I fell in love with raw cakes even since I discovered them. The recipes are extremely easy to prepare, you can mix a lot of ingredients and the result is almost always spectacular. Plus, they are healthier, they have no sugar added and you can’t eat very much because they are very nourishing. I sliced the cake in 8 pieces just for the sake of art, but I cannot eat a whole slice. I usually feel full with only half.

When summer comes, I prefer “cooking” no bake, raw cakes if I crave for sweets. I usually take a look over the ingredients I have in my kitchen an start assembling some crust or cream. All you need is a food processor and a freezer and the recipe will be ready in no time. It takes more for the cake to freeze than for you to prepare it.

Cupcakes are among my favorite desserts because you can cook them a hundred times and never repeat a recipe. There are so many ways to prepare and decorate them so you can please even the most picky people. You don’t need any special or exquisite ingredient, unless you want a very special mousse and decoration for your cupcakes.

Unlike muffins, their countryside relatives, cupcakes are refined little cakes with a generous amount of cream or mousse which gives them a delicate and yet sumptuous appearance.
