Baked Passionfruit Cheesecake

Passionfruit Cheesecake The Little Red Tart‘Wanna pash?’

One of the first things that comes to mind, without fail, whenever I think about passionfruit… though it has very little to do with the rest of this post. However, it is quite possible that if you make this for someone special to you, you may just be thanked with a pash. And who can complain with that?

Pashes aside, I have to say that personally I am not the biggest fan of passionfruit that you will find, but even I can go so far as to say that it is one of the quintessential flavours of summer.

Double Layer White Chocolate Mud Cake with Blackberry Buttercream Frosting

The Little Red Tart double layer white chocolate mud cake with blackberry buttercream frostingGosh, what a mouthful!

So the other day I realised that it was my ‘blogiversary’ and I thought to myself, “You know what this calls for? A double layer white chocolate mud cake with blackberry buttercream frosting.” Only it was more like “Mud cake!” because I was much too excited to get that entire sentence out.

Baked Raspberry & Vanilla Cheesecake {Photo Coming Soon}

When I was half the size and with a fraction of the freckles I proudly wear now, I thought cheesecake was an abhorrent idea. Although I had a sweet tooth that could rival anyone with a stomach capacity three times the size of mine, cheesecake was a notion that I simply would not tolerate.

Red Velvet Layer Cake with White Chocolate Buttercream Frosting

I was so eager / nervous to dish the cake out to my lovely new colleagues that I forgot to take a picture of the beautiful red inside. Whoops! But that just means I get to make another one tomorrow, right?

Martha Stewart’s Caramel Cake with Caramel Buttercream Frosting

The Little Red Tart Caramel CakeThis cake would have to be, by far, my best creation yet. A lot of what I have baked so far has been rather simple and I wanted to start branching out into recipes that were more complex and more involved. When I read the below recipe, I knew right away that this was a cake I just had to make. I had specifically been looking for a recipe that called for more than just one layer, and what better flavour than caramel?

{Oranje Koeken} – Dutch Orange Cakes

The Little Red Tart Oranje Koeken (Orange Cakes)In support of the upcoming football match between The Netherlands and Germany, I decided to make roze koeken… only this time I made them oranje as that is the national colour of the Dutch.

So I used exactly the same recipe as for my roze koeken, only this time I added a drop of yellow food colouring to the icing mixture in order to achieve a shade of orange.

I also may or may not have been wearing my Dutch apron.
