It’s been too long since I’ve baked a Croatian treat! One of the things I love most about Croatian desserts is the layering – you’ll find that so many of these desserts are delicately layered, beautiful bars and some are airy and creamy. Today I’m baking Ledene Kocke which is known as Chocolate Ice Squares. Continue reading “Croatian Chocolate Ice Squares (Ledene Kocke)”
As I mentioned in my Chocolate Soufflé post, my intentions in 2017 are to bake things I’ve never attempted before… recipes that take true patience and presence… like French Macarons!
In Chicago, there are cute little Macaron shops all over the city showcasing unique flavor combinations and pretty pastel colors. I’m sure they are a big hit during Valentine’s Day!

Being that I’m new to the blogging world, she’s been happy to answer questions and share her own experiences that have really helped me so far!

When she gave me these mini cakes, the first thing I thought of was “0mg, I can do so many fun decorating things with these”, then I thought “these would make for an awesome bread pudding dessert too”. Continue reading “Bauli Cake Bread Pudding with Lemon Curd”
In 2017, my new baking intentions are to try things I’ve never baked before. I have been wanting to make a chocolate soufflé FOREVER – and today I finally did!

One of Aaron and I’s favorite desserts to order together when we go out to eat are molten lava cakes/soufflés…they are chocolate heaven, so I decided to create something similar for us to share together today. Continue reading “Chocolate Soufflé”
