I’ve been obsessed with sourdough lately – so of course I had to try making croissants.
Pair that with beautiful locally grown macadamias and suddenly you get a flavour combo you’ve probably never tried before.
It’s not just another croissant.
It’s the croissant you didn’t know you were missing.
Imagine a summer day – sun on your face, a light breeze, and a juicy peach in your hand.
Now imagine it as a cake.
This is what this week’s cake felt like. A peachy tartlet made with locally grown macadamias and fresh local peaches as the star ingredients.
And yes, it tasted like summer.
This week’s cake is a French classic – the Fraisier. In France, it’s the cake of strawberry season, and I’ve been craving one for a little while. So, when I suddenly found local strawberries for sale (close to a miracle on this island!), I knew exactly what I had to bake.
Making the cake felt easy.
The piping on top… not so much.
Especially because this one was a surprise for someone very important to me.
