Cake Pops
These are the result of my first attempt of making cake pops. It was a nightmare! I made them the old school way and made a chocolate cake, crumbled it, mixed everything with jelly and then formed the cake pops. But these horrible pops kept falling from the stick into the chocolate! From originally 32, only 15 made it into the bouquet of cake pops for my friends birthday!:)

Fruity Pastry
I made these shortcrust pastries for our today's visitors, my grandparents. I made the base yesterday evening, since shortcrust pastry is better the day after. These tiny tarts are filled with a low fat vanilla cream and topped with banana, raspberries, grapes and mango.
Dark Chocolate Cupcakes
So, I made these cupcakes with the help of Nigella Lawson! I used her devils food cake recipe and they came out perfectly! I never in my whole live had a cake that was as moist as these little fellas. However, I made a different topping than Nigella Lawson, this one is buttercream and a lot of vanilla.
Homemade Macarons
After making my own Macarons I can say it is quite easy! I just needed, let's say, like four attempts and since then they always come out perfectly! These ones are filled with a ganache made of dark chocolate.
Snowballs
Since these guys are covered in cream I called them 'snowballs'. Every time a friend comes over I make something nice for them. So, I made these for a pregnant friend, the dough is marzipan flavoured and filled with some cherries, the topping is just cream and some cracked nuts.
Crumble
So this is a little crumble. Usually they have a sugary icing on top, but I made some with white chocolate as well. Even though, they seem simple, the process of baking these is really time-consuming, since, the base is made with yeast.
Rosie chocolate cake
My cousin loves to eat cake and sweets and everything sugary, so I made her this little thing. It's chocolate all over, inside and outside. The dough is with a lot of cocoa and it is also filled with a chocolate buttercream. The only thing that isn't made of chocolate are these little marzipan roses, which I made myself, and it's really easy though ...
Cookies
Okay, I have to confess, these are some of our Christmas cookies, but these shortcrust pastry cookies filled with jam are soooo good, no matter if there is snow outside or not.
Strawberry Cake
This time of the year we always make the first strawberry cake. It's my favourite cake in the world and it's always super delicious.
Blueberry Muffins
I made these blueberry muffins for a friend and I hope she liked them. I gave her these during her break at work.
Little hazelnut cakes
These are little cakes made with ground hazelnuts, apricot jelly and chocolate topping. I made them for my auntie after a long day at work. The recipe is from my grandma and she's been making it for years. I can't think of any family festivity without this cake.
Chocolate Cupcakes
From today on this blog is all about cakes and sweets. Since baking is my favourite thing in the world I'm gonna share my creations here.
