Come on in, sit on down.
The September Oracle has come ’round.

Cards laid out in a row,
What will be picked? No one will know.

The cards have been pulled,
The garden has spoken.
Which treat will be your token?

The Silk? The Gem?
The Abundant? Or The Impostor?

We cannot wait, so let’s fret no longer…

The cards await, the harvest beckons; let's pick out your future... Don't you reckon?

🥒🍍 Did you know you can turn your zucchini into pineapple?
Well...not quite.

Zucchini is a naturally mild vegetable that can take on the flavors of whatever you cook it in, which makes it surprisingly ideal for mock pineapple.

In the tested Zucchini-Pineapple recipe from my go-to canning resource, the zucchini is cooked with pineapple juice, sugar, and bottled lemon juice.

And here's where the food science gets interesting.

Pineapple juice and bottled lemon juice aren't just there to make it taste fruity. The acidity is an important part of the preservation process. The recipe is specifically formulated to create an appropriately acidic finished product for water-bath canning.

You're changing the flavor, texture, aroma, and acidity of the finished food until your brain goes:

"Oh. That's pineapple."🍍

And THAT is one of my favorite things about food preservation.

Food is science. Food is creativity. And there's usually more possibility hiding in an ingredient than we give it credit for.

That's what we mean when we say Beyond Scraps of Flour ✨

Piping buttercream onto a cake? Struggle bus, looks decent. Enjoy it a bit. 😅

Now SCULPTING CAKES?? That’s where it’s at!! 😂 Give me cake scraps, fondant, and a completely unreasonable idea, and apparently I’m in my element.

Turns out I don't need to be a buttercream artist. I just need to be allowed to build tiny edible things. 😂

And yes, every single piece of that basket was hand-cut, colored, woven, and assembled. My sanity was not included. 😭

Every cake has a story. This one has a few drafts. 😂🌹

Trial and error is such a huge part of learning to decorate cakes. Sometimes the buttercream is too stiff. Sometimes the lettering doesn't quite cooperate. Sometimes you finish a cake, stare at it for five minutes, and decide, “Yeah... we're doing that again.”

So that's exactly what I did.

I scraped it, softened my buttercream, smoothed it back out, and tried again. It isn't perfect...and honestly, I don't think it needs to be. It's handmade, it's personal, and it's another little lesson tucked into my growing collection of cakes.

And this one happens to be extra special because Karen is my birthday twin! 🎂♌️ Same birthday, different year, and now we get to share a little birthday magic.

Happy 70th, Karen! 🌹 May your birthday be full of sweetness, laughter, and absolutely no buttercream-related struggles. 😂

Thank you for letting Beyond Scraps of Flour be part of your celebration. ❤️

Another focaccia favorite flies off to its forever home today. 🖤

The classic Tomato Focaccia comes with a little twist! Originally decorated with sweet pops of cherry tomatoes, this version is painted with home-canned crushed tomatoes, dappled with herbs from the garden, and finished with Parmesan.

Sage and salt, oregano and basil,
garden tomatoes and Parmesan.
Gathered with care, scattered by hand,
baked together, and made magical.

A little from the garden, a little from the pantry,
and a little magic in between. ✨🌿🍅
