I didn´t even notice and currant season is almost over. Not that I wanted to make some jam or what, but I wanted to make at least one cake. I managed to make Red Currant White Chocolate Cheesecake. Since I think red currants are too sour, I wanted to combine them with something really sweet and white chocolate is a…

Blackberry season is on and maybe you were also wondering what kind of a cake to make with them, but besides a traditional bundt cake, pound cake and muffins, you didn´t get any other idea. I always get this block with blackberries, but mostly with currants and gooseberries. Therefore, when I saw a recipe for Blackberry Coconut Tart in a…

I wanted to pick up some blueberries two weeks ago but, of course, there weren´t any. I bought them now and managed to save up some for winter. Lemon is a great match to blueberries, it is clear from other recipes on my blog since the lemon blueberry combination is present in about three recipes. It is their season now…

I don´t have my own apricots this year, they all fell from the tree or the tree had some infection, I don´t know. At least there is still someone who is willing to give a few of them to me or I can buy them on a market. I was thinking what to do with them and I eventually made…

Raspberries are finally here. I´m excited about it since there is no better combination than raspberries and chocolate. However, I chose to leave out chocolate this time. I´ve been thinking about the bold red color of red velvet cake for a while and it came to me to combine it with raspberries. There was finally the time for fresh raspberries,…

Lavender is in hurry this year so I had to use it sooner than I´m used to. Besides lavender syrup and dried lavender for winter, I made No-bake Lavender Chocolate Cups. They are made with dark chocolate cups and whipped cream, cream cheese and lavender filling. Filling is inspired by a traditional chocolate whipped cream, where you add chocolate into…

Cherry season is almost finished so I prepared the last cherry recipe for this year. Specifically, it is Cherry Vanilla Chocolate Cheesecake. Although this triple combination may seem like too much, it is not true at all. Vanilla because it is traditional, regular and basic cheesecake, only with the addition of fresh cherries in the cheesecake. It is made with…

Cherries are already here, I don´t even know since when. I looked at a cherry tree a couple days ago and thought they would be ripe not sooner than at the beginning of July, but they managed to do it earlier. I generally think everything gets ripe sooner this year and I don´t know what to use up earlier. Peaches…

Strawberries are everywhere, I collected almost two full bowls of strawberries yesterday from my garden so the part of them immediately went into a cake. And since it is scorching hot and I prefer nice cold desserts in this weather, I decided for the combination of cocoa sponge cake with cheesecake filling and chopped strawberries. I cut the cake into…

My state exams are on and let me tell you just that I´m in hurry and I don´t have time for anything. I have two state exams left, or 3, since two of them are in the same day, so I study hard. Therefore, let me cut to the chase. If you don´t have time or are not in the…

I still don´t have strawberries in my garden, but they were on sale in supermarkets so I bought a few boxes, specifically a kilo and half. But surprise, surprise – they even didn´t last four days, so I had to throw away most of them because they went mouldy. Well, what a quality. I planned to make a cake, where…

I don´t have fresh fruit yet, so the frozen one had to be enough for now. Since I wanted something other than chocolate, I chose a raspberry lemon combination. After all, it is a fresh summer and tasty combination. This Raspberry Lemon Cake is made with fluffy lemon sponge cake with raspberries, raspberry jelly layer and lemon filling. It is…

Since seasonal fruit is nowhere to be found yet, I use my stocks from last summer and shop deals. I found a whole box of kiwis at my place, kiwi which no one wanted to eat, so they had to be used in a cake. After all, everything I put in a cake is eventually eaten. I looked at websites…

Easter is over so I was in mood for something light and refreshing. I had some mascarpone left and frozen blueberries from summer and it were about time to use them up since second summer is almost here. I made a cheesecake and since I already have one blueberry cheesecake on the blog, I combined blueberries and lemon in…

Easter is almost here as well as the time when we think what to bake. If you don´t have time for long-preparation cakes, this Easter Pink Raspberry Tart is right for you. It is made with traditional kneaded dough, jam, mascarpone whipped cream layer and chocolate Easter eggs. Besides its simplicity and quickness of its preparation, it has another advantage…

We traditionally make choux pastry donuts for Christmas and Easter – the regular ones with vanilla buttercream. Choux pastry donuts are made with choux pastry (of course) and are shaped into circles, therefore they resemble to donuts. They belong to the same category as éclairs, profiteroles, etc, but this shape is the most popular in Slovakia, we call them “venčeky”.…

There are only a few weeks left until Easter so I adjusted the decoration for photos. I´m sure you´re familiar with it too – you bake for Christmas or Easter, some cakes require only egg yolks and suddenly you have leftover egg whites and no cake to make. One solution would be to freeze them, but I always forget how…

I wanted to make something with lime for a long time, but I usually had such bad luck that I found limes in a really bad condition. I finally found some good limes with good price so I took them right away. I was carried away and I eventually took a lot more than I needed and now the leftover pieces…
