Tomorrow it’s mother’s day in Switzerland! Surprise your mom with these gorgeous raspberry cheesecake cupcakes. They are sweet and tangy and just the right size for a treat! I originally found this gorgeous idea from Martha Stewart. This recipe is different though: For the cheesecake filling, I learned a great trick from my student and […]
Today I have for you our favorite cake filling recipe: Swiss Meringue Buttercream or SMBC! Swiss Meringue buttercream is our first choice of frosting for cupcakes and cakes, because it’s very stable, has a long shelf life and is wonderfully fluffy. By heating our meringue to 70 degees Celsius, we make sure to pasteurize the egg whites, […]
It’s strawberry season! Strawberries are one of my favorite fruits. I love to use them all year round. Since the season is so short, I like to make strawberry puree to preserve them for later use. This week I’m making a whole batch of puree. Making puree is a great way to store strawberries for upcoming cakes […]

The weather has cooled down so quickly – we barely had time to get used to the cold! Now that autumn is here for good, I’m going to dive into fall baking recipes. At least that’s something to look forward to! Today we start with homemade pumpkin puree – the basis for lots of delicious […]
Flashback to 2013: Easter Sunday came, and I still hadn’t baked or decorated anything Easter-themed. But just before the day was over, I got this urge to make a traditional Swiss carrot cake, the way my grandmother makes it. Of course that meant using the Betty Bossi recipe out of this book, which every good […]
How do we make our sugar flowers at Minh Cakes? For our large flowers on our wedding cake, we use traditional Sugar Florist Paste or gum paste. It dries very hard and the flowers can even be refrigerated… but the paste itself doesn’t taste good! For small flowers on cupcakes and pastries, I prefer using […]
