Easy Chocolate Tart
Your weekly chocolate fix in the form of an easy chocolate tart is right here. It stays for days in the fridge, not that it will actually last that long. The simple ganache filling is elevated to an untimate showstopper standard by the addition of dark chocolate decorations which are nothing but melted chocolate, set in beautiful molds. The easy chocolate tart is simpler than it looks and tastier than it sounds. A slice of this tart is the perfect treat you gift to yourself after a hard week of labour. You deserve it! The filling can be customised to your taste by a variety of options. Add orange zest or lemon zest for a citrus-y finish, a tsp of instant coffee powder for a mocha twist, fold in nuts or berries for a delicious bite. It's totally left to your imagination. If you'd like a no-bake tart, you could use a biscuit crust for the base instead of a baked crust. A store bought ready crust is also fine. For the decorations, you could use white or milk chocolate as well or a combination. If you love chocolate as much as I do, you should check out this Chocolate, almond and strawberry cake or this Chocolate Mousse Cake Easy Chocolate Tart Makes an 8 … Read More
Coffee Mousse Cake
How much do you love coffee? Would you be willing to replace your morning espresso with a slice of this decadent Coffee Mousse cake? Because where a rich, creamy mousse is involved, it's hard to say no. To sweeten the pot, the coffee mousse cake is topped with a fluffy cocoa spiked whipped cream and coffee bean chocolates that are also made at home. The coffee mousse cake involves no baking and is pretty easy to put together. You just have to pay attention the first time when you're making a mousse. After that it gets easier because you know exactly what to expect at every step. The coffee bean shaped chocolate mold is by far the most popular item in my store ( on the menubar) at the moment. Don't they look real? And it's just plain dark chocolate. It's finally started to feel like Autumn in Sydney. Until 3 days ago, we were complaning about the extreme heat during the day but now with school holidays, we will finally get to visit the locations with colour changing leaves. I know a lot of you are in fact experiencing spring on the other side. The great thing though is that a coffee mousse cake can be made and enjoyed irrespective of the seasons or the weather.

Mini Black Sesame Cake
A mini black sesame cake or cakes have everything in them that makes you want to go back for seconds. They are nutty, warm, the swirls are striking to look at when you cut a cross section and they're mini, indivudial sized portions. What is not to love, right? Though it doesn't look like it, the mini black sesame cake is actually really simple to make. The swirl is made from the same batter so it's only a matter of mixing black seasme powder into a part of a vanilla batter. Black sesame powder can be found in supermarkets and asian stores or you could make your own by gringing black seasme seeds in a grinder or mortal and pestle. To make these, I've used my favourite molds that provide a beautiful shape to the cakes. You can find them at my store under Mousse and Cake Molds. You also use any round or hemisphere mold.
