Continuing with my Fantastic Feasts series and in celebration of Valentine’s Day, I am making some Dark Chocolate Raspberry Earl Grey Cookies inspired Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. These cookies are laced with the most powerful love potion in the world – Amortentia. Known to cause powerful infatuation or obsession, and you will definitely be obsessed with these cookies!
To celebrate Harry Potter’s 20th Anniversary, I am creating some Fantastic Feasts by cooking my way through the whole Harry Potter series. We are starting my Fantastic Feasts series with Harry Potter’s 11th Birthday Cake, as seen in Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. This is a simple one bowl, rich chocolate birthday cake with a mess of sweet buttercream frosting all over it that’s rustic decorating job gives it an authentic charm.
Inspired by Haikyu!! I’m making a Karasuno roll cake! This show is so amazing and I love it so much, I wanted to make a fun treat to capture the “Fly High” spirit of some of the best anime boys! I made a light and fluffy vanilla cake with a chocolate whipped cream filling, made black by using activated charcoal. Gotta get those Karasuno colors! The cake was really fun to design/decorate, it was easy to make, and was really tasty. I put Hinata Shoyo getting ready for a perfect spike on it, the Karasuno “Fly High”, and their iconic crows on this cake. Taking the extra time to pipe out the design was honestly not that hard, and made for a really unique and fun cake. Totally happy with how that came out!
Inspired by Jujutsu Kaisen, I’m making Gojo Sensei’s Kikufuku! These mochi are stuffed with a delicious whipped cream and Zunda, a sweetened edamame paste. The dough is soft and chewy, the zunda has a sweet and earthy flavour, and the whipped cream came out perfectly! I used a bit of the vanilla bean paste that I brought back from Japan and it was a real game changer (so if you can get your hands on some, it’s totally worth it!). This Kikufuku transported me back to walking around Nara, Japan, freshly pounded mochi in hand. So I’d call this a win!
Matcha Mochi Cake with fresh Raspberries. This cake is chewy from the Mochiko (glutinous rice flour), earthy from the Matcha (Japanese green tea powder), tart from the fresh raspberries, and sweet from the white chocolate in the glaze. What’s there not to like?! This recipe is super easy to make, looks pretty, and whips up quickly!
Inspired by Sakura season in Japan, these gluten free Baked Strawberry Donuts are moist, chewy and bursting with fresh strawberry flavour. They are simple and kawaii, bringing the spring flavours and aesthetic of the beautiful cafes in Japan, to your home!
Inspired by Starbucks Japan, these Matcha White Chocolate Scones are flavourful and delicious. Combining the earthy matcha flavour with sweet white chocolate, makes for a perfectly balanced bite. It is seriously easy to eat the whole tray yourself!
Inspired by Attack on Titan, these are some seriously tasty, warm and spiced gingerbread cookies shaped like members of the Survey Corps. Just try holding yourself back from chomping their heads and legs off like a proper Titan would!
I don’t know about you but I believe that Fridays following cold and dreary weeks call for some sweet goodness. So here you go! Pumpkin Pie Bars With A Brown Butter Cinnamon Maple Glaze. I love simple and tasty recipes like this one! Especially with thanksgiving coming very soon and Christmas closing in, we need goodies like these in our arsenal.
