If you like vanilla custard, you’ll probably love these Vanilla Croissants with Custard Filling! Fluffy yeast dough nestles around a nice vanilla custard – an absolute highlight when it comes to baking! Luckily, these little croissants are quite easy to prepare. Take a look at the recipe and you will see ;)
How about a delicious cake made only with plant-based ingredients? Sounds good? Well… I guess I got something for you in that case. An easy peasy Vegan Funfetti Cake with Vegan German Buttercream. I know, the name is a mouthful… but what you should actually do, is getting a large piece of the cake so your mouth is full. Does this make any sense in English? I assume, some of you already noticed that English is not my first language ;P Anyway. Great vegan cake with sprinkles. That’s all you need to know right now! That’s all I said.
Valentine’s Day is coming up soon. The day of the lovers… or as I would say “the day of the florists and candy manufacturers to increase sales” ;P I got no flowers for you today, but some delicious Valentine’s Day Heart Cookies. Something you could make for a loved one or other people you like… there is no reason to limit yourself here. Make as many people happy as you can ;)
Christmas is a day away here in Germany – I can already smell the mulled wine on the stove. Normally I still have some Christmas cookies left at this stage of the Christmas madness, but in case you need something last minute, you could try to deep-fry some Christmas cookies: Deep-Fried Vanilla Stars, for example ;) A sweet small snack you can serve your guests and also work well to decorate a dessert as a highlight for your Christmas dinner.
Last Sunday was “National Ice Cream Day” in the USA. I totally missed that day this year. Bummer. Instead, I made a delicious crumble cake with cherries… well, happens. But in order to make it up with the “ice cream gods”, I will have some ice cream recipes this week instead. I didn’t want you to have a week without any ice cream at all – now that it’s a bit warmer again, you can always use a little refreshment. A delicious Ube Vanilla ice cream will cool you down for sure ;)
The rhubarb season is coming to an end. Tomorrow is theoretically the last day of the season which means we have to wait almost a whole year until rhubarb is available again. A cruel time. So let’s quickly make a few more rhubarb recipes before it’s too late. This Rhubarb Compote with Vanilla Sauce and Streusel is a great dessert to prepare in advance or even freeze it for later. In case you want to extend the rhubarb season a bit, this is definitely a good option.
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 ;)
