Life lately.

Not sure where to start from. Cakes, celebrations, moves, trips with friends, surprise birthdays, boxes, graduation, aperitivo, homemade meals, exams, dinners.

My life is jumping to a new era.

2. Dolmadakia - precious wine leaves traveling from Istanbul to Milan.
3. Pistacchio chocolate cake.
4. Seniors 2024 graduation cake 🥹.
5. Homemade strawberry jam as an appreciation gift.
6. PJ masks birthday cake.
7. First official aperitivo with Andreas ♥️
8. Rescue meals sent to London before exams ♥️
9. Sugar free tiramisu cake with red fruit

Proudness and endless love

Good morning everyone ! I do not know how I managed to only take ONE picture of this family favorite in springtime … so I apologize for this so small picture that contains such a great taste !
It is actually a giant choux filled with crème diplomate and fresh strawberries topped with a white chocolate and Sicilian pistachio glaze. We have many options for the glaze, in the past I was topping it with chocolate ganache, but the Italian influence has hit me hard and I found this combination equally interesting.
Hope you are having a wonderful day 🍓

And then there are the 2 year olds who also need to celebrate their achievement of growing up and taking only one nap per day vs two, or eating more confidently with the spoon 😍🥹.
This is why I love baking. Baking conveys love through food. Have you ever seen a sad face around you when there is CAKE ? It is such a unique, pure feeling of joy and excitement just because there is a piece of cake ! What a strange expression of «piece of cake » conveying SIMPLICITY…. Maybe because a simple piece of cake can bring so much happiness ♥️

Happy birthday to mini kids who stay enthusiastic just with a little piece of cake 🎂. Don’t we all ?

Many times I am asking myself, if I were to open a bakery tomorrow, which 10 recipes I would be confident and proud to sell ?

My carrot cake is definitely one of them. Generally the Americans who are exposed to baked cakes and sponges, get crazy with this recipe, but I have to confess even the rest of my customers, friends and family love this recipe. For me the success lies in the moisture coming from tons of apple, pear, apple and pineapple, fresh ginger and lemon zest, coupled with an airy cream cheese mousse !

So this is a question to my customers - which of my cakes do you think I should definitely include in my Top 10 recipes of all times ?

If you have managed to digest after the Xmas celebrations and feast, here is my last cheesecake classic.

Hazelnut cheesecake, all homemade and decadent hopefully closing a meal of fish and vegetables.

Holidays are still on !

Xmas baking is full on, combining my origin with my passion. Melomakarona is the traditional Greek cookie for Xmas, a delicious aromatic cookie made with olive oil, orange and honey. You don’t need any other aromatic candle for Xmas as this cookie does all the work overwhelming your house with winter aromas of orange and cinnamon 😍. Xmas macarons’ inspiration is white chocolate and pistacchio hand painted in Xmas colors of gold, green and red. I am so in love with baking macarons, they are so beautiful, unique and their flavor deliver such wonderful balance !
What is your favorite Xmas treat ?

Today I had no inspiration for a post as it is a very busy weekend but if there is one thing I can say watching this cake is that I absolutely adore baking, and it is funny to say but I think my customers are doing me a favor ordering and paying me because I just LOVE it and wish I could stay in my kitchen all day and bake-bake-bake.
Thank you for inspiring me 🎂

Good morning 🌲
I am in Xmas mood ! Between the cheesecake mastering, there are always great occasions to celebrate.

What is your favorite sponge cake flavor?

Part of my everyday baking journey is a series of courses I am taking to improve and sometimes even perfectionate my skills in my field of passion.
If I could name my advent calendar of 2023, I would call it Creams and Textures. This week I have been focusing on baked cheesecakes and this is a biscuit cheesecake topped with famous biscuits. It’s a rich recipe and the biggest learning for me has been how to achieve a perfectly smooth cream cheese avoiding the crumbly and some times too buttery texture.
My goal is to acquire more understanding of the chemistry involved in baking by the end of my Advent 2023.

What was the best cheesecake you have ever tried ?

Macarons 😍

One word, 1000 hours of labor. How much respect I have for those who know all about macarons!!!!
Personally I have done 2 courses of French macarons and maybe have thrown in the trash 100 trays of cracked shells, shells with ni***es, non symmetrical shells etc etc.
Finally I am proud to be able to bake flawless, divine macarons, smooth, moist, aromatic, like a small bite of a spring cloud.
Hard work, dedication, fail, persistence, accuracy, precision.

Merci to my friend who gave me this wonderful recipe book from the one and only who built upon my knowledge and made me fall in love again with this art ♥️

Siblings never cease to amaze me….
I have two fantastic boys who are very very different from each other, and I am always very amazed with their attitude to life, their choices, their tastes. I am very proud of them and very impressed with what DNA can do …. Respect to the biologists who claim that 80% is pre-decided by nature !

Today I decided to post the cakes of two sisters, one turned 17 in March and the other 25 last week. They are so great and so different as well and their personalities are depicted on their cake choices.
Sofia chose a double chocolate mousse cake covered in the romantic Mamma Mia theme while Alessia chose a vanilla salted caramel recipe with a witty message on top.

Cheers to diversity, cheers to siblings, cheers to creativity, cheers to decadent cakes !

Chocolate Babka, chocolate brioche, chocolate tsoureki… whatever you may call it, it is soft, moist, chocolatey, irresistible, homemade with love and just ideal for breakfast or afternoon coffee.

Now that my big fan lives in London, my lifetimes partner is in Paris and my little consumer is in Milan, my big baking days are primarily for customers who enjoy my everyday bakes.
Maybe it is time to be more extrovert with my baking, right ?
