being a pastry enthusiast is wild because I took a look at my day and said “yea I want to spend three hours making two soufflés” 😀 I had a craving for carrot cake but wanted something light so I made a carrot soufflé with masala chai spices and a salted caramel base, with a side of greek yogurt for tang - soufflés combine many things I love about baking: they’re specific, watching them rise is beautiful, you have to eat it within 5 minutes of coming out of the oven and it’s gone within 10 🥕

a commission for Izzy’s surprise party - making this was meditative and demanded presence - it’s cheesy but I treasure her and the love I have for her is imbued in this cake! thank you, more please 🧎‍♀️‍➡️❣️🌀 these are two banana cakes with plum jam and tahini buttercream ~ made to serve 40 to 50 ppl the art work is sugar paper/edible ink - big thank you to the artists who gave me the thumbs up to use their work (tagged on the cake)

made this brita cake (a nordic dessert usually made for the summer solstice/midsommar) on the winter solstice to usher in light - lots of candles because it was for a birthday but I like its double meaning 🎂

I followed the natural progression of putting flowers in cakes by making a cake shaped like a vase 🏺 for a dear friend’s 30th birthday ~ this is a funfetti cake with strawberry jam filling and strawberry buttercream (it was yum)- the craspedia in the middle are protected from the cake with a plastic insert 💌
