Opera cake is a layered sponge cake that represents the opera house with its beautiful gold accents. This delicious cake is infused with coffee and rum and each layer has a wonderful taste that melts in your mouth. Very easy to make and gorgeous presentation. Definitely a crowd pleaser.

Challah Bread Loaf

This is my first braided loaf and I can’t complain at my results. Turned out so well my daughter requested we make more for some French Toast.

I’ve seen so many beautiful braids on here that have inspired me. Can’t wait to make more!

Semolina Orange Cake
What about it? Nothing because today, after a long sleepless night looking at how much better my work can be, I signed up for !!
I’ve been putting it off not just because I’m already in school full time but simply because I never felt it was the right time. Excuse after excuse. Well we all know, it’s never the right time.
No more excuses. This trip has super motivated me to do better for myself. To work on my potential. No more feeling bad for myself. I’m doing this! Can’t wait to get back home and get started. Im ready for my Don’t believe me? Just watch!

Happy Friday!
My favorite dessert ever, Creme Bruleeeee!! I can eat this all day. It’s so smooth and rich and soft and sweet and crunchy all at the same time. Yum!
I got these cute ramekins on Amazon because I was tired of always using the regular round ones and I’m glad I did because it levels this custard up. And how cute are these little expresso spoons? ⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

Vanilla Soufflé 🤫
It’s almost Friday and vacation starts tomorrow. These have been the busiest school weeks for me. Going away means I had to triple my work load to get assignment done beforehand. Baking for fun? No problem. Baking recipes I’ve never done before and getting them right on the first try? CHAOTIC and quite messy. But I’m finally done. Just a few photography shots today and kitchen closed! Now who’s going to eat all of these sweets?! 😆

Vanilla Flan 🍮
I was excited when I was told I could use my own recipe and not the school one for this assignment. Although I did do the original one first, the serving size was small and I got a paper thin result. I did it again using carnation milk and condensed milk like I usually do and this was the result. Still thin as per the vessel I used but much more presentable! I’m happy with my outcome as I prefer creamy flan versed dense.

Super easy and yummy Brazilian treat, Brigadeiros.
1 pan, 15 minute cook time then roll, chill and add toppings. Simple ingredients are sweet condensed milk, chocolate (100%), salt, butter ans vanilla. I added coconut shreds, cocoa, pecans, walnuts and chocolate jimmies (sprinkles). They’re soft and silky but very sweet so proceed with caution! Bom Proveito!
