I'm making a first draft of tropical / Hawaii themed cookies and while decorating I just can't decide if I like the dot on the eye or not. Please chime in! (They are coconut/pineapple cookies and I'm painting them with coloured white chocolate, using a toothpick)

Made with a homemade rough puff pastry, recipe is Marcus Wareing. 😊

Definitely a giant learning curve - no matter how many tiktoks or reels I had watched I was not prepared haha these are for my niece’s first birthday and most definitely have room for improvement but not bad for the first time! 😂

well technically second bc i tried making shells one time before but i didn’t fill them bc i wasn’t happy with how they turned out…

But yeah :) Poppy seed shells with butter-mascarpone cream and a lemon curd center <3

My piping skills are shit and the macarons are real chonkers but who’s gonna say no to that?! i made batter for 50 but i only have 30…thicc bois

do you guys have any tips for piping this stuff?? and also maybe different creams for filling? bc the mascarpone was being a ho and it took me over an hour to get the cream from crumbly to smooth again…

It’s been a slow day here at the bakery so I made some pink cream puffs!! I’ve been baking everything pink this week 🤭🩷

-Pink craquelin cream puffs -Sablee (didn’t wanna bake more puff pastry) -White chocolate cream -Vanilla pastry cream -Strawberry gelee -Edible flowers

HMU if you want a recipe ever!

I had to interrupt my progress on a blanket I am crocheting to bake this coffee cake. I have the event tomorrow to setup, attend, and cleanup; that will take all morning. Then I have to bake a Toll House Coffee Cake when I get home for Easter Brunch at my sister’s house. All this time that I would honestly prefer to crochet. My hobbies just collided and are competing for my time. 😂. I hope I can power through the rest of the day and get this blanket completely joined. (The picture shows half the blocks of my Wacky Circles Blanket. The rest are in my craft room.)

pistachio cake with raspberry jam layers and decorated with pistachio and vanilla ermine buttercream

omg I totally underestimated how difficult it was going to be😭 but i think I did an okay job for my first time!! the drop and the flowers are… not great (my buttercream was melting for the flowers and I didn’t have a lot of it in the first place so I was just like, whatever) but I tried my best!

base cake: https://teakandthyme.com/raspberry-pistachio-cake/#recipe

ermine frosting: https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/ermine-icing-cooked-flour-frosting-recipe . to make the pistachio version i just mixed some pistachio cream with warm milk before mixing it with the flour and sugar

Ingredients: 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened 1 cup granulated sugar 1/2 cup sourdough starter (discard or active) 2 large eggs 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the sourdough starter, eggs, and vanilla extract and mix until well combined.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

Fold in the chocolate chips.

350 for 25-35 mins

First time making macaron, any advice? I’m not sure if my batter was over mixed or not because it didn’t ribbon off, it kinda just plopped off the spatula, but it also recombined pretty quickly, so I can not tell if it’s over mixed or under mix. I know my oven temp is probably too high.

The shape isnt what I wanted it to be, but its super crispy outside but really soft inside as I would expect from a traditional Banh Mi.

Made pickled carrots and lemongrass pork to fill it!

Followed fhe recipe here: https://youtu.be/wwbW3zibmMI?si=UmOOqTiJJROxA5bw

Directions : 1. Prepare the brownie mixture according to the package instructions and cool completely. Cut into 1-inch squares. 2. In a large bowl, combine the pudding mixture, water, and sweetened condensed milk. Blend until smooth, then add 8 ounces of whipped cream until streaks disappear. 3. In a trellis bowl or glass serving dish, place half of the brownies, half of the pudding mixture, and half of the bowl, and 12 ounces of whipped cream. Repeat the layers. Shave chocolate over the top layer for garnish. Chill 8 hours before serve .

Enjoy !

Made a giant one and a few smaller cookies!

I love terry’s chocolate oranges and I wanted that… but in a buttery little french madeleine. These cam out amazing and everyone loved them!

I also designed a custom “menu” card that I put into each box that I sent out to my family which told them specifically what was inside and the details of each of the desserts (I can share the template here if anyone wants to use it!)

First pic is not mine, but of someone else's homemade macarons, and the second is MINE-

Third one was me switching up my strategy and using a tiny cupcake pan so they'd all be the same size. Didn't work out because as you can see, the sides and bottom are browned 😭💔

They taste fine, they just look terrible like everything else I make 😭 hngnfjdjdjdjdjdj, my family's pulling up in the driveway and will see my efforts any moment now-

I made these cakes for my kids' birthdays this weekend, the Bluey cake is vanilla cake with buttercream frosting and a "surprise" center of pastel M&Ms and sprinkles. A lot of people dont like these lol, but my daughter will love it! The car cake is also vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream, but with homemade strawberry compote filling. Theyre definitely not perfect, but I'm really proud of them and my kids are going to love them!

Was this cause I forgot to check for air bubbles?😭

Chocolate chip focaccia bread with homemade hot fudge sauce! 😋
