Asian-Inspired

When I first started my baking journey, making Asian-inspired treats was never my priority. I grew up eating mochi and mooncakes, so why would I want to make them. I’ve also always though that these treats were not as “fancy” and not things you would see at fancy bakeshops and patisseries. Fast forward a few years, my nostalgia for the sweets I ate growing up has increased tenfold and more importantly, I realized that a dessert doesn’t need to be many layers of genoise, buttercream, pastry to be “fancy” and delicious. Asian treats are some of my favourite things to make and eat it now and I’m so excited to share my take on the sweets I ate growing up. I love the Easy Sugared (Tanghulu-style) Strawberries, White Rabbit Candy Cupcakes, and this box of Chinese New Year Cookies. In the last 2 – 3 years, I’ve been working hard on perfect my mooncakes and these are my favourite ones so far: Kabocha Salted Egg Yolk Mooncakes with Sago Pearls.

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!!)
