Matcha white chocolate chip cookies are a pleasant variation of the classic chocolate chip cookie. Thanksgiving has come and gone. While I don’t celebrate Thanksgiving, I do like the idea of giving thanks and counting your blessings. I have a lot of things in my life to be thankful for. On top of my list […]

Don’t be daunted by the zebra matcha Japanese cheesecake. It only looks more difficult than it is. Read on to learn how to prepare this show-stopper! My poor husband. After dinner, I told him we had cheesecake in the fridge for dessert. I then left him to put Becca to bed, and afterward, as we […]
Making homemade marshmallow fondant with butter (MMF) is quite easy to do. I am making it with butter only because I don’t know if the shortening available in Germany or Switzerland is the same as Crisco (which is the only shortening I’ve ever used.)

But before we get to the cake, I wanted to […]
Jump to Recipe I always look forward to special occasions, because it means that I get to bake a layer cake and decorate it. I usually make just one flavor, but for last Father’s day I went a step further and baked two different cake flavors! Chocolate cake is always a winner with Tobi, so […]
My favorite icing to use for celebration cakes is Swiss meringue buttercream. It is not to sweet and has a silky mouth-feel. It is very spreadable and holds up quite well to piping. When I started making cakes, I was icing them with American buttercream. This is mainly a lot of powdered sugar and butter. […]
