I like baking treats and gifting edible things for my Mum friends on Mother’s day. I beileve it is my favourite holiday, partly because I get to celebrate my own Mum and also feel spolit and partly because the nature of treats are dainty, pretty and precious just like Mum. Raspberry madeleines have been on my mind for a while as I wanted to create the beautiful cakes with a filling in them.

I used homemade raspberry jam within the raspberry madeleines. I also stuffed a few with fresh raspberries but I think I liked the jam ones better. The two tone effect is simply by placing white chocolate that is colored in two different shades in the hole of the madeleine mold. I used this seashell mold for the design.

I’ve been on a baking spree last week and quite happy with all the cookies and mini cakes I baked up. Stay tuned, I’ll share as many recipes as I can this week.
