About Me!

Hi, thanks for stopping by, my name is Anna Kosti and I am 18 years old. I live in Larnaca, Cyprus, with my family and I am still going to high school. I fell in love with baking since the age of 9! I started with simple recipes to making complicated and fascinating desserts. I am planning to join university next year, overseas, to become a professional pastry chef.

Super Moist Chocolate Cake filled with a chocolate syrup & toped with a rich ganache! This cake is so easy to make and tastes soooo good!

If you’ve ever tried again Sokolatopita from Greece then this recipe is for you to make the same delicious SOKOLATOPITA!!!

Make sure to give this recipe a try and I’m sure it will become your new favourite.
