If there is anything in this world that cannot go wrong when it comes to desserts, that must certainly be chocolate cake! No matter the shape, the size or the decor, chocolate cake is a fan favorite. But it can also be boring, therefore my proposal for today is this chocolate speculoos cake with a…

{Momofuku Banana Hazelnut Cake} – Tort cu alune de padure si banane (P)
You guys know how much I like Momofuku desserts by now. There’s plenty of Cristina Tosi’s recipe on my blog, some of them similar to this Momofuku banana hazelnut cake in terms of construction and layering! I do love how straight forward Cristina is with her Momofuku concept, how she found her own path, her…
{Pear Chocolate Entremet} – Entremet cu pere si ciocolata
Pears are so delicate! I guess that is why I love them so much! No matter how you cook them, they are tasty, texturised and have a gorgeous color as well. However, they need to be paired with ingredients that can make them shine, otherwise the risk to overpower them is really high. I find…
Workshop Entremets – Octombrie 2018
Timpul zboara, asta-i clar! A trecut si Hans Ovando Masterclass, ne apropiem de Diego Lozano – Introducere in Ciocolaterie, dar vreau neaparat sa va arat la ce am muncit noi timp de trei zile saptamana trecuta in cadrul acestui workshop entremets (18/19/20 octombrie), caci a fost un curs extraordinar cu o mana de cursanti voiosi…
{Black Sesame Entremet} – Entremet cu susan negru
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…
Festive Entremets – workshop decembrie 2017
Festive Entremets este atelierul ce a incheiat seria oficiala de cursuri a acestui an, un an excelent de altfel, un an al schimbarilor, al progresului si imbunatatirilor, un an in care am crescut impreuna, in care ne-am dorit mai mult si am implinit vise, fie proprii, fie ale celor din jur. Asa incat acest workshop…
{Lemon Basil Entremet} – Entremet cu lamaie si busuioc
There’s no secret that I love basil in desserts! These basil macarons and basil mousse cake should have give you the hint by now! But really! The aroma of basil in a dessert is something that tingles my senses just by thinking of it! And it works so well with citrus fruits and berries! It’s…
{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…
{Coffee Banana Entremet} – Entremet cu banane si cafea
This year’s Christmas has been lovely. Plenty of time spent with my family, good food, positive thoughts and over all a good energy for the year that will soon be done. But of course I couldn’t let Christmas go away without making a cake – well, actually two, but the second one is reserved for…
{Basil Strawberry Entremet} – Entremet cu busuioc si capsune
I’m not a person to be easily impressed by a dessert – I’ve made and tasted so many over the last couple of years that my taste buds are familiar to most tastes. But from time to time here comes a dessert that shakes me down and sets my world straight, leaving me thinking that…
{Mango Kalamansi Entremet} – Entremet cu mango si kalamansi
I’ve lost count on how many mango or kalamansi recipes I posted on the blog – but what can I do, they do taste amazing! And they make such a delicious flavor combo! The delicate mango and bold kalamansi complement each other much like yin and yang. They are just as delicious on their own…
{Momofuku Chocolate Chip Cake} – Tort Momofuku cu picaturi de ciocolata
Once Momofuku, always Momofuku! This seems to be the case with my love for Christina Tosi’s recipes. Every single of her cakes are tantalizing in every possible way. All those gorgeous layers, those luscious sponge cakes and icings, all the different textures and colors are inspiring. Oh did I mention the great, addictive taste?! I’ve…
