You may not know, but I live in a country called Hungary. My family and I are missionaries. Since we live in Europe there are so many possibilities to visit nearby! Last summer we drove to Italy! Recently, prices were crazy, so for my moms birthday we went to Paris for 4 days and itContinue reading “French Génoise Cake”

This cake is amazing! The coffee is a subtle flavor, but if you let a bite linger in your mouth you can taste it a lot more! And the coffee really brings out the chocolate flavor. It truly is beautiful with my raspberry/strawberry frosting!! This recipe is from my all-time favorite cookbook, Cake Magic byContinue reading “Chocolate Mocha cake/bundt cake/cupcakes, a Cake Magic edition”

This recipe is beyond amazing, it even works well gluten free! And its not overly sweet when balanced with the perfect tartness of the glaze. When it comes to baking loaves like this one, and other desserts, always make sure you don’t skip anything, trust me, it doesn’t work well. Like ‘at room temperature’, ‘addContinue reading “Glazed Lemon Pound Cake Loaf”

This recipe super good, although its not a pipeable frosting as you can see in the picture below. Just use a spoon and drizzle or pour it on! It is a little over-sweet, so I like it best on fruit cupcakes like apple or banana muffins. This recipe is from AllRecipes.com INGREDIENTS 2 tablespoons butterContinue reading “Caramel Frosting”

This recipe is THE BEST. We used to go to this amazing Japanese Hibachi restaurant where I used to live in the States. But now that we’ve moved, there aren’t any! So I found this amazing recipe on Pinterest/Facebook! We love to eat it on top of fried rice (rice, eggs, and soy sauce cookedContinue reading “Copycat YUM YUM Sauce”

This is the BEST peanut butter frosting recipe, ever! And trust me, I’ve tried many. I got the recipe from a cookbook that my Nana had but, sadly, we can’t remember which one. Also feel free to substitute any nut butter, I have been craving to try Cookie Butter! This frosting is very good alsoContinue reading “Fudgy Peanut Butter Frosting”

This recipe is AWESOME. And another plus, tons of the recipes in this cookbook (Cake Magic by Caroline Wright) are changeable! Meaning you can use different flavors. Better hold on tight, because this frosting will blow you away! While being a perfectly sweet topping on a chocolate cupcake, it is also not too sweet becauseContinue reading “Raspberry or Strawberry Frosting”

This recipe can be made into any flavor that you have a jam for! Its super good and easy! If you can’t find a seedless version of your preferred jam, its okay because I can’t always find it either and it doesn’t really matter so long as you strain the syrup after it steeps. AlsoContinue reading “Fruit Simple Syrup”

This may seem intimidating and just another thing on your list to do to prepare a dessert, but trust me IT’S WORTH IT. I highly recommend using syrups for gluten free cakes to prevent them from getting too dry, but I also use them for regular cakes. Here’s how to do it: Cakes; Prepare yourContinue reading “How to Apply Simple Syrups to cakes, cupcakes, and bundt cakes”

So you can use this cake mix for any cake recipe that says “a Cake Magic edition”, and it’ll work. But you can NOT use any other cake mix or combination of flours and stuff, besides these two.
