Demo by Chef Eric Perez

This week I was fortunate to attend an amazing demo by Chef Eric Perez, who made several Asian-inspired recipes using Boiron fruit purees and Demarle flexi molds (they were sponsoring the demo, that's why). Here are the pictures... I'll be typing the recipes for myself soon, so if anyone is interested, please shoot me an e-mail.

Strawberry Cream Cheese Cake


Milk Chocolate Passion Dessert


Chocolate Square Tart


Mango Coconut Tart


Sour Cream Soft Cake with Mixed Berries and Pecan Crust


Milk Chocolate Raspberry Cube


Blood Orange White Chocolate Cake

Hello World!

This is so exciting! My first blog post for Buttercup Cakes!!! After spending a number of years in advertising, before I switched into a pastry career, I had the opportunity to design blogs and do social media work for some top dollar companies... Funny enough, I never thought about creating a blog for myself, because I figured I wouldn't know what to say.

How things have changed! Now that I've been working in this fascinating field for just 5 years, I think I'd have a hard time picking a topic to talk about (and just keeping myself quiet, as a matter of fact). Every day in this profession poses a new challenge, a new opportunity to learn something new. And c'mon, who doesn't love cakes? Each one of them is new possibility of telling someone's story and creating memories that can last a lifetime.

So stay tuned, my friends... If you are as fascinated as I am about cakes and the pastry arts, this blog will be a lot of fun for all of us :-)
