A Modern Bûche de Noël with Japanese Chiffon Cake Roll Two months ago when I developed the recipe for Chocolate Japanese Cake Roll, I knew right away that I just had to use this recipe again to make a Yule Log Cake for the Christmas season. After publishing the initial recipe, I was pleasantly […]
Japanese Matcha Green Tea Mille Crepe Cake – A No-Bake Dessert
Why Are Mille Crepe Cakes So Expensive? The first time I ever had a mille crepe cake, I remember being surprised that each slice of cake was between $9.50-$13.50 CND at the specialty dessert shops that sold it (which in Vancouver, isn’t many). By the looks alone, I knew it involved extra care to make […]
Super Fluffy and Soft Japanese Chocolate Cake Roll
A “Not-Too-Sweet” Japanese Style Dessert One of my husband’s favorite desserts is a chocolate swiss roll that we used to buy at a Japanese bakery on Robson street in downtown Vancouver.

Three weeks ago, she asked me to bake her a big macaron cake for her birthday. At that time, I was super busy with other events and I told her […]

Macaron Surprise! Cake
It was my friend’s housewarming party and she decided to have a potluck. As usual, I offer to bring the desserts. Not that I’m the baker in the group or anything but one thing is for sure, I’m definitely not the cook! I like bringing cakes to festivities because it always seem to bring people […]
