White peaches are my reminder that it’s finally summer. It’s crazy to think we’re over halfway through 2025(time literally flew by this year it feels like). 2020 still feels like yesterday, and the craziest part is that people born that year are already old enough to be in kindergarten now! That being said, white peaches…

Matcha-Hong Kong Almond “Yoshi Eggs”
Ever since Universal Studios opened Super Nintendo World, I have been obsessed with buying a Yoshi headband. To elaborate, Universal sold these cute Mario character headbands, with a mini doll of the character placed on the headband in a way where it looked like the character was laying on your head.

Coconut-Blood Orange Blanc Manger
Blanc manger, also spelled blancmange, is a French milk jelly, quite similar to a panna cotta, but set using gelled cornstarch instead of bloomed gelatin.

Royal milk tea mousse cake
This dessert was directly inspired from Lady M Cake Boutique. I have only recently come to realize that the damn cakes there drill holes in your wallet more effectively than I could ever drill biology concepts into my own brain. Screw you AP Bio, I have baking. Which is a science. But much cooler than…
Sweetest Taboo: A mirror glaze cake
This dessert was inspired by guilty pleasures and the Koda Kumi song, “Sweetest Taboo”, which is one of the cutest, most annoying, and energetic JPOP songs I have ever heard. For the dessert itself, I wanted to combine three main guilty pleasures, being funfetti cake, fruity pebbles cereal milk, and pink lemonade. So we have…
