GIVEAWAY & Strawberry Basil Macarons made with Real Strawberries (Template)

THE CHALLENGE OF USING REAL STRAWBERRIES On the road of recipe development, there are those recipes which feels somewhat effortless and taste great the very first or second try, and then there are those which make you want to pull your hair out and abandon the project altogether.

Savoury Macarons – Rose Cream & Duck Apricot Pâté

Double Chocolate Bears with Tiny Jack-O-Lanterns (w/Template)

I don’t usually do much baking for Halloween since I like to jump straight into preparations for the Christmas holiday season once September comes around. I always find it interesting that so many people rejoice the return of the Fall season while I, on the other hand, find the season a bit meloncholy. Having to say goodbye to my […]

Salted Caramel Recipe & Donut Macaron Template

When I started to make caramel at home, I finally realized why I loved the taste so much. Butter, cream and sugar are basically the main ingredients in salted caramel (salt too obviously). If you’ve ever read my bio, you know I am basically IN LOVE with butter. And when I mean in love, I […]

Big Macaron Ice Cream Sandwich Recipe

After last year’s Big Macaron Cake debacle, I was a little hesitant to bake big macarons again. However, I decided, it’s another year and I should tackle this baby one more time to see how my macaron baking skills have improved within the last year. I’m happy to report that the big macarons baked beautifully […]

  Have you noticed that the last few tutorials I wrote on #macaronart, the characters like the pink bears and Moshi Maro were perfectly symmetrical? Therefore, you could use the same template for both the top and bottom shell. Today, we’re going to take our #macaronart up a notch and pipe these asymmetrical numbers. With these […]

Afternoon tea served in floral tea ware and teapots on tea warmers.

You may have already discovered that afternoon tea in Vancouver is not one of those dining experiences which you can casually decide on last-minute. You might run into obstacles such as full-houses, tea sets which requires 24 hours advance booking and weekend-only offerings. So on Friday morning when my friend and I decided on the spur-of-the-moment to go […]
