I've always wanted to do an illusion cake and my friends' joint birthday brunch was a great opportunity to crack my knuckles and grease up the elbows! A simple homemade funfetti cake with vanilla buttercream and homemade strawberry jam turned into a stacked pile of golden pancakes, complete with edible strawberries, pats of butter and maple syrup to complete the look!

There's always room for growth, to challenge yourself to step out of your comfort zone, and do what seems impossible or difficult to believe.

Each holiday season is unique in the memory we create for the year, and I always love pushing myself to see what more I have inside. This year with a little babe of my own, I've scaled back to be realistic of my time and energy but am so thankful to explore again. Gingerbread cookies have been a nostalgic favorite, and I've always been drawn to the uniqueness and detail of laced royal icing. Love, care, and patience poured into each one. May this season bring you comfort and joy 🎄❄☃️❤👨‍👩‍👧

I'm back! I don't think I was ever able to stay away from baking for long anyway 😛 I I miss the time and freedom I had to enjoy big complex projects, but I wouldn't trade time with my baby for anything. Seems like these simple Chinese almond cookies are a good place to start! 🍪😋🥰 next project: a mystery! newmama

My first attempt at homemade croissants! I think I managed pretty well! Buttery and flaky goodness, and the layers are so satisfying to admire as they proof and rise 😍 well worth the 3 days of hard work! Hope I get to make you again someday! And into the belly it goes.... crunch! 😋😋

Feeling absolutely soaked with 💘 from my baby shower!! Little favor boxes to express my thankfulness ~ 🍋 cheesecake with strawberry compote, raspberry linzer cookies, and 🍓🧁 cupcakes with stabilized whipped cream and gumpaste 🌸 decor. I hope I can continue expressing myself through baking even after 👶 comes!

Choux de craquelin may be my most recent favorite to make! Simple, quick, and my husband loves them, which is a great bonus! So crunchy and light! What should I fill it with - pastry cream, whipped cream, compote, mousse, ice cream?!
