Genmaicha Avalanche Cake – Karlin Patisserie
Compared to Matcha green tea, "genmaicha" is probably a more alien type of green tea for bakers. Genmaicha is a Japanese green tea mixed with roasted popped brown rice, hence its unique warm nutty flavour and rich aroma. At first glance, you might not be able to quickly distinct between matcha powder and genmaicha powder…
Earl Grey & Lotus Biscoff Cheesecake – Karlin Patisserie
Last time when I made a Lotus Biscoff Cheesecake, the taste of the cake really surprised me, since I was not a Biscoff lover at all, but I immediately fell in love with the cookie after my first bite.

Matcha & Yuzu Burnt Cheesecake – Karlin Patisserie
What is the best fruit to pair up with matcha? Apart from strawberries, the next fruit that comes instantly to my mind is YUZU. Used mostly for their zest and peel, yuzu is a citrus fruit that is mainly cultivated in the East Asia, such as Japan and Korea. Here, in Singapore, it is quite…
Matcha & Coconut Muffins – Karlin Patisserie
I never knew that matcha green tea and coconut could go so well together, until I tried this recipe and made some matcha coconut muffins. The star of these muffins are, of course, coconut and matcha powder. Very often, I get questions like "Which brand of matcha powder are you using?" or which grades of…

Matcha Marble Cake – Karlin Patisserie
Who doesn't love marble effect in cake? It is a result of randomness, but not completely. It is a randomness with planning.

Honey Pecan Cinnamon Roll – Karlin Patisserie

It is the easiest mixing method for yeasted bread, and hence more beginner friendly for home bakers. However, the…
Matcha & Oreo Cookies Cheesecake – Karlin Patisserie
Meet my new favourite cheesecake! It is a no-bake three-layer cheesecake, which comprises an Oreo cookies crust bottom, vanilla cheesecake layer and a Matcha cheesecake layer.
