i'm not so sure what triggers me to bake batches of chocolate goodies. i just love chocolate.

the first thing i know that i want chocolate. i want something that i can finally feel satisfaction guaranteed. i need a journey to reach the end.

first i made flourless hazelnut chocolate cakes, which is to me it's so nutty, so deliciously chocolate and sinfully alluring for those who's on diet. it tastes beautifully served with a scoop of chocolate ice cream, dusted with icing sugar and some slices of strawberries. lucky me, i never am in diet. never will (though i didn't consume chocolate, coffee, and ordinary tea when i was pregnant with the two kids--but now, it's all over!).choc-hazelnut cake

still need to taste more chocolate, i made a batch of chocolate melting moments, sandwiched with Nutella. satisfied my craving for afternoon tea! chocolate melting moments

then for the dessert, i made this lovely chocolate-hazelnut pastry, filled with chocolate custard, and topped with thick ganache. garnish with raspberries, scorched almond crumbs and dark chocolate shaves. and i drizzled it with raspberry coulis.chocolate tartlets

that night, i slept in the chocolate-dreamland... perhaps i was smiling.
