I love a good crostata. An open-faced tart made from buttery pastry, stuffed with baked fruit is always a good time in my book. Since blueberries are still in season, I figured, why not use those, and pair them with my good friend, yujacha. Yujacha is a Korean citron(or yuzu) marmalade, made with the citrus…

Blackberry-Yuzu Drifloon Pies
Drifloon is one of the cutest Pokemon out there, being a ghostly purple balloon with a yellow cross shape(I’m assuming that the balloon was popped and patched up), and a little wispy cloud on top of its head. I still have memories of playing Pokemon Pearl and finding them in the Valley Windworks on a…
Tonka Bean and Yuzu Paris Brest
I made this dessert for my friends’ highbrow-lowbrow caviar night.

In my case, I wanted to go the fancy route, since I am a bougie bitch…

Think thin, buttery cookies with a melt in the mouth texture. They are surprisingly easy…
Yujacha Malvapoeding

Malvapoeding, pronounced…
Yuzu-Castella Strawberry Shortcake
One of my favorite childhood memories growing up was coming back from a long day at school, and being greeted by my mom with some sort of baked good from the local Taiwanese bakery. Sometimes it was cheesecake, other times, mont blanc, but one particular favorite of mine is castella. Castella is a fluffy sponge…
