Not everyone has a lot of time for baking. I bake and take pictures of my bakes for a living but I can also appreciate when I only have to spend a short time in the kitchen to get something sweet. These Easy Peasy Almond Croissants are definitely something you can whip up in no time. If you got some softened butter already you only need 5 minutes to get the croissants into the oven. Then you have to wait for the oven to finish and you got yourself a delicious snack. So easy!
Gooseberries are always welcome guests in our home in the summer. They are just great – there is so much you can do with them. Jam, compote, cakes, and much more. They may not be everyone’s favorite berries, but they have a lot of fans in our family. That’s why we always like to bake with them when they are in season. A delicious cake, like this Ricotta Cake with Roasted Gooseberries, for example. A great sweet treat you can serve when friends or family are coming over for a coffee in the garden or on your balcony ;)
As soon as rhubarb is available at the farmer’s market in spring, the world is a little better again ;) I am a big rhubarb fan and look forward to this delicious veggie to come back in March/April of every year. There is so much you can do with these red-green stalks – for example, this delicious Rhubarb Frangipane Galette. Perfect for the first coffee party with family and friends in the warming spring sun ;)
Today is the last day of the “Vegan Bake Together” week with Andrea from Zimtkeks & Apfeltarte. I can see the finish line! ;) To end this week of vegan recipes I got a delicious cake for you: a simple and easy Vegan Banana & Raspberry Cake. It’s one of my favorite cakes to make – great texture and even better flavors!
If a whole Christmas Stollen is too much for you, you might want to consider these Christmas Stollen Cantuccini – the miniature version of the classic Christmas treat. If you are fine with loads of candied fruits, and nuts, as well as a lot of powdered sugar and an abundance of calories… you probably gonna like these Christmas cookies. I love them and think they are a great addition to the regular Christmas cookie Lollapalooza ;)
Macarons are one of the best sweet treats I can think of! They are also my absolute nightmare. Well, almost… vegan Macarons are actually worse ;P They are really bit***s compared to these Chocolate Macarons with Hazelnut Praliné Cream. Nevertheless, I only make Macarons for special occasions and only when I’m in a good mood. Like last week. And here you can see the results… ;P
I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake - for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers - and it seems they like it most of the time ;)
