Baking cheesecakes is always a good idea if you want to make people happy. They are normally easy to prepare and have a lot of fans out there. A lot of fans! If you add caramel and some chocolate you probably even get the haters ;P These (Lotus) Biscoff Mini Cheesecakes also have a perfect size. Everyone gets their own little cake and everyone can nibble on it undisturbed… so good!
A delicious cheesecake is always great – there’s no way to deny that, right? No matter if it’s summer or winter. If you are busy preparing other stuff for the holidays I recommend making a no-bake cheesecake like this delicious No-Bake Speculoos Cheesecake – great for a hungry crowd and easy to prepare. We all have enough to do around Christmas. No need to stay in the kitchen longer than necessary ;)
Christmas without baked apples as dessert is hard to imagine – at least here in Germany. They pop up everywhere around Christmas ;) I love the combination of apple and cinnamon and love to use that in other desserts and bakes as well. Something like this Baked Apple Cake (with sour cream), for example. Along with some mulled wine or hot apple cider… so good!
Halloween is coming up soon. We are not decorating anything and we are also not throwing a party… but we like to bake spooky stuff. Simply because it’s fun! Today I’ve given delicious Cheesecake on Sticks a little makeover. Anyone can decorate them beautifully with colorful sprinkles, berries, and fruits. I used gravestones, caught some spiders, and cut open some brains for my decorations. Muharrharr… ;P
Cheesecakes are always a good idea when you are expecting guests – almost everyone likes them. But you can bake them even without expecting anyone. Make them just for yourself. This Basque Cheesecake (aka. Burnt Cheesecake) here with chocolate is one of those candidates you don’t want to share anyway. So it’s fine to make one only for yourself ;P
Summer is the season for fresh fruits and berries. If you can get all that fresh from the farmer’s market it’s a must to make something with it, right?! ;) Right now we’re in plum season – this means, of course, you got to bake something with plums. Normally, we would make a big tray of plum streusel cake to celebrate plums and the start of the season but this year decided to bake something different. A delicious Damson Plum Poppy Seed (Streusel) Cheesecake. A great combination in my opinion. Isn’t it? ;)
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 ;)
