    Which purin will reign supreme? I fill the fridge with flan in my latest tenuous attempt at fulfilling the Bibliotheca blog theme with non-fashion content.

    “Is this kugel?” Nope! Peruse some of my vintage cookbook collection as I try yet another retro dessert. Third time’s the charm, right? Right?


  • (Sakura) Style over Substance

    (Sakura) Style over Substance

    I strike out again, this time with a floral gelatin Bibliotheca entry. Imported ingredients, handmade graham cracker crusts, special dishware…for lackluster results. Looks nice, tho!


  • Rainbow Ribbon Mold

    Rainbow Ribbon Mold

  • Bavarian Cream

    Bavarian Cream

    Gelatin and…chocolate? It’s not weird, I promise! Learn entirely too much about Bavarian creams in this belated V-day post♡


  • It’s Hip to be (Halloween) Square

    It’s Hip to be (Halloween) Square
