I wish I could remember how I came up with this delicious cake. Because that would be one of my very rare genius moments.
Strawberry and Cream Sponge Cake
Sponge cake with or without butter?! I’ve tried both. And honestly I couldn’t tell the difference at all. Sometimes I just feel like to have a little fat in my slice of cake because cake and butter are best friends. But I will have to say that the tempering process of adding the melted butter into a small portion of cake batter before mixing it to the rest can really be a pain in the ass. It could be the separated cake batter, deflated cake layers, or gummy tasted cake.
Lemon Sponge Valentine Cake
My husband and I have never been keen about Valentine’s Day. I don’t remember I’ve ever received flowers. We feel cheesy to eat with another 20 couples in a restaurant. And who the hell cares about diamonds now? We would make a fancy dinner at home with a bottle of good wine, a great home movie, and maybe something “special” after. Haha…
Matcha Vertical Roll Cake with Black Sesame Whipped Cream
I first saw a vertical cake on Pinterest a while ago and pinned it. By the way, are you in love with Pinterest? I totally am! It’s inspirational, versatile, informative, well organized and beautiful! When I need an idea, my first source is Pinterest, a really gorgeous website to infinitely scroll through.
Chocolate Ganache Mousse Cake
After the Christmas Eve dinner, the Christmas morning gingerbread cinnamon rolls, another feast on Christmas Day, and then some leftover turkey paninis, roasted lamb sandwiches, brussel sprouts… and it comes New Year’s Eve.
While Christmas is more a family event, New Year’s Eve is a party. Before I had kids, doing countdown out at a club was almost my must-do every year. In fact it was when I was way younger. I did more house parties with friends after I hit 30. Still loud and drunk and louder and more drunk!
