Mini Trifle
I made this quick and easy dessert over lunch today . I just wanted to use the shortcake that i bought from the store few days ago , since it’s been sitting there without anybody eating it . I’ve made the custard the other day , was going to use it for eclairs , but i think i’ve been making too much stuff lately for our little family . One can only eat so much , right ? So , everybody can make this , i use the pretty glass for this , just pull apart the shortcake or even angel food cake from store would work just fine ,…

Raisins Butter Cake
One of my favorite cake of all time . When i was younger , my mom used to bake this cake a lot . The smell of the butter being baked in the oven was so good . To bring back memories , i had asked my sister the recipe for this cake , since i believe she was the one who gave my mother the recipe . ( She went to culinary school ) So , this afternoon , i decided to make butter cake , this cake is so easy to make , yet , they’re so moist and rich . Most of you have the ingredients that…

Fruit Tartlets
This afternoon i decided to make use of these strawberries we had in our fridge . It was cheap , i couldn’t help not to buy 3 pints of strawberries , only to wonder what else could i make with these strawberries !!! It was only $1.00 / pint , during winter month , who could’ve refused that ? Okay , it’s close to spring , but it was still cheap , even during summer months you can’t get $1.00/pint at the grocery store , except at the farmer’s market . I remember early fall last year i got 8 pints of strawberries and it only cost ms $1.00 for…

Strawberry Cake with White Chocolate Whipped Cream
Made this birthday cake for our neighbour the other day . Originally i was going to make chocolate cake , but obviously i changed my mind at the last minute . Ended up with making strawberry cake , just 2 layers of strawberry cake , with dark chocolate icing in between , and then white chocolate whipped cream on the icing all over the cake . I have to say that i never worked on whipped cream icing , i usually just use french butter cream icing , or chocolate ganache icing . Doesn’t mean i never used whipped cream , i’ve used it for cakes few times ,…

Espresso Meringue
Made these meringues few times already , so easy yet so yummy . Most of the time i only have 2-3 pieces of them just because they’re sweet , i guess that’s why it’s called meringue !! I love this kind though because it has espresso in there , i used instant espresso , and since i loved mocha / coffee stuff .. this becomes my preference compared to regular meringue which nothing but sweet . Nick also loves this ,he requested it few times already for me to make them . Anyway .. make sure your oven is in the low temperature , and after finished baking them ,…

Lemon Meringue Pie
So i was trying to make this classic lemon meringue pie , since it’s my husband all time favorite , well it used to be his favorite until i made fruit tart not too long ago , and it became his favorite now . But still i think i still owe it to my husband to make him a real good home made lemon meringue pie . Years ago when we were just married , probably the first year , i tried to make lemon meringue pie for him , okay , not home made from scratch everything , since i bought the pie crust , and then the filling…

Classic Fruit Tart
Made this fruit tart this afternoon , well actually was planning to make it last night , but didn’t have enough time , we got home quite late , and fixing dinner quite late . But late last night i decided to make the fillings for this wonderful classic fruit tart . Most of the tart i saw used cream cheese as its filling , which i don’t care so much about . I love the vanilla custard that i made for eclairs , and i decided to make that custard as the filling for my fruit tart . The crust was a lil different than regular pie crust ,…

So , anyway , i felt better later on that night , and after having some pizza , i thought why not throwing in this easy dessert together and we can have them .
