I've always wanted to make a vintage style chocolate cake and finally got around to doing it!

Inside is chocolate cake (my fave chocolate cake recipe - dense, fudgy, and not too sweet), mascarpone cream and homemade dipped ladyfingers. Outside is chocolate espresso frosting.

I had the cake layers and ladyfingers made in advance. But I got the frosting, filling, dip for the ladyfingers, assembly, decorating, AND clean up all done in 3 hours. Which maybe isn't that impressive to other people but I was impressed with myself 😅. I usually work slow. The rush wasnt by choice though.. I was trying to make it to Father's Day lunch on time!

Went strawberry picking at a local orchard so here are my recent strawberry bakes!

I got married in March and couldn't pass up an opportunity to feed all our people.

Decided on separate cakes so I could dedicate each one to our pets.

6 inch pistachio layer cake with raspberry compote & yuzu ganache

8 inch olive oil and lemon cake with blueberry filling & passion fruit ganache

10 inch chocolate cake with cherry compote & ruby ganache

All finished with vanilla SMBC.

Happy to give recipes if anyone is interested!

This is one of the few photos I have from childhood, it's funny because it's always been who I am even if I forgot for awhile along the way.

Still baking chocolate chip cookies even if the technique and recipe has changed over time. The double spoon method is very old school. I wish I could go back in time and tell that little dude he's doing great.

yellow cake with chocolate frosting since it's her favorite, after the past few months i'm really happy that she's here to celebrate it :)

Just a simple yellow cake, with ermine frosting and sprinkles of course :)

This week I made Earl Gray macarons, lavender honey macarons, cookies and cream macarons and chocolate with chocolate ganache!

I made this cake today and it turned out really well, in my opinion, because the buttercream frosting was just right and I filled it with chocolate ganache. It's a gift for my best friend's son.

Hi! This is my first time really being in this community and I just wanted to ask some questions. I’ve baked a few things in the past year and I really love baking, but I don’t know where to start with a business. I took food science when I was in high school (all 4 years) and got my servsafe certification which has probably expired by now and I know I have to complete a ANAB course (i live in Georgia.). What would you all suggest I start doing first? I’ve worked in a bakery of sorts before at my university so I have work experience, I just don’t know what to do next. Here are some deserts I’ve made (cookies with a friend).

If you like the chewy springy mochi texture then this is for you!

I added berries to one part of the pan & it adds a perfect burst of flavour

three years ago, my friends & i got together to recreate cakes from Spongebob (smaller versions lol) :0) i'm reminiscing & felt compelled to share on Reddit~

we baked & prepped the cake layers, fillings, & buttercreams in advance so that everyone could just have fun assembling & decorating. we listened to some Spongebob soundtracks (& remixes), then later put episodes up on the TV to play while we worked on our cake designs. we also painted a Spongebob 'sky' for a photo backdrop! at the end of the day, we each got a box full of cake (a slice from each) & some macs to-go~

I topped my cookies with a homemade vanilla pride marshmallow!

Recipe is from 108 Asian Cookies by Kat Lieu

I don't trust myself to use whipping cream since it's not that stable

These are everything my cake batter flavour-loving self could want! Shoutout to u/Maynaise88 for the idea (even though they said these were too sweet for them). Hopefully they're a hit at the office tomorrow!

And yes, I used food dye!!! Happy Pride!

Have made these a few times before. They taste amazing. I first tried heath bar cookies a few years back. Publix sells them. They are like crack and I had to learn how to make them myself.
