It's almost back to school time, which means pretty soon my feed will be filled with "first day" pics of your precious gremlins....I mean angels, your precious angels.

So, the ABCs seemed fitting....drop your favorite below

I'm not ready to let summer go yet, but I also not mad that it's almost time for hearty soups 🍲 and what goes better with soup than fresh bread?

This French Bread is the second loaf of bread I've made this week (to feed my own family) First was my fluffy sandwich bread. Truly, nothing beats fresh homemade bread.

This also serves as your routine reminder that the fact that store bought breads don't mold should freak you the f@ #& out!

What goes together better than peanut butter and jelly?

Well chickens and golf obviously.

This is an 8 inch 3 layer vanilla cake with raspberry filling and vanilla buttercream.

It should come as no surprise that this strange request came from someone who shares my genetics. She wanted to surprise her fabulous office mate on her birthday. The perfect surprise for a girl who loves chickens, golf and sweet treats........and frogs, shoes and Star Wars. Unfortunately, I had to narrow down the themes to prevent my head from exploding.

So please, please send me all your strange requests.

I have a couple of spots open for custom orders in October 😁

I definitely don't FAFO when it comes to copyright...just ask Keath 🧁

This little guy wanted a theme that rhymes with Mider-Span for his 3rd birthday, so Mider-Span is what he got 🕷 🕸

Hand-painted spiders and webs, so I cheated with an edible icing sheet for the city scape 🌃

Story time.....

One fine day not long ago, I strolled into big box mart to stock up on a few baking essentials, only to find the butter I use had DOUBLED in price. I nearly shat my pantaloons! Then to make matters worse, upon researching, I found this to be the case across the land (and interwebz). Turns out it was being discontinued and remaining stock is hot and pricey commodity. This is where I really lost my s**t.

I saw only two options.....
1. Increase prices
2. Stop using frosting and require my customers to use their imagination

I was heavily leaning towards option 2, but in the midst of my mental breakdown, I did something crazy. I tried a new brand. I was very brave about it too, I only cried like 4 times.

Bottom line, you may notice a slight variation in the frosting flavor or texture. I feel these minor differences are actually an improvement.

Also, I'm ok, thank you for asking.

I was planning to offer some treats over the weekend but with these temps and no AC, the oven was not staying on any longer than needed! 🥵

I did manage to make a few extra Campfire Cookie Tins to share with the family.....

Homemade graham crackers layered with chocolate ganache, marshmallow cream, topped with a heaping scoop of chocolate chip cookie dough and baked 😋

Any interest in me turning these I to Campfire Cookie Pots (mini layered cake jars)?

How about any interest in a pre-order for S'mores Kits? Homemade graham crackers, hand-poured chocolate bars paired with Dandies marshmallows 😋

I hope everyone enjoyed the Illuminati's 250th birthday!

Let's talk about box mix.....

Boxed cake mix is currently a hot (and controversial) topic in the baking world. It's extremely common for commercial bakeries to use box mix. It's also quite common for home bakers to use box mix. Many bakers start with box mix and "doctor it" by adding a bunch of ingredients to improve taste and texture....which to me sounds like more work than just starting from scratch. To each their own.

My Vanilla cake base has 10 ingredients and that includes things like water, salt and baking soda. I have no interest in adding a ton of unnecessary chemicals. Baking from scratch is what I do and you will never find box mix here.

Now listen to me when I say I don't give a s**t what anyone else is doing. My emotional bandwidth for that is zero percent. I hope we all win.

My only opinion on it is if a baker chooses that route it is important they are transparent with their customers. Other than that, off you go sovereign citizens, consult your own chaos manage your own circus and live your own truth, even if it is a simulation.

Just a thought.....

For one day, let's forget the reptilians in congress, take a deep breath, inhale the chem trails and exhale the charitable tax write off while enjoying the chirps from the avian surveillance network.

If the feds won't fix s**t, we'll have to do it ourselves....starting in our very own community.

And if you see me celebrating the 4th, just know it's because I love food and like maybe 3 people in my family, not because I support the government.
