Strawberry Creme Danishes

My mom had leftover puff pastry so we decided it was time for strawberry danishes. This is also one of the easiest and best things I've made. The pastry dough is tricky though — try not to roll out the dough too much or add too much flour. Strawberries are always amazing on danishes and was the available fruit at the time but the original recipe called for figs. 

Persian Love Cookies

This was an attempt at Persian Love Cookies from a new cookbook I received called Pastry Love by Joanne Chang.

Chocolate Brioche

I made chocolate brioche on Eid ul Adha and while it does take a while, it's one of the best things I've made. As is the trend lately, all my recipes are from Joanne Chang's cookbooks.

Peony Season

This is a classic vanilla cake, with dark chocolate chips and a hint of coffee for a client's bridal shower. Halfway into making it, I spent the longest time looking for the right flowers for this and decided to go with a few peony stems (might I add these were $3!!!)

If I had an engagement/nikkah cake it would look something like this.
