Choux pastry, coffee creme patissiere, coffee marscapone cream, dark chocolate and chocolate covered coffee beans – all in one eclair. Could it get any better? I really don’t think so. This is by far one of the most elegant pastries I have ever made, and these coffee eclairs definitely taste as good as they look.
Strawberry Tart {Updated Recipe}
I never thought I would be posting a strawberry tart recipe for the second time (see previous post here!). Let alone posting anything for a second time. Since the previous version of the recipe was actually my very first blog post, not only has the photography improved but so has the recipe. It is probably the best tart I have ever made. Hands down.
Bircher Muesli: 2 Ways
I thought I would share a very delicious and healthy breakfast recipe with you, since bircher muesli is something I’ve been having a lot recently. The best part about it is that you can prepare it the night before, and it’s also gluten-free, dairy-free and refined-sugar free.
Victoria Sponge Cake {1 Year Blog Anniversary}
At the beginning of grade 10, we needed to write a letter to our “future selves” – meaning that we would receive this letter by the end of grade 12. So the only memory of what I wrote, which is ingrained in my mind, is having the courage to one day start a blog or YouTube channel. But little did I know, about 2 months after this, that Beyond Our Sky was going to be born. So here is a collection of photographs from over past year that have become some of my very favourites, as well as a Victoria sponge cake to celebrate!
White Chocolate and Raspberry Macarons
I know it’s been a while since I last posted and I am very sorry. I’m not a lazy blogger or anything, it just gets a little difficult sometimes with school (especially in grade 11!), assessment and sport. I can’t say that it was the most enjoyable first term because, quite truthfully, it was one of the hardest. But you can only go up from here, right? Right (hopefully).
Mocha Chocolate Cake + Mocha Macarons
Welcome to 2017! I know it’s a little late and I haven’t posted anything in over a month, but over the past few weeks I’ve been busy travelling with my family. So we just came back from Whistler last week, and being Australian, it’s not everyday you find yourself putting on two layers of thermals, a thick ski jacket, gloves and a beanie just to go outside. From -17°C to temperatures of over 30°C, the climate really can’t get any more extreme.
Strawberry Swirl Vanilla Ice Cream
This is the second sorbet/ice cream recipe I’ve posted for the summer holidays, but it is by far the best one. So here is the recipe for a vanilla bean ice cream with a strawberry swirl, and let me tell you – it will be the best ice cream you will ever have. No joke. Like seriously.
Vanilla Bean Cake with Vanilla American Buttercream
I think I have finally found a good vanilla cake recipe. But people look for different things in a cake. Some like it moist and dense, some like it light and fluffy. So this recipe is the latter option since it is more of a sponge cake rather than a butter cake but still provides the structural properties for layering.
