Lemon Panna Cotta with Raspberry Sauce

I had my first panna cotta at the Passionfish restaurant in Pacific Grove, California. It was a lemon panna cotta with citrus. It was light and creamy. After that, I knew that I have to try making that at home. This recipe is very simple. The panna cotta was creamy and sweet with a hint of lemon flavor. It was perfect with the tangy raspberry sauce. And, the panna cotta looked amazing with the contrasting colors. This panna cotta can be made a day ahead, so there is little hassle. Making it even easier to enjoy a relaxing and romantic sweet dinner ending with your loved one.

Red Velvet Cupcakes

Valentine’s day is around the corner. Bryan and I don’t really celebrate Valentine’s day. But this is a good excuse for me to make some delicious desserts. 🙂 Nothing says Valentine’s day more than a vivid red cupcake. Red velvet cupcake is pretty new to me. I have never seen or had this in Hong Kong before. At the beginning, I am not sure about the color of this cupcake. But soon after I tried my first red velvet, I have fallen in love with it. It is not that scary, in fact, it is just a chocolate cupcake with cream cheese frosting. This recipe is great! The cupcakes were light and flavorful, and the frosting was so creamy. They were not too sweet at all. For those of you who don’t like desserts too sweet, these cupcakes are for you. Enjoy!
