Apple Strudel

The original Wiener Apfelstrudel - Recipe courtesy of Hofbackstube Schönbrunn is amazing. Unfortunately, in my house nobody likes raisins and rum in cakes, nor I like to put bread crumbs in an apple strudel. I have my own recipe to indulge every member in the family. It's a great dessert after lunch or an afternoon snack beside coffee or tea.

Paris Slices

The most romantic place in the world is certainly Paris. Once, someone, somewhere made these slices to look romantic enough to remind of Paris. Pecans, chocolate and plain, sweet cookies are building a divine combination of tastes. Can be a fast, sweet and distinguished dessert after a romantic dinner.

How Muffins turn into Cupcakes with Chocolate Ganache

I had to bake some chocolate muffins just to be sure I haven't forgot the recipe. I had a little time and all of the ingredients so the 50% of the muffins was done :-). I have rolled up my sleeves and began to measure the ingredients. I love this very much. Just making cakes and everything that is sweet brings up my serotonin...so, I don't really need a chocolate :-)

No Bake Coconut Roll Cake vs. No Bake Chestnut Roll Cake

I was a guest on a Orthodox christened Slava, which is a collective celebration of the certain family's name day. It's a nice event since there is a lot of people, loud music, a feast and pretty cakes, off course :-) . Silvia did a great job preparing a lot of food variations and certainly cakes :-) . There I tasted Somersby pear cider for the first time and it was delicious. I decided to make a contest between two similar cakes and jet totally different tastes.

Pomegranate Yogurt Cake

Delicious and refreshing cake for summer hot days. Sometimes it comes good in winter after a good salty meal. This one was made by my brothers wife for his birthday. I never knew that she bakes so pretty cakes. This cake is so creamy, moisty, fruity and above all light. It was a tasty surprise for all of us. Way to go, Sandra!

The taste is outrageously fantastic. No matter if you make cakes or not, this one is not hard to make and you will like it for sure.

Absinthe Blue Cake

I have discovered an extravagant cake with absinthe blue jelly glaze. Amazing yoghurt cake with small orange pieces inside the cream and the decorating orange slices on top.  Absinthe is historically described as a distilled, highly alcoholic beverage, so this cake is not for persons under 18. This birthday cake was highly rated among all of us on the party and one is certain - it has to be made for at least once in your lifetime!

Cherry Party Cake

Red cherries from our garden are picked just for this cake to be made. A 13 year old boy likes cherries and on his request this cake has only cherries in a pudding and whipping base for the topping. Very easy to make, cake with delicious sweet and sour taste covered with cloudy whitish whipping base. Decoration is left to the baker to decide - as he totally knows the interests of the boy.

Banana Softy Cake

When I was reading thru my old recipes, I came across one which I haven't tried out yet. The ingredients are exciting so I decided to prepare it at last. I had some over-ripe bananas which is crucial component in order to use less white sugar ( which is not very healthy). It's not a complicated cake to make, is just mixing all the ingredients, baking it and pouring some chocolate ganache on top.
