Sharing some recent cakes that I made, of course just for inspiration! Two of them were chocolate cakes with chocolate buttercream and one was vanilla with whipped cream combined with a little buttercream just for some texture. …
Strawberry Recipes
Berry Crepe Cake
Berry Crepe Cake, doesn’t that sound berrylicious? It sure is. Ahh, I haven’t had fresh berries in forever, well not since the summer.
Hubby went shopping in the States and saw these organic strawberries and raspberries so he got me some…so sweet!
I was so excited and couldn’t decide on how to enjoy them. I didn’t want to just eat them, I wanted to make something fabulous! …
Strawberry Milkshake
I hosted a dessert party on my Facebook fan page last week, I had my kids vote and pick which they wanted me to make and feature it on my blog. We had a tie! This one came from Joan from chocolatechocolateandmore! Her Birthday Cake Milkshakes won my kids over! …
Strawberry Rhubarb Cobbler
The end of the strawberry season is here! It’s a short season and I try to make the best of it, this year I found a new love for strawberry and rhubarb! I really love the combination of the two, it’s a bit sweet and a bit tart. Rhubarb is really sour so you do need to use a lot of sugar to sweeten it up, the strawberries if sweet help with that.
I asked my kids how they wanted to use up the last of the strawberries and they said they wanted something baked. I made a strawberry rhubarb pie not to long ago so I wanted to try something else. I was split between a crisp and cobbler. I ended up making a cobbler, it turned out amazing, I used cornstarch for the filling instead of flour, it made for a nice glossy filling. …
Strawberry Cheese Swirls
I had about a cup worth of strawberries left from the season, I did make a cobbler last night with strawberries and rhubarb and what was left of the strawberries I decided to bake something instead of freezing the rest! I did get to make some freezer jam with the other quarts of strawberries and that is what I used in these swirls, that is why the jam is noticeably fresh and bright.
I had hoped to make these with ricotta but didn’t have any and was not leaving the house in this weather. I did have cream cheese and so I thought it work and I was right, it did work and tasted great! My mom and daughter Sara went crazy over them, trust me when I say these two are the pickiest people around, it was a great compliment to me that they enjoyed it so much! …
Strawberry Rhubarb Pie
I had 4 cups of cut of rhubarb, which I thought would be enough but the pan I used I guess was deep and it just didn’t look like enough filling….I had some strawberries so I sliced them up and mixed them in with the rhubarb…
Berry Puffs
When I was a kid I I used to go home for lunch, but on some days I would stay and on those days I would find a little treat in my bag, it usually was a strawberry flakie! I usually would pick Napoleon or Mille-feuille at the bakery, I love anything made with puff pastry, custard and cream.

Watermelon & Strawberry Lemonades
Its summer time! Summer drinks are here, I did not always like lemonade but I have grown to love it! I think as a kid I found it way to sour. I didn’t even like lemons in general and now I have to have lemons in my kitchen all the time! Isn’t if funny how our tastes buds change over the years!
Cold watermelon is the best on a hot summers day. What is even better is drinking it…cools you right off! Just ask my hubby…he was working real hard in the yard the other day and I surprised him with one of these drinks. The combination of lemon & watermelon is wonderful! …
Strawberry Swirl Ice Cream
I scream…you scream….we all scream for ice cream! Finally that is the case now! I made an ice cream this weekend that we all can scream over!;) My kids loved it! I personally thought it was better than any store brand that I have ever tried! I know why, I made it with heavy cream….what a difference it makes when making ice cream!
I found organic heavy cream while on our shopping trip to the States! I found so many organic items….including a 10lb bag of organic sugar yay! Can’t wait for our next organic shopping adventure!…
Tea Time with My Girls
Its a beautiful day today, and I just felt like baking something…..the thought of strawberry and vanilla just made me happy! My girls and I made these treats and set up our backyard for tea time!…
