Best Lactation Cookies

Best Lactation Cookies Recipe by Yummy Calories

These are the best lactation cookies ever! Honestly, there's nothing better than having these freshly baked out of the oven with the chocolate chips still soft and gooey. I made them when I was breastfeeding my daughter more than five years ago and I'm now starting to make a few batches again as both of … Continue reading Best Lactation Cookies

Ol’ Cinnamon Roll

Cinnamon roll recipe by Yummy Calories

Cinnamon roll. I haven't had them in ages and I had forgotten how much I liked them until now. There's nothing quite like freshly baked cinnamon rolls that fill the kitchen with its smell long before it's ready to eat. The cream cheese frosting is also my favourite but our nephews like to eat it … Continue reading Ol’ Cinnamon Roll

Tiramisu Cake

Tiramisu Cake by Yummy Calories

This tiramisu cake uses sponge cake instead of the traditional Italian ladyfingers. For ease, I have used a microwave sponge cake. It is one of my most popular recipes, particularly for my parents. Their friends love it too and they often talk about how I must make it for them again. But I've been reluctant … Continue reading Tiramisu Cake

Eclair Affair

Eclair Affair Recipe by Yummy Calories

I was pretty late to my love affair with eclair. In fact, I used to hate it. But I realised later on in life that it was only because I've had horrible ones growing up. The eclairs I had when I was growing up in Asia had this terrible filling that was very greasy, like … Continue reading Eclair Affair

Dinosaur cookies

Dinosaur Cookies Recipe by Yummy Calories

My 3-year old daughter has been obsessed with dinosaurs for some time now. Her birthday is coming up soon and I asked her what kind of cake she wanted - and of course, she said a dinosaur cake. I thought I'd start experimenting with some dinosaur cookies first. They'd make a great topper for a … Continue reading Dinosaur cookies

Classic crispy homemade croissant

Classic crispy homemade croissant by Yummy Calories

Homemade croissants take time. Two days or three days? It definitely takes more than one day to make a decent homemade croissant. I found that there wasn't too much difference between a 2 or 3 day croissant, but it made planning ahead easier. For the 2 day croissant, I make, laminate and shape the dough … Continue reading Classic crispy homemade croissant
