If you asked me what is the one thing I love baking and photographing more than anything else I would not even hesitate for a moment to tell you that I love creating cookie boxes. What started as a Christmas gifting themed blog post became a full-blown butter-forward, sugar-dusted, jam-filled obsession hobby. I no longer need a special occasion to build a cookie box — I would make a cookie box on a normal Saturday, I would make one at 11:53pm, and I would definitely make one if my order of cute cookie cutters arrive on a weekday afternoon.

Lately, the types of cookie box that I have been obsessed with are these small and delicate cookie tins that I keep seeing on Japanese blogs and Pinterest boards. What I mean by obsessed is that upon seeing a few of these tins and starting a pin board dedicated to these boxes, I ordered a couple of Japanese baking books that focus on the art of creating cookie tins despite not being able to read any of the text. What I love most about these small Japanese cookie tins compared to the larger festive ones that I have made in the past is that they are so unassuming. They are extremely unassuming on the outside but when you open the small metal tin, there is a great assortment of crisp buttery cookies arranged artfully and compactly.

Instead of sharing a recipe, I wanted to share some inspiration for creating your own cute everyday cookie tin. Most of these Japanese cookie tins feature a variety of classic sablés and shortbread cookies, crisp chocolate cookies, and cute cookies in the shape of animals or well-known cartoon characters. For my box, I made some whipped shortbread piped with an open-star tip, sandwich/linzer cookies, shortbread, and buttery Miffy character cookies for the cute element. I then placed all my cookies compactly in an old cookie tin. There is no ‘correct’ way to make and arrange these tins, so I hope these cookie tins serve as some inspiration for you to make your own.

Happy baking!

blueberry lilac no-bake cheesecake ✨ this lilac blueberry lilac no-bake cheesecake ✨

this lilac blueberry cheesecake is made with lilacs from my parents backyard. the base is made with ritz crackers — it’s sweet and salty, yum. the cheesecake uses the same recipe as my no-bake cherry blossom cheesecake but we added some homemade blueberry compote into the cheesecake and jelly layers for flavour and colour.

i love this cheesecake so much because it’s creamy and light, it’s like biting into a cloud. after it has set (i recommend overnight), cut a big slice and enjoy the fleeting lilac season before it slips away.

indoor girlie 🤝 elderflower season i might not indoor girlie 🤝 elderflower season

i might not be the biggest fan of nature, but elderflower season can convince me to spend a good chunk of time rummaging through tall bushes in the middle of the night (read: 1am). i used the lemon ricotta cupcake recipe from my book and topped the cupcakes with swiss meringue buttercream flavoured with a bit of lemon juice and homemade elderflower syrup.

fresh giant mango mochi 🥭 i knowwwwww i just m fresh giant mango mochi 🥭

i knowwwwww i just made mango mochi not too long ago, and i knowwwwww everyone is making it but i found the most perfect tree-ripen mango so we had to do it again! the mochi only requires three ingredients (pantry ingredients for me). the mango mochi comes together in a couple of minutes so it’s the perfect last minute dessert or snack. you know where you can find the recipe (psssst. the blog!!)
