There’s just something special about sourdough 🤍
From feeding the starter to pulling a golden loaf from the oven, every step is a labor of love.

On National Sourdough Day, I’m extra grateful for the slow process, the simple ingredients, and all the delicious creations (bread, cookies, and everything in between) that come from it 🍞✨

🦋✨ Celebrating my beautiful mom’s 87th birthday with a cake as special as she is 💛
A passion fruit cake with matching buttercream, dressed in burgundy and gold — and finished with delicate butterflies to honor her grace, strength, and beauty through the years.

87 years of love, laughter, and light — what a gift to celebrate 💕

Through the misty Highlands I wandered, where shaggy coos with gentle eyes stole my heart forever 🐮✨. This year, to celebrate my birthday, I baked a Highland coo cake of my very own — a sweet tribute to those beloved creatures. 🎂💛
