Strawberry Velure
Strictly Pastry has brought the widely known Strawberry Shortcake a step further—the addition of a strawberry mousse & a crunchy chocolate feuilletine(pronounced “foy-yuh-teen”) base which is an all-time favorite. With the delicacy of the strawberry mousse & fresh cream; the cotton-like texture of the chiffon sponge as well as the fragrance of hazelnut in the crunchy chocolate feuilletine base, this cake has certainly won the hearts of many, both young and old.
Black Devil
The best of both worlds—chocolate & cheese, but half the sin of a sinful chocolate cake & half the richness of a rich cheesecake. Reason? The cake is composed of a fluffy baked cheesecake with a cotton-like texture, surrounded by a layer of light, almost airy chocolate mousse. For those of you who can’t decide which to sink your teeth into, Strictly Pastry has just made life easier.
Green Tea Tiramisu
A light and refreshing tiramisu with a cultural twist – green tea, combined with candied chestnut for that extra sweetness & texture. The cake is layered with cottony green tea sponge doused with green tea sake syrup.
As we all know, anti-oxidants are good for us. And green tea happens to be rich in that plus it helps lower cholesterol. So, apart from satisfying that sweet tooth craving, we’re loading up on anti-oxidants!
Banana Brownie
Whoever said that brownies were meant to be plain and blended with nuts and chocolate chips? This brownie is in between fudgy and cakey. Freshly ripened bananas and Valrhona chocolates are the key ingredients to this moist and soft brownie. This is a sure winner especially so for banana lovers.
Brownies are very versatile. They can be a simple, no-frills birthday cake, cut up into pieces for a party/event, wrapped up in fondant for a wedding or cut up into various shapes for a customized cake.
Lemon Pound Cake
This cake is so light, with crumbs so tender it will just melt in your mouth. Baked in a loaf, this cake gives off nothing more than a feel of freshly baked pound cake right out of your oven.
While still hot, a thick lemon syrup is brushed onto the top as well as the bottom of the loaf, making the cake more moist and giving it the sour tang. The sourness makes it a good choice for dessert after a full meal. It can be eaten with whipped cream, lemon curd or hot chocolate sauce even!
This is also a cake that can be used in many ways- apart from eating on its own-sandwiched and coated in frosting, cubed and mixed with whipped cream or mousse to make a trifle. Being a pound cake, this makes it a good platform for customized cakes as well as wedding cakes.
Romias
Extremely fragrant, this biscuit has a thin caramelized sugar disc sprinkled with almonds in the centre & surrounded by a ring of crisp, buttery biscuit dough. More a biscuit than a cookie, this simple round disc is utterly addictive and there’s no stopping after the 1st piece..
Romias make great gifts as well as snacks.
Lavender Stars
Lavender in foods is an acquired taste. But it is slowly being accepted especially in desserts and sweet treats. The lavender used in this recipe is not overly heavy but enough to give it fragrance. This shortbread is buttery & perfect with tea.
