Cottage cheese Cake with nectarine

Hi Dears,

I have 2 months till my final exam at my pastry school, and I still have some pastries, cakes, and creams to practice.

Last week I baked two of them, neros (which are little soft biscuits filled with jam - you can have the recipe in my following post) and this Cottage cheese cake. 

We celebrated my fiancé's grandma's Name Day as well, so the cake was my gift to her. :)

I am short in time as now I have a full time job, and at home we are under a home renovation. 

If I had more time I would cover the cake side with cream and maybe cover it with almonds, it would make the cake even more beautiful and would give a finished look. Anyway, I didn't bake it, just to look at it, we cut it right away, I took it from the fridge, and believe me it was tasty! In this hot summer it was great refreshment as we cooled it for 3 hours in the fridge.

Confectionery studies - 10th week

Hi Dears!

I haven't posted of the last 5 weeks of my studies, as this period was so busy with all the Holidays, exams and working in the Café.

But now I will show you the details, because these courses were really exciting, and I learnt many many tasty desserts.

This is the second post about cakes. We learnt 7 different cakes that day. (I haven't got the chance to make a photo of the 7th, as it was quickly cut and we ate it... :) ) 

Yogurt & Chocolate cake 2 in 1

Hi! :)

As I promised I brought the recipe of this yin-yang cake I baked last time! 

To be honest, I haven't decided yet, if I like the result or not. 

I wanted to make something different, than usual, something more interesting, and I think it worked. :)

Untill the yogurt solidified with the gelatin, I had placed a baking sheet in the middle to separate it from the chocolate part.

It needed a night to cool in the fridge.

I baked this for my father's, my brother's and for my birthdays, as we celebrated together. :)

Cherry or Chocolate sponge cake

Hello Dears,

Look what a spongy, moist cake pieces I brought you today! :)

Sorry for not posting for a while, but if you work in hotel industry, you know weekends are on weekdays, and usually you get the two days separately, so I usually have a good sleep, do some household duties, watch some shows on TV, (of course recipe, food channels are the favorites of mine..) and the day is over... 

But don't worry, I didn't stop baking, just I am a bit late with posting these.

+ We are in another project besides the usual, we are looking for cute, small flats with my fiance. 

This will be our very first own property, so it's really exciting.

 (And tiring also, but it should be, right?)

Now let me introduce a bit this cake. It is a tricky cake, as I hided mashed peaches in the cake batter. :) It made it extra tasty, and soft. 

And even my boyfriend didn't recognize it, as he doesn't like any fruits in cakes. 

(That was the reason I made the cake half chocolaty, and the other half  with cherries, because I do love them in pastries, so everyone could enjoy the cake)

Peach cake with marzipan coverage

Hi Dears,

So I'm back from our 3-day-long holiday, we were at Lake Balaton, as You might know it from our FB page (where we can meet almost everyday, come and join :) ) 

But, before that we celebrated my Mother's birthday, and I baked here a light, summertime Peach cake. I covered it with yellow marzipan, and decorated it with marzipan flowers that I cut out with my new flower mold fondant cutters. 

(I ordered it from ebay, 4 pieces for just 1 dollar or so, and they make life so much easier, I love them. :) )

Peachy Yogurt Cake

Hello Darlings! :)

How is Your Summer lately? Mine is really busy. 

I haven't got too much time to enjoy the vacation after my last semester, as my trainee program have begun. But no complaint, it's very useful, and my colleagues are sweet and helpful. Only I have to study the methods as soon as I can, and it can be real confusing sometimes, but I  try to do my best. :) Yoda would say: "Do or Do not. There is no try." So fingers crossed. :D

But baking remained my favourite hobby , so here's a tasty, spongy, fruity, refreshing cake. Enjoy! :)

Sacher Cake with apricots

Hello Summer! :) 

I wake up on the first morning of summer with a great smile on my face every year. I just love this season, and even if the weather is not so sunny, it always starts with a great happening, as my Mother's Name Day is on the 1th of June. 

This year she wanted me to bake her a Sacher cake, so this yummy cake needed to happen. :D 

This time I searched the original recipe from Vienna, and followed that, with a little change as I decorated it with apricots.

The cake is seriously yummy, with a lot of chocolate inside, it's worth to try! :D

Peachy Cottage cheese Pie

Did You have an important moment in Your life that counted a lot? I'm sure You did. Like graduation, the moment you decided where to study, the day of your marriage, or when You won the lottery. :D Ok, that's not so common. :) So, I'm speaking of life changing moments... For me these times like that. 

 I'm nearly at the end of my BSc studies, and an internship is waiting for me to do, starting from this summer. The question is just, where? I'm going to interviews, these times, I hope I made the right impressions on them. :) But it's just so exciting, please cheer for me, I really want to be the chosen one. (not like Harry Potter :D )

I need some comfort food, when I'm nervous, so this pie was one of them. :) It was really delicious, springy, light some.
