🍋‍🟩🥥 CAKE OF THE WEEK 🥥🍋‍🟩 You put the lime in the coconut! It’s my Coconut Lime cake, and it tastes like a tropical summer vacation! Imagine the softest and most moist coconut cake you’ve ever had, and then add some zesty limes to the mix, top it off with a creamy coconut glaze and you’ve got this beauty! Come get your slice of tropical paradise while it lasts!

🌹‼️ NEW ITEM ALERT ‼️🌹 Introducing my Raspberry Rose Sweet Cream Scones! These are similar to my Raspberry Scones, but this time I’ve added home-grown candied rose petals into the mix! Come try these elegant floral delights while they’re still around over the next few weeks!

☠️🍫 MUFFIN TIME 🍫☠️ It’s time for Death by Chocolate, but this time in muffin form! I start with a moist and rich chocolate muffin, add some dark chocolate chunks into the mix, add a chocolate shortbread crumble on the top, and finish it off with some chocolate icing. This week only!

🍪🌹 ALSO 🌹🍪 I’m keeping the rose train going this week with some White Chocolate Pistachio Rose cookies! This fancy foodie combination is an absolute treat, the perfect counterbalance to some of my richer dark chocolate cookies. It’ll only be around this week so come and try some while they last!

🏳️‍🌈 RAINBOW SEASON 🏳️‍🌈 is almost here, which means Rainbow Cake is coming soon! Each layer has a different fruity flavor, so you can taste the rainbow in a literal sense! It's the perfect cake for Pride events and weekend gatherings.

This year I'll be accepting pre-orders for whole rainbow bundt cakes now until midnight next Wednesday June 3rd. Pickup will be on Saturday morning June 6th at from 7:30-11:30.

Be sure to secure your cake while you can! I'll still be selling by the slice at market that morning, but this one tends to go fast and I'll only have a limited amount. Please keep in mind that I'll only be making the rainbow cakes once this year, so once they're gone, they're gone until next Summer!

🧈☕ CAKE OF THE WEEK ☕🧈 It's my Brown Butter Caramel Latte Cake! This *energizing* cake is made with Disco Espresso in a delicious brown butter cake, and little bits of toffee thrown into the mix just for fun. All of that is topped with a caramel espresso glaze, just to make sure that your morning gets off to a great start!

🍎🥧 MUFFIN TIME 🥧🍎 I'm going extra wholesome this week with my apple crumble muffins! They're packed with brown sugar cinnamon apples and topped with a shortbread crumble and vanilla icing... basically just apple pie in muffin form!

🍪♥️ ALSO ♥️🍪 Okay, fine, you all win, it's finally happening, I'm selling out and making Red Velvet Cookies this week despite my protestations otherwise! If you haven't already, please ask me for my Baker's Opinions™️ on Red Velvet Cake when you see me this weekend. Don't worry, I've got big plans to redeem Red Velvet in the coming weeks, but in the meantime these cookies are, admittedly, absolutely delicious! I've upgraded them with rich dark cocoa in a chewy chocolate cookie base, and added chunks of REAL white chocolate to give the true experience. This week only!

‼️ LASTLY ‼️ this will be the last week for strawberry scones, so better hurry and get them before they're gone for the season!

I'm looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow at Lawrence Farmers Market!

The current view at CHONKY Headquarters: a wall of elderberry in full bloom on one side, and a monstrous rose bush that's trying to eat my house on the other. My elderberries will be featured in one of my cakes later this summer as usual, but this beautiful behemoth of a rose bush has got me inspired this year. I'm looking forward to incorporating the edible rose petals into some of my new recipes over the next few weeks! Stay tuned for updates on my rose-inspired creations coming soon! 😍🌹

🍫🍒 CAKE OF THE WEEK 🍒🍫 It’s story time! Black Forest Cake is extremely near and dear to my heart, since it was the cake that originally inspired me to learn how to start decorating cakes well over a decade ago (big shoutout to for that). I fell in love with the combination of the rich moist chocolate and the sweet black cherries, balanced with the unique and delightful flavor of the kirsch (cherry liquor) frosting. Eventually this led to me getting into baking more seriously back when I had a regular office job. All of this might have never happened if it weren’t for this particular cake, so it goes without saying why it’s so special to me. Not only has it always been a crowd favorite, it also holds a very important place in my lineup since it was the very first cake that I ever made for the market when I started doing Cake of the Week back in 2021! Come join me this Saturday and let me share a slice of CHONKY history with you!

🍰🎉 NEW ITEM ALERT 🎉🍰 It’s strawberry season, which means that it’s time for Strawberry Shortcake! This beautiful creation is partially inspired by Victoria Sponge Cake, a traditional British tea cake that gives new meaning to the phrase “frickin delightful”. With a layer of sweet strawberries and smooth buttercream sandwiched between layers of yellow sponge cake, this tasty dessert is the quintessential Strawberries and Cream vibes for early Summertime!

🫐🥧 MUFFIN TIME 🥧🫐 Introducing my Blueberry Cobbler Muffins! I got impatient and decided that I need to have blueberry cobbler NOW, but I really wanted to wait another few weeks for blueberry season before I truly committed. The solution: make it into muffin form instead to tide me over! These juicy beauties are PACKED with blueberries and topped with a cobbler-esque shortbread crumble, along with a squiggle of vanilla icing to give those “melty scoop of vanilla ice cream on top” vibes. This week only while they last!

🍪 LASTLY 🍪 I'll be doing a trial run of my new Brown Butter Salted Toffee Cookies! They're packed with English Toffee and sprinkled with sea salt, all in a brown sugar caramel cookie dough!

I’m looking forward to seeing you all bright and early this Saturday at Lawrence Farmers Market!

✨‼️ NEW ITEM ALERT ‼️✨ This week I'll be doing a test run of my new Seven Layer Cookies! Inspired by the classic Seven Layer Bars, these delicious monstrosities are packed with all sorts of fun flavors and textures. I've upgraded them a bit with some rich dark chocolate and butterscotch toffee chips, along with pecans, coconut, graham cracker crumbs, brown butter, and Madagascar vanilla, all baked into a chewy brown sugar cookie dough. Better hurry and try them while you can, cuz these will be around for this week only!

🍌🧈 MUFFIN TIME 🧈🍌 If you missed my Brown Butter Banana Bread muffins last time, here's your second chance! These are quite similar to my Banana Cake, except topped with a maple shortbread crumble and some vanilla icing, all wrapped up in a cute easy-to eat muffin form! It tastes like breakfast, so come and get some before they run out!

See you tomorrow bright and early for a beautiful day at Lawrence Farmers Market!

🍫🍅 CAKE OF THE WEEK 🍅🍫 Introducing the Midnight Garden Cake! This cake was chosen by Elizabeth Cole, the winner of our silent auction package last year!

Okay, let me start by asking you a question: Have I ever led you astray? No? Good, then trust me on this one. What if... Chocolate Tomato cake? WAIT, don't leave! I promise it's not as weird as it sounds! Just like carrot cake doesn't taste like carrots, you'd never be able to tell that there's tomato in it if I hadn't mentioned it. This is an old Great Depression-era concept that traditionally uses a can of tomato soup, but we've upgraded it with some local tomatoes that I canned from last year's harvest along with a splash of local tomato wine. The tomatoes are blended into a sauce and mixed into the batter, along with some rich Dutch cocoa and dark chocolate chunks.

This cake is actually all about food science! The acidity from the tomatoes helps activate the leavening and enriches the flavor and color of the cocoa. The extra fiber in the tomato provides body and binds to the water molecules as it bakes, making this cake extra moist with an indulgent texture. The end result is one of the most delicious chocolate cakes I've ever had! Don't be scared, come try a slice this Saturday at Lawrence Farmers Market!

🍪💥 NEW ITEM ALERT 💥🍪 Introducing my Brown Butter Snickerdoodles! Okay, I have a confession to make... I've always thought snickerdoodles were a little boring. 😬 THERE I said it! Okay, before I get cancelled, let me assure you that I've redeemed them wholeheartedly with this recipe! The brown butter and brown sugar add depth to the shortbread cookie base, and a splash of maple helps round out the tangy bite of the cream of tartar. Add a caramelized cinnamon sugar crust and you've got an addictive take on a nostalgic favorite!

I'm looking forward to seeing all your smiling faces tomorrow! 🥰
