Pear Frenzy Part 2



Poached Pear Stuffed with Chocolate

Part 2 is finally here! We had so much fun baking with Nicole (bakemeblush) and our friend Jaclyn! Now we can finally say that we have poached pears! We have always wanted to try it, and when our mom came home with a bunch of pears, we took the opputunity! We decided to add the chocolate in the middle because who doesn't love a choclate surprise! I think every baker, at one point or another, needs to attempt to poach some pears! You just have to!

Pear Frenzy Part 1

Pear Crumble
Mmm Mmm Mmm. That pretty much sums up my feelings toward this crumble! I am a crumble lover, the oats and brown sugar, the crumble, the sweetness, how can you not fall in love! I especially love the nutmeg and pear together, they make a good pear (you knew there was going to be puns!) But if you're a cinnamon lover just make a switch! I would really like to thank my cousin Nicole who helped us bake and who took these fantastic pictures! I would also like to thank my Uncle Sal who provided us with these Mini Cocottes !

Mini Molten Chocolate Cocottes

Heavenly. I think that's this is the only word that I can use to describe this dessert. This looks like an ordinary chocolate cake, but on the inside, it's filled with light and fluffy mousse. The best part about it is that it was SO EASY! It is to die for DELICIOUS!

Biscotte al Café

This is definitely our go-to chocolate cookie recipe, but it is so much more than just chocolate. The mix between the espresso and chocolate give it the dense texture it needs but the lemon icing...SPEECHLESS! We hope you enjoy our secret family recipe!

A Trip to the Apple Orchard


On this Thanksgiving weekend, I went to an apple orchard with my friend Madison and obviously, I had to make a delicious apple dessert. I decided to make an apple turn over cake inspired by my cousin Angie! This cake is so moist and flavored with cinnamon and sugar, perfect for Thanksgiving! For any cinnamon and brown sugar lovers out there, this one is for you!

Bring Me to the Caramel Fiesta

This is, and will always be, our ABSOLUTE favourtie dessert of all time! When we were younger, our mom would make this on our birthdays and even though we got presents, this was still our favourite part of the day. This caramel flan is creamy, light and sweet. And trust us, this has an aftertaste you will want left in your mouth!
