Bailey Layer Cake
My recipe for a delicious layer cake with raspberry mousse and chocolate ganache. The cake is made with Bailey's in both the ganache and buttercream, providing a lovely soft and creamy Bailey's flavor to the cake. I used the original Bailey's, but feel free to try one of the many other variants, such as Bailey's with caramel.
Strawberry Pie
A classic strawberry tart with a crispy shortcrust pastry base, sweet almond filling, airy pastry cream, and fresh strawberries on top. A delightful summer tart, perfect for coffee or the dessert table. In this recipe, I use a tart ring to bake the shortcrust pastry, which makes it extra crispy and beautiful. If you don't have a tart ring, you can also use a springform pan or a regular tart pan. However, this will make the shortcrust pastry less crispy, as it won't get air circulating around the edges.
