Laymans Terms

09/02/2026

Sometimes God gently changes our plans and reminds us where our attention is needed most. For the past month, I’ve taken a step back from Layman’s Terms to be with my family and take care of someone very dear to me.

It wasn’t a season I expected or planned for, but it was one that needed my full attention. While I’ve missed being in the kitchen, I’m so grateful I had the ability to pause and be where I was needed.

Now, I’m so excited to slowly step back into the kitchen and share what I’ve been dreaming up.

And what better way to come back than by finally baking all the things I’ve been saving, dreaming about, and wanting to try?

September is going to be a month of trying new things, creating beautiful things just because I’ve always wanted to, and sharing a whole lot of sweetness with you!

🎂Nothing says 22 like triple chocolate cake!🎂

One of my favorite cakes to make every year is my fiancé’s birthday cake! Getting to create something special just for him is a tradition I always look forward to, and this year’s cake was a rich, homemade triple chocolate cake.

A huge thank you to him for always supporting my dream, being my biggest supporter, and never saying no to being my official taste tester! I truly couldn’t do any of this without you!

Happy 22nd birthday! Here’s to another year of celebrating you (and making way too many desserts together). 🤎

If you love the nostalgic flavors of classic Neapolitan ice cream, this one’s for you!
