Coffee Break = tiramisu = creme caramel


Delicious Creme Caramel. Fluffy Tiramisu. Huge Coffee. All things you want to have on a Saturday morning with family. When the creme caramel came to the table, my first thoughts were, "that is a huge piece.." What you see there, is not even compared to in reality. Delicious nonetheless. I'm not a fan of tiramisu but my sister really enjoyed it. Every Saturday is a trip to the market, followed by eating some yummy jerk chicken, rice and peas and fried plaintains with a side of coleslaw, a childhood memory. Then a trip to the Asian store and to here, Nova Era Bakery.. all things that seem normal to me and have become a part of the daily routine of a typical Saturday!

Spanish and Chocolate


Both a great combo!
I'm studying Spanish for my trip to Malaga, Spain and let me tell you, that itself can be frustrating. Learning a new language is one heck of a challenge. (demasiado mucho!!!) I've got the basics down like "Hola", "muy bien", gracias, que hora es?
I took a mild break and started to make some chocolates. Then it hit me to learn how to say all the different types of fillings in Spanish! ***fantástica***
I made caramel fillings, dark chocolate spice, hazelnut mousse, and a lindor version of chocolate. smooth creamy ganache.
YUm! until next post..
