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…
{Matcha Fraisier} – Fraisier cu ceai verde
Fraisier is a cake that needs no introduction! It’s delicate look, its amazing and fresh taste, it’s gorgeous colors – everything recommends it for a summer dessert! Especially since in the summer we find all these gorgeous berries easier than any other season! I’ve avoided this cake for far too long and when I finally…
Concurs #pastryworkshop
Sa tot fie o luna de cand ma bate gandul unui concurs pe blog – un concurs pentru toti cei care ma citesc, pentru toti cei care isi doresc o provocare si pentru cei carora premiul le face ochi dulci. In ziua in care am atins 5000 de prieteni pe pagina de Facebook a blogului,…
{Entremet cu ciocolata si kalamansi}
Cei mai bine de doi ani (doi ani deja?!) de blogging m-au pus fata in fata cu multe provocari in ceea ce priveste bucataria ori cofetaria. A inceput cu Adi si al lui internship (apropo, s-a deschis un post de intern asa ca eu zic sa va inscrieti!) si a continuat cu o multime de…
{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…
