Join me on my quest of making homemade treats with less sugar!
Here’s a cake I made for our family gathering over the weekend. I paired up lychee and raspberry for a sweet and tart combination as well as a beautiful contrast of colour. I was trying to add a hint of rose flavour too, but my kids didn’t like the flavour after a taste test so... Continue Reading →
Here’s the recipe for a layer cake that I made for my daughter’s birthday in June. The cake layer is super soft and fluffy and I used an extra tall pastry ring to help me with the layering. It is recommended that you use a scale to weigh the amount of mousse for each layer.... Continue Reading →
I bought a new Silikomart mold from Amazon in March and made a mousse log for hubby’s birthday. The base unit of this mold is of hard plastic and two silicon mat inserts, one smooth and one textured, are included. The 3D effect of the stars was absolutely stunning and I really loved it. Honestly... Continue Reading →
I don't have much to write about this cake as it is quite simple. But I do want to share with you a general technique for mousse cake construction that is tidy and neat. I use chiffon cake for my mousse cake. My cake layers are super light, soft and fluffy. To prevent them from... Continue Reading →

I usually use Mexican Ataulfo mangoes for my dessert but there is no guarantee that you will have access to fresh mango at peak ripeness every time. When this time hits, canned mango pulp comes in handy. I made a few mousse cakes with Kesar mango pulp in April and was very pleased with both... Continue Reading →

Mirror glazed cakes have a stunning effect that can always impress your guests but, believe it or not, they are not hard to make at all! All you need is a frozen cake and a bowl of warm glaze (of course plus other simple... Continue Reading →
We just had a family gathering on Sunday and I’ve made two cakes, one of which was this chocolate Charlotte. French Charlotte russe is a cold dessert. The mold is first lined with finger-shaped sponge cake or ladyfingers lightly soaked in syrup. It is then filled with mousse, Bavarian cream, and/or fresh fruits. After half... Continue Reading →
This was the birthday cake that I made for myself. The outside was wrapped with a thin layer of almond sponge cake. Inside of the cake were layers of coffee chiffon, dark chocolate mousse, coffee gelee, salted caramel mousse and chocolate glaze. We were rushing to a restaurant for dinner so I didn’t have enough...

I made this mousse cake for my friend’s dad last week. This green tea mousse is the only mousse cake that contains raw egg yolks. The yolks make the green tea mousse richer in taste. For the sake of health, I always heat the yolk mixture to the egg safe temperature. I have made another... Continue Reading →
