Crystal Dragon Baking Adventures

Hello! Haven’t posted in a little while- Between graduation and family visiting, life has been super busy lately! But to break the ice, wanted to share one of my biggest hobbies, baking! Mostly gonna be sharing the cakes I make here, but I’ve been experimenting with sourdough and other kinds of breads for a while, it’s a lot of fun ^^

First one is the most recent I’ve made for mother’s day, turned out kinda scuffed because of the filling being a bit too runny, but it was really tasty at least!

Simple sponge cake soaked with strawberry & cream liquor, the filling is a white chocolate cream and plenty of chopped strawberries~

This second one I made earlier in the week, sponge cake soaked in pineapple syrup, with a coconut filling along with lots of candied pineapple pieces~

Didn’t get any pictures of the inside of this one, but it was a strawberry and milk flavored cake. Made it for the bday of my sister’s friend ^^

Another recent one I’m very proud of, made it for a family friend that I consider to be my non-blood related grandma. Irish cream soaked sponge cake with nuts and a dulche de leche filling, frosted with toasted swiss meringue!

One of my favs that I’ve done, a dense chocolate cake soaked with coffee liquor, with a while chocolate filling

And finally, one of my first ones, a strawberry cake with a filling I made out of some blackberry jam and sweetened condensed milk I had :3

That’s about it for the cakes I have to share so far! Thank you for reading <3

Some more things I made recently!

A BIG (over 3kg!) Dark chocolate cake soaked with coffee and irish cream

Some savory rolls stuffed with cheese, bacon and prosciutto~

And finally, I usually use a screen and bake my pizzas directly on the rack (with great results), but I finally relented and got myself a proper pizza steel, and man, this has to the the best batch I ever made!

The toppings are mozarella, onions, toasted garlic, canadian bacon, and something similar to cream cheese we call Catupiry :3
