Charles has been making raspberry jasmine ice cream, so I decided to “borrow” (read: steal) his idea and turn this flavor combination into a mousse cake. ????

I first came across an Instagram recipe for Earl Grey matcha tiramisu, and since jasmine tea is one of my favorite teas, I decided to give it my own twist and use jasmine instead. Surprisingly, this is such a straightforward dessert to make! It’s definitely not a traditional tiramisu as the cream does not have egg. But it’s just as delicious, with the earthy matcha balanced by the fragrant jasmine tea.

If you’re staring at leftover Halloween pumpkins and feeling guilty about tossing them, while also thinking about what to bring to the Thanksgiving dessert table, I’m right there with you. That’s exactly how this easy Pumpkin Basque Cheesecake comes to rescue the day! It’s simple, cozy, and lets the pumpkin really shine.

Friend planned to propose on July 4th and hence made these heart shape mousse for the first time! Recipe is not optimized so needs to keep refining.

Housewarming gift for friends who like citrusy and chocolate cake flavors. Thought about making Valencia cake (orange and chocolate flavor) at first, but since I have a jar of fig jam and a box of fresh fig, pivoted to make a fig & chocolate cake instead. However, Fig & chocolate crisp bottom is so “chocolate” heavy, completely covering the fig flavor, I decided to make the other layers fig flavor rather than chocolate + fig flavors, and only have a mirror glaze of pure chocolate flavor.

Tried a lot of delicious fig desserts when I travelled to France, so want to catch the season of fig and make a cake out of it to share with friends at our long-due reunion trip!

Friends made home-made pineapple jam, we also happened to have passionfruit jam from Costco, so decided to make a summer flavor cake in the spring! The passionfruit chiffon cake is very refreshing, in combination with the slightly sour passionfruit + pineapple jam to cancel out the guilt of enjoying cream!

It’s holiday season! Getting all whimsical about cakes with various flavors. I have never made strawberry jam before, so making the jam from scratch today to add flavors to my strawberry vanilla chiffon cake for a friendsgiving potluck! Gotta say the decoration did not go as expected.. it honestly rarely does.. ha

Matcha, Coconut and Red Bean are pretty common Asian dessert flavors. I have made a chiffon version of matcha, red bean cake with coconut frosting for friend’s engagement, decided to try to mousse cake version as well. Since I have never made a mousse cake before, decided to try for end of the year drink night with friend. The first try surprisingly still came out not bad! Except for the soggy bottom…

Having Malaysian Cooking Night with friends and decided to contribute a pandan cake roll to the group. To add more elements (flavors, textures, etc.) to the cake roll, I make two different flavors’ cake roll and whipping cream – Ube and Pandan, two classic south Asian flavors, also made coconut jelly for the first time! I guess the GBBO 2022 is coming to an end, I am again inspired to bake more!
