Meringue Cake with Pecans and Chocolate

So many times I have eaten this kind of cake and never tried to make it myself. The time has come and the ingredients were all here. I was a little afraid that it wouldn't bake good or an hour in the oven seamed to me like an eternity. Trust me, it is not complicated at all. I have made this gorgeous Meringue Cake with Pecans, creamed with egg yolk filling and chocolate ganache and covered with whipping base, so you can do it too :-)

Twisted Pastry Braid

I woke up this morning with a thought to make something easy and unusual. I have made a basic dough and thought a little bit more. The dough smelled so good and fresh, and it was so bubbly under my fingers and the idea knocked on the door. I was going to make a Twisted Pastry Braid, so crunchy outside and soft inside with salty note of freshly baked pastry like the one in the bakery shop around the corner.

Poppy Seed Strudel

This adorable Poppy Seed Strudel I have made on my son's request today. He was very happy :-) I was too :-) This is a roll cake that you should try to make at least once in your life... It's not hard to make but you must follow the recipe step by step in order to make a strudel soft, airy and without cracks. I won't say that mine is crackless but I gave my best :-)

White Chocolate Chip Cookies

White chocolate is not that lovable like brown chocolate but believe me, these cookies enriched with sweet little white chocolate chips and with some cocoa powder can amaze you impressively :-) Not extra sweet but just as it has to be... Everybody will like these cookies, so mild tasting and nice looking from the cookie box can last for a few weeks or more.

Dark Chocolate Chip Cookies

Dark chocolate is a really healthy blessing for all those who want to loose weight. Choose these dark chocolate chip cookies with pecans to indulge your cravings for chocolate and sweet treats. I have heard that dark chocolate causes less aging but although I think it can be an exaggeration, I would choose these among all the others. :-)

Poppy Seed Cake with Cherries

This is my first poppy seed cake ever. I was a skeptic about it's tastiness, but I was wrong. Especially like this, cherry jelly in the middle of two layers of poppy seed cake and decorated with whipped cherry cream, totally unexpected, delicious dessert. This experiment was carefully watched by my other half...until it was served :-) Mmmm, delicious - he said, but poppy seeds bothered him afterwords :-(

Fanta Cheesecake

I had an urge for a refreshing sweet cake and among my recipes was this Fanta Cheesecake, so I gathered all the ingredients and started baking. I had help from my sweet niece Natasha. We have creamed a double cheese frosting on a cocoa cake and used Fanta juice for the jelly. Naturally, the cake turned out awesome and above all refreshing!
