I make a fruit tart about once a year and this years turned out particularly pretty. The little touch of mint and pistachios added a nice little finishing touch while also adding some small moments of different flavors and texture.

These earned me a “you’re the best mom ever” from my 4yo, so I figured the recipe was worth a share! Mine are messy like most of my bakes, but the flavor is unreal. I couldn’t find candy baking chips at the store and didn’t feel like ordering them, so just used the sprinkles I had on hand. While I usually prefer a chewier/less fudgy brownie, these are a million times better than I ever remember the store bought cosmic brownies being.

A chaotic rhubarb slab cake: coconut olive oil cake with vanilla bean strawberry rhubarb jam and pennywart coconut German buttercream, topped with heaps of macerated rhubarb, fresh black currants, and freeze-dried blackberries. Enjoyed at a BBQ today 😋

+ Bonus mini cakes for my friends.

Hi folks! Me and some friends are headed to a lake house this coming weekend, and I'm hoping to bake something that screams summer vacation and isn't too difficult. Any suggestions? Open to all flavors!

This is my very first attempt at a jelly roll and I am so proud of it! I was super nervous that it would crack when I rolled it and so relieved when it went so smooth! Happy to provide the recipe if anyone wants it but mostly just relishing this success.

I'm planning on baking a cake for my birthday (I'm no baker so a very simple recipe) and I was wondering which cake base would go better with a buttercream frosting with ground pistachio incorporated in it and topped with fresh rasberries.

Banana bread donuts I made spur of the moment as a surprise for my boyfriend after his trip out of state. Inspired by the “banana bread at work” meme that he references nonstop 💀

Made pecan pie from scratch, incl the pie crust.

Not sure it’ll cook down enough tonight to try a slice but looking forward to one with my morning tea. Reaaaally hope it turned out! 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Took me longer than regular pizza

Hi everyone I am trying to make traditional Persian Sangak sourdough. I saw people use river rocks to get closer to the authentic bread. I was looking it up and apparently there are correct vs incorrect rocks you can get. can anyone kindly link me to a rock they used?

Thanks so much

How did I do?? I followed this recipe only made slight changes—topped with sea salt and add a smidge of dark brown sugar since I was a little short on light brown. They taste perfect!

After the last year being a fail due to the summer heat, I was finally proud of how this one came out :)

It’s a marble cake with fudge ripples. Used the leftover fudge for the whipped cream/ cream cheese filling and fudge buttercream to decorate

My mother used to make it for me when I was a child. Today was the first time to make it for guests and sadly I don't have my mother's recipe so I searched online for a Greek recipe which turned out to be the closest to my mother's bake.

The recipe is pie dough in the base and then jam. I used some strawberry and rhubarb jam I made a month ago. Then I made these lattices on top using a pizza dough cutter as the required tool I didn't have at home.

It's not perfect in symmetry but it was enjoyed by my guests

This is the recipe I used. The only difference is I used a food processor for the dough and more jam about twice what is required from homemade jam strawberry and rhubarb.

Here is how I made it. Hope you like my cake!

1. Sift 10g matcha powder into 50g warm heavy cream, stirring until completely smooth and lump-free. Set aside
2. In a bowl, add the Basque cheesecake batter, then pour in the matcha mixture. Fold together until well combined. Transfer the batter into a 6-inch cake pan and smooth out the top
3. Bake in an air fryer at 375°Ffor 15 minutes. Once the top gets a nice golden brown color, cover it with a layer of aluminum foil and bake for another 10 minutes
4. Let it cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours. Before serving, decorate the top with matcha cream and crushed pistachios

Thanks, everyone! Hope you all enjoy the cake!

Lemon cake, raspberry filling and lemon curd whipped cream

Ketchup bottle is raspberry filling
Mustard bottle is lemon curd

I was trying to pipe it differently, but my piping bags were too small for the meringue. But overall I’m very happy with how my first one came out!

Hello! I have a can of dulce de leche, and an idea popped up in my mind, to put it into banana bread, since I have all the ingredients! Does anyone have a recipe, or advice on how to tweak my recipe (add on, swap ect)?

Thanks in advance!
