Gingerbread roll cake

December 23, 2012 by Roxana 30 Comments

Moist gingerbread roll cake filled with spiced creamy filling. A delicious twist on the traditional Christmas gingerbread cake I remember watching mom rolling up, using a damp tea towel, the pan-sheet cake she just took out of the oven. We were too small and could not understand where she had hidden the filling since we…

December 21, 2012 by Roxana 14 Comments

Velvety ricotta cheesecake mixed with crushed peppermint candy and topped with a layer of white chocolate ganache, Christmas candy and sprinkles. Years ago, before I had Tiffany you’d find me in the local bookstore with a book, a coffee and a sweet treat. It was a nice way to enjoy an afternoon, get out of…

A brioche like bread, rich from the butter and eggs with a soft crumb this dried fruit swirl bread baked around the holidays Today’s post is hard to write. I’ve had a couple of attempts but after few short sentences the teary eyes forced me to think of something else. I’m a very emotional person…

Sweet, soft and fluffy yeast dried fruit bread made with cream cheese and dusted with powder sugar for Christmas breakfast or brunch When I first had the #25recipestoXmas idea I thought I’d share a week filled with holiday loaves of bread.

Eggnog cupcakes with chocolate cream cheese frosting

December 15, 2012 by Roxana 18 Comments

Last year it was the first time I tried eggnog. I wasn’t sure what to expect but I wasn’t impress. I didn’t feel it was something I see myself drinking while chatting with my friends and family and having a great time. But I love baking with eggnog. I love the nutmeg sweet flavor it gives to baked goods. I have tried…

Greek Yogurt Pound Bundt Cake

December 12, 2012 by Roxana 45 Comments

Say “hello” to my very first successful bundt cake. Yes, I just said successful. For others removing the cake might seem like a breeze, for me it was a deal-breaker. I’ve tried lots times and different tricks to remove the cake from the pan without a piece of two stuck to the pan. At one time I had given…

Today’s Christmas dessert is brought by Kate of Diethood.
