It has been a while since I've written a blog post, and it’s because I’ve been working on a new series called Baking Basics, where I break down some super crucial, yet often overlooked tips when it comes to baking. The first five episodes are all about baking the perfect cake, and the sixth episode…
Easter is coming up, and I've recently been snacking on a lot of Cadbury's mini eggs, and if you've never heard of those, it's milk chocolate in the shape of a mini egg, and coated in a candy coating. I've decided I want to make a little egg nest for a topper on my cupcakes,…
Hello beautiful people! Some of you may know that I do cake orders and make custom cakes for people in the area, so even though I mostly have free reign over my cake designs, I still have to follow a theme. Every once in a while, I make a cake all for myself and I…
So my last recipe (Matcha Almond Joy (Coconut Macaroon Recipe)) has matcha in it, and this weeks recipe/tutorial is also very full of matcha! What can I say? I am obsessed with, and LOVE the taste of matcha. Matcha and coconut are a wonderful pairing, but matcha and pistachio is basically a match(a) made in…
Hello friends! I haven't been posting recently since I've been doing a lot less recipe development, and a whole lot more cake designing, so I thought I'd write a post about my whole process behind designing a cake. Everything starts with an idea, of course. Usually my client will come to me with a few…
I always seem to have at least five or more egg yolks in my fridge at a time since I'm always making Italian meringue buttercream, which as you might know, requires A LOT of egg whites. I usually make leche flan in order to use up those egg yolks, but in order to change things…
This buttercream cake is made with layers of luscious lemon cake, sweet raspberry buttercream, and covered in gold drips. Pretty and delicious!
Half of these cheesecake pops are covered in matcha ganache and toasted almonds, while the other half is covered in rose ganache and chopped pistachio. YUMMM. The perfect indulgent treat for any day.
After seeing "birthday cake" everywhere, and being really confused about how "birthday cake" could be a smell or flavour of its own, I did some research. Turns out, birthday cake is just vanilla cake with sprinkles! The birthday cake flavour is really just the strong and familiar scent of artificial vanilla flavouring. I've been getting…
It's summer time fun time!! The best way to spend summer is to hang by the beach and soak up some rays, am I right?! Welllll.... I don't usually get to hang by the beach, so instead, I'm making a beach-inspired cake (which might even be better than hanging by the beach, in my opinion).…
The perfect cake for Springtime! Layers of zesty lemon cake, sweet mango curd, and fresh blueberry Swiss meringue buttercream, create a delicious cake that is simple to make and hard to get tired of. Painted buttercream creates a simple, yet rustic cake decorating technique that is cute and easy to achieve!
Hello everyone! I've been eating a lot of Filipino food recently, and that almost always ends with ube and coconut for dessert, so I decided to take those flavours and incorporate it into a cake. Yummmmmm. If you don't know what ube is, it's a purple yam with a mildly sweet flavour. It's similar to taro,…
