Today’s lesson in baking:
You can spend time stamping beautiful shortbread cookies OR you can bake with a two year old

...you cannot do both 😅

As a baker, can I share something controversial?

As a baker, can I share something controversial?

I don’t really like cake. 🫢

Mostly because the frosting that usually comes with it is overwhelming & somehow underwhelming at the same time. And I’m not interested in making “pretty” cakes that don’t actually taste good.

Every topping has to justify its existence.

So this cake? 🍰🍓🥥✨
Layered with berry jam and sliced strawberries.
Dusted with powdered sugar.
Drizzled with honey.
Finished with coconut flakes and chopped nuts.

…on second thought, is it even controversial to say baking should be about taste, not just looks? 😂

As a baker, I don’t show up empty-handed to anything. So I always keep an “emergency recipe” for last-minute bakes, which usually rotates every few months.

But for the last two years, it’s been these Italian almond cookies because I can whip them up so quickly and they never fail to impress! 👩🏽‍🍳✨

Disrespectfully…here are some golden thumbprints that I’m currently dreaming about.

Any guesses on what homemade jam is hiding in the center? 👀🔥

This post is simply to restore color to my grid after the Heated Rivalry cookie saga turned it into a gallery of empty plates (oops) 😅

Also Ramadan starts this week, so dates are not only appropriate- they’re essential. Yes, even the chocolate-covered ones 🍫💖

Stalk me. (I double dog dare you.)
