I recently did a fun little Q&A on my instagram story, telling people to ask me any kind of questions they had about Cedrik (my fiancé) and I. Someone asked if we could make video where Cedrik bakes and I tell him what to bake, and it actually turned out to be quite the challenge, …

Everything starts with an idea, of course. Usually my client will come to me with a few …
If you couldn't tell, I love cheesecake. I've made chocolate hazelnut cheesecake, cheesecake pops with almonds, matcha, and rose pistachio, but this time I'm going back to basics and presenting you with a classic and super simple cheesecake recipe... blueberry cheesecake!! If you want to omit the blueberries because you're a blueberry hater, you …
