Figgy Layer Cake

October 19, 2009 By Jelli 4 Comments

Last weekend I baked up a lovely fig-filled cake for a friend’s birthday. This is the friend you may remember mentioned in previous posts, for whom I’ve been creating a file of vegan recipes to accomodate her stomach’s unhappy reception of dairy products. After reading through my list of cake flavors, she chose fig. I…

I found “THE ONE!”

October 14, 2009 By Jelli 3 Comments

“The One.” I finally found it! No, I’m not referring to my principe azul. Thankfully, I found him in 2007. This “One” is the best, tastiest, most versatile and perfect frosting recipe to ever meet my lips. Having taste tested oodles of frostings without intense flavor & texture satisfaction, I was beginning to think that…

Pastillage: Playdough for Grown-ups

October 9, 2009 By Jelli 2 Comments

I have a rant. Toddlers in preschools everywhere are constantly scolded for the same offense: eating Playdough. Why is it that curiosity is chastened whereas adults have good fun rolling and shaping fondant, gumpaste, and the like all the while popping bits into their grown-up mouths? Shouldn’t we share our little secret with the kids?…

Peanut Butter Cup Panna Cotta

October 7, 2009 By Jelli 4 Comments

Last night, on a whim, Husband and I took dinner to Brother-in-Law. (Aside from enjoying B-I-L’s company, my other self-seeking  reason was to make use of his food processor. Shhh, let’s keep that between us.) Since I had little notice, a quick dessert prep was the order of the afternoon. Panna cotta, perfect! The unconventional…

Rainbows in la Tormenta

October 6, 2009 By Jelli 6 Comments

It’s pouring outside. As soon as the sky began to darken, I rushed to alistarme para correr. I didn’t quite make it in time,  so here I am sitting at the computer, my running shoes giving me nasty side glances when I’m not looking. Jogging will have to wait until tomorrow, or this afternoon, if…

Cozy Carrot Cake Cupcakes

October 1, 2009 By Jelli 3 Comments

Vegan baking has been made loads easier since the publishing of Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World. I myself am not a vegan, but the goodies that have come from my oven with the “vegan seal of approval” have been mighty tasty. Why vegan? On Tuesday I was asked to bake a cake for the…

Pretty in Pink Chocolate Cream Tarts with Raspberry Mousse

September 29, 2009 By Jelli 8 Comments

My two recent blog love finds are by French food stylists. I picture Bea and Helen sipping cafe au lait at a chic open-air bistro plinking away at their keyboards formulating the latest fashionable recipe. Their blogs are artistic, elegant, and full of the some of the most dazzling photography that I’ve seen. Brimming with…

Aztec Cream Puffs | Jellibeanjournals.com

It all began with Sopa Azteca. On a whim, Husband wished to invite a few business colleagues  to dinner,  requesting Aztec soup be served. Dessert was another story. Soup,cheesecake? Soup, cookies? Nothing seemed quite right. You see, all week long I’d had my heart set on making an exquisite cake, something new and sophisticated, decorated…
