This months Daring Bakers Challenge was a tiramisu, but I changed things up a little bit and created a ‘pyramisu’. It’s a tiramisu in a chocolate pyramid, with momofuku inspired cereal milk ice cream and cereal milk crumbs thrown in for good measure.

I know I’m very late in posting up the result of my DBC for this month, however, I have a legitimate reason for this. With the majority of the month spent overseas, I arrived back home 2 days before the posting date was due. Determined not to miss out on another challenge, I finally did the Nanaimo bars [...]

My first experience which soon developed to an obsession with Cannoli started precisely 4 years ago. It was 4 years ago, that I started a new job at a shop which was directly opposite to a beautiful Italian patisserie. Each morning, my request would be a ricotta filled cannoli with a medium cappucino. I can remember precisely how the cannoli tasted, with it’s crispy shell encasing an airy mixture of ricotta cheese, douse in a little sprinkle of icing sugar, it brings back great memories.

With such traumatic experiences, you can understand why I was so hesitant in dipping my toes into such a challenge again. Alas, it is the nature of the DBC, over coming your fears, creating things you’d never thought possible and learning from your mistakes.
