Not only this cake is moist and delicious, it looks absolutely darling. After icing the mini cakes, I immediately thought how perfect they are for a baby shower. The yogurt gives this cake a hint of sour and the rose water adds a delicate scent. I used a 6-Cavity Brioche Silicone Mold and poured the […]
Do you know what a Galette is? Neither do I đ¤ Its crust is like a fusion between a pie and a pizza. That’s the best I got. Then you add a filling and fruit. I had peaches and blueberries in the fridge so I googled that and found a recipe by Sallyâs Baking Addiction, […]
So I baked a cake after nine months of not baking. (I don’t know why everyone who hears that feels obligated to make a comment that connects this to the concept of pregnancy. đ) But anywho! I decided to bake a birthday cake for my dad and, since every time we get ice cream he […]
I first met Hedieh Ilchi in 2013.

It seems the color âcoralâ is big this year, mostly thanks to the Pantone Color organization, which has selected âliving coralâ […]
A few years ago I took a class to learn how to make stained glass just so I could make the stained glass scenes from the prelude of one of Disney’s best, the Beauty and the Beast. And after three sessions I quit! Working with glass is hard, man! But I never got that idea […]
For some reason I’ve always kept my distance from the cheesecake! But they are actually very easy to make if you keep a few things in mind: Use fresh ingredients, while baking place the pan in a larger roasting pan filled halfway with water (so that is bakes gently) and after baking time is over […]
My brother made a new friend recently and if you knew him youâd understand how exciting that is! It was this friendâs birthday a few days ago and, needless to say, I had to make cupcakes for this event đ I asked him to find out what his friendâs favorite flavor is and the results […]
