I was just trying to use up my leftover vanilla buttercream from a client’s order and came up with these adorable spring flower cupcakes. Really spontaneous and causal and imperfect.
Matcha Green Tea Macarons
It may make more sense that you make French macarons by using the French method, which is the traditional way of mixing the meringue with almond flour and powdered sugar. I’ve used this method all along, simply because I didn’t know of other methods until recently.
Just for Mom Cake
My mother lives thousands of miles away from us. I can only make and show her the Mother’s Day cake virtually. I figured that considered she’s not able to taste it, the look of the cake would have to wow her. So I decided to do something louder, bolder and more passionate in terms of the cake decoration. And I decided to go for a giant MOM cake topper.
Brownie Espresso Ice Cream Cake
Last year I requested a DQ ice cream cake for my birthday. That was when I hadn’t had an ice cream maker yet. The reason I wanted an ice cream cake was because I didn’t know what else would amaze me considered I make cakes all the time, until I finally have an ice cream maker, and figured that making an ice cream cake at home isn’t that hard afterall.
Cinnamon Rolls
My son had his first taste of the very popular Ikea cinnamon rolls the other day. Normally when he tries new food, especially something unconventional (I know cinnamon rolls are nothing unconventional, but according to my son, cinnamon sounds very alien to him!), he’s pretty conservative. However, he liked it! He loved it! And I know it’s not because of its sweetness (he’s pretty picky on sweet stuff), but because of the perfect combination of the spice, the gooey filling and the icing/glaze.
