Swiss Buns

This sweet bread takes its name after a Spanish Café, this is not a Swiss bread recipe. I always loved them and since moving to Scotland I've been thinking about bake them myself, after a few tries with different recipes that went wrong (so very wrong) I found a recipe that works and I cannot be any happier. You can enjoy those buns plain, filled with cream cheese and jam or my favourite ham and cheese. They are delicious anyway you eat them :)

Banana and White Chocolate Cake

I made this cake a few times for a couple of coffee shops in Glasgow and Edinburgh but I always forget to make a photo to upload to the blog, but yesterday I remembered just in time before I went out to deliver it.

This cake is super sweet, it has two banana sponges and a white chocolate buttercream to die for :)

Asturian pie

This is a traditional pie from a Northern region in Spain called Asturias (where I came from), as the weather is quite cold the food is strong and filling. This one is one of the best sellers, full of flavour and one of my favourites. It is filled with cook ham, chorizo, boiled eggs and a homemade tomato sauce, of course the pastry is homemade too. Usually I make a large one than can be cut in portions but a shop in Edinburgh asked me to make them individuals and here is the result. Hope you enjoy.

 

Chocolate and Vanilla Buttercream Cake

This cake was for a birthday, the kids wanted the same cake that I bake for them two years ago, I was so please that they remembered about it :)

It's a 3 layer chocolate cake with really fluffy vanilla buttercream, simple and delicious.

If you want the recipe let me know xx

Bear Claws

After trying some Danish pastry dough recipes, at last I found one that actually works!! The recipe is from the book "Mastering the Art of Baking" and I was so happy that decided to bake Bear Claws, I never bake them before but I was really happy with the finish product, really tasty :)

Oreo and Nutella Cheesecake

This Cheesecake is so yummy I cannot stop myself from eating a huge portion everytime I make it.
The base is made with oreos, there are more oreos in the middle mixed with the cheese and the cream and more oreos on top of the cheesescake, to make this cake to totally die for I mix part of the cheese and the cream with nutella... simply irresistible.

Matcha and White Chocolate Cake

Today I decided to bake a Matcha and White Chocolate cake following the recipe from the "Tokyo Cult Recipes" and I have to say that it's good. I was not really sure before I put the tin in the oven because as I said on Facebook I was not sure if I would get a cake or the Incredible Hulk :D but I was not disapointed.This is the third recipe I try from this book and I am loving it, so far all the recipes are really well explained and work!! I cannot say the same from other books. The result is a quite dense cake which taste like white chocolate (my favourite chocolate) :)
