For special days and celebrations, people like to have a cake on the table. Today is one of these special days, that deserves a cake. This small Rainbow Piñata Cake. Colorful, delicious, and also coming with a message. Today is May 17th and some may know or can guess what today is all about…
Cheesecakes are very popular bakes I’d say. At least here in our kitchen and among friends and family. As soon as a cheesecake, like this one here, is on the table the room turns silent and everyone is handing you their plate to get a slice of it. I am not complaining about that. If everyone is happy and silent… why would I complain?! ;P Another great thing about this Extra Rich Cheesecake – it is sugar-free! Means I can have at least one slice! ;P
Mother’s Day is coming up soon again – as a good son or daughter you want to make this day special for your mom. Maybe even make her happy for once ;P A gift mothers often get on this day is flowers. I prefer baking something, to be honest. Something like this Pink (Red Velvet) Mother’s Day Cake. I did not make this one here for my mom (she lives far away), but I am pretty sure she would have liked it… even though it’s pink ;P
If you have guests over for an Easter breakfast, brunch, or a coffee in the afternoon there is normally a lot to do. You got to prepare food, decorate the place, hide eggs or small gifts, and in the end also make yourself presentable ;P In cases like that, it’s good to know how to save some time here and there. For example, instead of preparing several different desserts for your guests, you make some simple cupcakes. They can all look different and taste different but are all made with the same basic recipe. If you want to know how to do that, you should keep reading ;P
Spring is here and Easter is coming up soon. Many people have worked hard to get some extra pounds from Christmas off of their hips (not me) – so it’s time to get some of them back with delicious Easter treats. These little chocolate cakes here are the perfect candidates for that. Of course, only if you do not share. If several people nibble on small cakes like that you will not have a problem with gaining extra weight. Hopefully ;)
There is so much you can do with rhubarb. First and foremost, of course, sweet cakes and desserts. But also savory dishes can be “improved” with rhubarb ;) The recipe today is definitely something sweet. A classic Rhubarb Tart with a generous meringue topping. I would’ve loooved to make this recipe sugar-free so I can eat it without any remorse, but making a meringue sugar-free and then flambeé it… not a good idea. So this one here is for my sugar-loving friends out there. Like most of you out there I assume ;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 ;)
