Now I have been watching a lot of Christina Tosi’s cooking videos on Youtube lately, and I have seen so many people do the funfetti birthday cake. However, I personally do not want to do that. When I think of birthday cakes, I typically almost always have a fluffy, moist chocolate cake. Now to challenge…

Red velvet-raspberry entremet
Now you cannot deny the beauty of a mirror glaze cake. You can try, but you are just kidding yourself. Since my last attempt at a mirror glaze cake, I have decided to have at it with another one, this time, a raspberry infused red velvet entremet. The design was actually inspired by my friend,…

Simple and cute is the easiest way to describe them. These kinds of cupcakes are often described as cloud-like, which is why I opted…
Peach and white chocolate upsidedown pound cakes
I literally made this recipe out of boredom. Now I could give you guys a long-winded story about how I went every summer eating white peaches grown from our backyard and how it made me look forward to the summer every year (this is a true story btw), but that’s not what I’m in the…
