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…
Torturi
{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…
{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…
{Chocolate Cherry Cake} – Tort cu cirese si ciocolata
If you asked me a few years ago about buttercream, I would have said I hate it, even though I always loved butter on toast or butter on everything. I just felt like buttercream was this sweet, dense, tasteless mess that didn’t go well with cakes in my mind at that time. But here I…
{Momofuku Pumpkin Pie Cake} – Tort cu dovleac
After two Momofuku cakes and a batch of cookies, it was time to make a third cake, one focusing on a flavor that is trending right now – pumpkin. I’m hooked on Christina Tosi’s recipes lately, but worry not, I will resume regular baking once I get this out of my system. Not that I’m…
{Momofuku Apple Pie Cake} – Tort cu mere si cidru
Momofuku Milk Bar recipes need no introduction as they are not just beautifully presented, but also delicious. This Apple Cider Cake is just what you expect – moist, fragrant and with plenty of texture so every bite is pure joy for your taste buds!
{Marble Loaf Cake} – Chec in doua culori
From time to time I feel the need of going back to my roots by baking something my mum used to make all the time – marble loaf cake. This buttery, soft cake is part of my childhood memories – my mum is a great cook and she always loved making us little treats. Saturdays…
{Carrement au Chocolat}
There’s two people I absolutely love and admire when it comes to desserts: one is the brilliant Antonio Bachour, whose work I can’t stop staring at and one is the amazing Pierre Herme, the Picasso of modern pastry, the man who totally revamped the way pastries look and taste. I couldn’t choose between the two…
Mini torturi cu ciocolata si cafea sau Tiramisu my way
Cand ma gandesc la Italia si aromele ei, cafeaua e printre primele lucruri care imi vin in aminte, urmata indeaproape de Amaretto. Sunt doua arome care ma duc cu gandul imediat la bucataria si cultura italiana si ador sa le combin, cu toate ca nu sunt o bautoare de cafea. In mod ciudat insa, iubesc…
