This Chocolate Dobash cake was a request from my Hawaiian husband for his birthday. A Dobash cake is a popular cake in Hawaii. It is a genoise cake (a sponge like cake) and a pudding like chocolate filling and frosting. You can see other Hawaiian cakes here, here, and here. The best part of this cake is the pudding like filling! Continue reading
Passion Fruit Strawberry Cake
I based this cake on a strawberry cake from Milk bar. Instead of using lemon, I used passion fruit. I love how it is a naked cake and you can see all the delicious layers! The passion fruit and strawberry go together perfectly. Passion fruit by itself is kind of tangy, but with the liquid cheesecake and vanilla cake, it all comes together deliciously! I made this cake for my Aunt Teresa’s Birthday! Continue reading

Peach Mousse Entremet with Mirror Glaze
An entremets is in modern French cuisine a small dish served between courses or simply a dessert. Originally it was an elaborate form of entertainment dish common among the nobility and upper middle class in Europe during the later part of the Middle Ages and the early modern period. An entremet marked the end of a serving of courses and could be anything from a simple frumenty (a type of wheat porridge) that was brightly colored and flavored with exotic and expensive spices to elaborate models of castles complete with wine fountains, musicians, and food modeled into allegorical scenes.
For modern pastry chefs, an entremet is a multi-layered mousse-based cake with various complementary flavors and varying textural contrasts. Continue reading

Blackberry Mousse Cake with Mirror Glaze
This Blackberry mousse cake has everything it needs to be a great dessert. The base is a chocolate Italian sponge cake. It’s dark and moist, sweet, and has the distinctive flavor of chocolate. The delicate white chocolate mousse is light, and soft in both sweetness and flavor. However, the mousse suspends a blackberry purée that’s been set with a touch of gelatin. This fruit layer is intense in both its color and its tart flavor. The final touch is a glaze of melted white chocolate colored purple on top of the cake; it provides a startling white chocolate flavor, and vibrant blackberry purple color that stands out in contrast to the white chocolate mousse.

Layered Tres Leche Cake with Strawberries
This was my second time making a tres leche cake. I made it for my family for New Years, and it was really yummy! The previous cake I made was with peaches, you can check that out Here. It is a super moist, light, airy and super delicious sponge cake soaked in the three kinds of milk {evaporated milk, condensed milk, and heavy cream}. Tres Leches is a very light cake {especially if made without butter}, with many air bubbles in its crumb. This distinct texture is why it does not have a soggy consistency, despite being soaked in a mixture of three types of milk. Continue reading

Pink Rose Swirl Cake
I am so excited about this cake because I used a new recipe for the frosting! I usually made a basic buttercream frosting, but this time I tried the Swiss meringue buttercream. It worked like a dream! The flowers held up, and there weren’t any air bubbles. Also I have to say that it is much tastier, it is a little less sweet. This frosting is perfect for my husband who doesn’t really enjoy super sweet frosting.

Apple Pie Layer Cake with Apple Roses
Apples are my favorite part of the fall season. I love apple pies, and this time I wanted to try to incorporate an apple pie into a layer cake. I have seen cakes on pinterest where they actually take a whole apple pie and bake it inside a cake! I thought that was fascinating!
