Mini Brioches (Ladurée Recipe)

Mini Brioches (Ladurée Recipe)

  When you say “Ladurée”, everybody thinks about their delicious macarons. Well, guess what? macarons are like the emerging part of the iceberg. If you go to Paris or any other city where Ladurée has a shop or tea room, you’ll see they have many […]

Black Forest Cake

Black Forest Cake

  Usually not my favorite classic cake because the ones I had taste so far contained too much kirsch to cover the plain taste but this version with a mascarpone chantilly and just a bit of cherry liquor is really delicious!  I chose to make […]

Chocolate Royal

Vanilla Raspberry Bavarian Cake

Vanilla Raspberry Bavarian Cake

When someone brought me (huge) vanilla pods from Madagascar, my brain went crazy with all the possibilities I had. I already used vanilla pods before of course but the ones I find in the Dutch supermarkets are usually small, dry and do not contain that […]
