Recommended cakes featured on the program
Midori (Green) - The sparkle of chocolate and matcha -
By steaming the dough at a low temperature, it melts in your mouth like raw chocolate. Enjoy the flavors created by the interplay of chocolate and matcha.
Scarlett ~A Harmony of Passionate Berries and Blissful Chocolate~
The vibrant fruitiness of the homemade confiture and the smooth, blissful melt-in-your-mouth texture of the chocolate mousse, combined with the tartness of the raspberries, brings out the full flavor of the chocolate—a cake for adults.
