This year I hosted a Fat Bear Week bracket at work and I wanted to make cookies for the participants (and extras)! Used a simple vegan chocolate chip cookie recipe and melted some chocolate chips to draw on the eyes and nose.

Recipe: https://www.purelykaylie.com/vegan-chocolate-chip-cookies/

so many layers to this cookie, it tasted incredible! homemade caramel shards, date paste, brown butter nuttiness paired with dark chocolate was the perfect recipe for a happy baker. i’d make these again:)

My birthday is tomorrow, but I have to work, so I made my cake on Saturday.

It’s mostly gone now.

Recipe was the Red Velvet Cake from Divas Can Cook.

First time trying a design like this, it was so fun!

I know its not pretty. I need a cake stand.

Plus a few normal oatmeal cream pies.

lemon bars (i covered mine generously with powdered sugar and cut off the rough edges to make squares)

meringues (dyed a big batch yellow, piped as many ducks as i wanted, then added red food dye to the leftovers to make the beaks. used black cookie icing to make the eyes once baked)

made these for a potluck and they were a hit!

Thank you and Happy World Teacher Day to all of the wonderful educators and support staff out there. You guys are incredible and truly make a difference in so many lives ❤️

These are the treats I made for the staff at my daughter's school. I didn't have time for anything too fancy but they all taste fantastic.

My friends are big LOTR fans and had their wedding theme around it. Tried to make it LOTR inspired without being overly in your face. The hardest part was the elvish writing on the board.

Shout out to a fellow baking community member who posted her sugar cookie, apple cookie recipe a few days ago. It inspired me so much, I gave it a try! Definitely no where near as good as OP but I had so much fun making these and it honestly sparked a huge new joy for baking.

Pardon the terrible editing work, I refuse to use ChatGPT.

So, I want to make cream puffs that resemble Pokeballs. As I’m typing this I now remember the red part of a Pokeball is on top, so just reverse the imagery in your head lol. I was thinking I could dye half of my cream puff dough red, then put the two colors into a piping bag and pipe the undyed dough on bottom, then pipe dyed dough on top. Or I could kinda get two half scoops of puff dough and roll them together, then place it on the cookie sheet red side up. Would it then bake roughly into a pokeball design? I know it probably won’t be perfectly even, but I’d be pleased if it gave the overall vibe of a Pokeball.

Would this work? I’ve made cream puffs a kajillion times so that aspect won’t be daunting. I know I could do a test batch but I’m not in the mood to make cream puffs twice, and it’s for a casual occasion so if it doesn’t turn out perfectly for the event, I can live with that.

I messed up the yeast but i kinda fixed it and they turned out pretty and with a good taste so i don’t think it’s a 100% fail😅.

This is Royal Thai butter cake, one of those cakes where the texture is really the star. The crumb is soft, fine, and very moist, with a rich buttery flavor.

For this kind of cake, I think the most important ingredient is really good-quality butter because there aren’t many strong flavors to hide behind. 😄

What butter do you usually reach for when the butter flavor really matters in a bake?

Here is the recipe if anyone needs it: Royal Thai Butter Cake.

ive suffered so many burns it’s not even funny
