My husband had a big birthday last month, and I wanted to make a cake that captured his personality to celebrate. One of his biggest passions is chips – not the potato or chocolate kind (though he does like those too) – I’m talking about the computer kind. The ones […]
Have you ever seen Olympic medalists pose with their medal as if they’re about to take a bite of it? I absolutely love watching the Olympics, and this year I was inspired to make an edible medal. But of course, this sweet gold medal would not be complete without some […]
Last year I set out to attempt all the technical challenges from the 2020 season of Great British Bake Off (more on that here). I really had no idea what I was getting myself into. It was a lot more work than I expected, but simultaneously it was also SO […]
Fourth of July is one of my husband’s favorite holidays, and this year he asked if I could fill a cake with patriotic M&Ms. He became a citizen in 2019 and we didn’t get to do the fireworks thing last year because, well, 2020. I had never made a piñata […]
I love making my own birthday cake, and this year I got pretty nerdy with it. I’m a software engineer during the day, and decided to incorporate some of that into my cake. I wanted to make the cake a computer terminal (also called the command line), which is an […]
Last December, I set out to make and film all the technical challenge recipes from the 2020 season of British Bake Off. I didn’t really know what I was getting myself into, and there were definitely points when I was close to giving up, but I did it! I’m so […]

On March 25th, 2020, I made a loaf of banana bread mostly because I was bored and everyone else was doing it. It didn’t take long before the aroma of sugary bananas and melty chocolate chips took me back to my childhood, reminding me how much I enjoyed baking. You […]
Since I was a kid, I’ve always been a fan of celebrating Pi Day. I mean, I’ll take any excuse to eat pie even if there’s a little math in the mix (ok, I always loved math class). My high school went all out for Pi Day: everyone signed up […]
Want to skip right to the videos of me doing this? Head over to my YouTube channel to see me succeed, fail, and sometimes make a fool of myself in the process. I’ve seen every episode of Great British Bake Off, so the logical next step is to start making […]
Welcome to my baking blog! I love piping fun designs with buttercream, combining different dessert concepts, and developing my own recipes. I'm a self-taught baker, and I rediscovered my love of baking in 2020 when I started spending more time in the kitchen.
