French pastry lately, more precisely for baba au rhum and savarin. Needless to say why! These syrupy desserts are so versatile and so delicious! And they just fit my motto: go for a creamy texture or go home! I have tried a few various versions lately, but this rose raspberry…
{Raspberry Pistachio Tartlets} – Mini tarte cu zmeura si fistic
Oh my, pistachio has become my weakness! Much like Superman’s kryptonite, except that I get stronger in its presence, I love it, I seek it, I enjoy working with it, I love its color and delicate flavor. And I believe that combined with raspberry, it becomes one of the best flavor combos there is! So…
{Basil Raspberry Macarons} – Macarons cu busuioc si zmeura
Hold your seats tight as here comes the very first recipe of macarons on Pastry Workshop! It took me a while to finally have the guts to dive into the world of macarons a little bit more. I used to find macarons quite bland and too sweet, not something I wanted to taste too often….
{Pistachio Raspberry Entremet} – Entremet cu fistic si zmeura
Whenever I can get my hands on the brilliant Silikomart silicone molds I’m in heaven. Now, to be totally honest, buying baking equipment is addictive and not the cheapest hobby of them all. I’m really trying to hold back on it and only buy what I need, whenever I need it, making sure it’s something…
{Rose Velvet Bundt Cakes} – Mini Guguluf cu trandafir si zmeura
I just want to dedicate this post to past and future loves, to memories and broken bits of soul, to those people who build you up or those who take you down, to those of you who fight for their love or those who go on separate ways, to those who care for others more…
{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…
