Raspberry Rose Buttercream White Chocolate Cupcake

I kid you not and it's pretty clear on my obsession towards cupcakes. Guilty pleasures in small dainty cups, frosted with any ultra smooth Swiss Meringue Buttercream flavour is simply irresistible. This week, I thought lets start the day off with RASPBERRY ROSE BUTTERCREAM WHITE CHOCOLATE CUPCAKE.

Mini Apple & Cranberry Galette & TGIF!

What a packed whirlwind week. I am glad it's finally Friday and really looking forward to a lazy weekend. For me, making simple pies with no fuss is therapeutic. I am a huge fan when it comes to serving everyone with their own individual pies, tarts or this simple classic MINI APPLE & CRANBERRY GALETTE. While I too love the huge classic pie, sliced into slices, but I truly love the idea of everyone having their own portion. No body has to worry of not getting enough. Plus it makes serving them individually pretty, and special.

In the next coming months, you will get to see me venturing into other recipes which I have been meaning to try. A long list with not a lot of time..

While I have tested several pie dough recipe from different magazines or pastry chefs, the galette dough recipe is adapted from David Lebovitz's amazing book, if I say so myself titled "Ready for Dessert". This is possibly my new favourite  pie dough, with some minor tweaking to cater to the weather in the country I live in. It's light, flaky and crunchy around the edges. Almost like a butter cookie that melts in the mouth. Delish!

Have a great weekend~

Almond Cinnamon Rolls wtih Maple Glaze

HAPPY FRIDAY y'all! As the week starts to whine down, I am in the mood of something warm, satisfying and full of flavour. To start off, the smell of blooming yeast, in the fluffy dough, while waiting for it to rise and double up in volume is truly intoxicating. You just know that the end result is going to be something so comforting and delicious. Enough to satisfy any crave. Oh! I truly love the smell of freshly baked bread out of the oven. Plus the hint of cinnamon, almond and butter mixed together just makes it a little special.

To many of you, this may just be a simple recipe, and may have baked rolls over the years but honestly, every single time when I yearned for a classic treat, I always go to my ALMOND CINNAMON ROLLS with MAPLE GLAZE.
