Matcha Meringue Cake
I’ve been thinking about this cake basically since I came back from Korea in December. I am not quite sure why it took so long for me to actually make it (seriously it is not difficult at all) and it is actually ridiculous how satisfied I am now that it has been made…and completely devoured. I’m not kidding about being devoured–its a 6″ cake...

Fig, Cognac and Mascarpone Chocolate Cake
This might be hands down the most delicious cake I have ever made. I’m not kidding–who knew a cake could remain so moist (sorry not sorry to you readers who hate that word) even when you abuse it by hacking it to pieces and leaving it on the counter (and by counter I mean the top of my parents washing machine) for several days?...

Coconut Rainbow Cake
I know I say this all the time, but its been awhile since I have actively contributed anything to my blog and for that I apologize. Every day I would put “WRITE A BLOG POST” on my To Do List (yes, I have a daily to do list….and every other kind of list there is… >_<). And every day I would sadly copy-paste it...

White Chocolate Strawberry Entremets
I don’t know what it is about small desserts that makes them so much more appealing to make and eat–even if it takes two days to make and five minutes to devour. I want to get better at making little, intricate desserts, so when I was in Japan I visited Kappabashi-dori so that I could pick up a new silicon mold. Now I know...

Gluten Free Nutella Chocolate Cake
Cold weather always equals a baking day. Today was so cold that all the schools in the area were closed, and anyone who could stay home, did. Considering I am on a two-month winter break, its not like I had to go anywhere anyway, but after sleeping in and lounging about in my pjs for awhile I decided to play with my kitchen as...

Japan Day 80-81: *First* Trip to Nikko
The program I was on last year, IES Tokyo, has set field trips that they take every semester. The first group field trip we went on was 5 days Kanazawa, and the second was two days in Nikko. Now I have titled this post as “First” trip to Nikko because as you may know, I had an internship/RA position with IES Tokyo over the...

삼계탕 aka Chicken Ginseng Soup
Sometimes I plan on making a specific recipe days or even weeks in advance, to the point where I have purchased all the ingredients, and when that day rolls around I end up making something completely different. Today was one of those days. I owe a friend some cookies, and today I was finally going to make them… until the weather forecast showed we...

Princess Torte Cupcakes
I hadn’t really noticed until now, but in my family, the cakes we have for our birthdays seem to reflect the kind of people we are. For example, my birthday cakes seem to always be home-made masterpieces, made by my dad when I was younger and then made by myself as I got older. My older brother just goes with the flow and is...
