This is what I made for my dad’s birthday in December (yes I know it’s already end of March now). There is actually nothing new about this cake but a combination of different things I’ve made before.

I made this no-bake cheesecake for my sister and my friend’s daughter recently. Unlike my other No-Bake Strawberry Cheesecake recipe which is made with fresh strawberries puree, I first turned my fresh strawberries into a coulis before blending it with cream cheese. I even used the same coulis to make a glaze. The result? A … Continue reading No Bake Strawberry Cheesecake with Strawberry Glaze 士多啤梨芝士凍餅配士多啤梨鏡面
I am running low on my favorite Ghirardelli unsweetened cocoa powder so I have to use it sparingly until I travel to the States next time (ya so sad that it is no longer available in Canada).

This gluten-free chiffon cake is an adaption from my Orange Chiffon Cake and I have to say that it tastes as light and fluffy as any chiffon cake made with wheat flour! Chiffon cake does not rely on gluten but beaten egg whites to help it rise. So if you could whip a gorgeous meringue … Continue reading Gluten-Free Tangerine Chiffon Cake 無麩質柑橘戚風蛋糕
