Month of March in my office! I am not the only birthday among the peops so I’ve made a lemon tart and a chocolate cake roll with a Bailey’s cream cheese filling.

2nd to last class and we are well into what we like to call, “Hurry up and wait.” That’s right, more yeasted breads!! Added a new bread today as well, the Shio Pan, a Japanese salt bread that is super trendy now. It looks a lot like a croissant but it’s not a real laminated dough. Delish.

I am determined to make one of each of these … one of these days.

I wish I could donate desserts, but I suppose this offering from Lee Winter is adequate.

This Sapphic Book Bake celebrates a debut author, @loumorgan.bsky.social ’s “Strap In.” It was a pleasure to make a TwixCheesecake because hello, cheesecake as a vehicle for caramel and chocolate? Yes!!

Another Sapphic Book Bake for Lee Winter’s “When She Flies” Yes, I made the tea (loose black tea, saffron, cardamom, cinnamon). This tea is ridiculously aromatic. Qottab is a typical buttery pastry filled with a walnut, cardamom, cinnamon and rose water mixed filling. Goes great with the tea!!

I debated if it was worth making an SBB video today. But not posting one just leaves us with sad images. Enjoy @alainaerdell.bsky.social’s Brooke Takes Queen and the apple turnovers procured by Brooke. I’m convinced it was part of the melting process for her ice queen Elizabeth. 😜

Baking class started at 8:30 am and was 5 glorious hours where I worked with students, ran around like crazy, and helped them make beautiful Bundt and specialty cakes. Then I walk outside back into the real world. *sigh*

Busy. Don’t call. Don’t email. Don’t text. Just don’t. #Sapphfic #sapphic

GCLS Con 2026!! Time to get Loud and Proud! I’m bringing baked goods y’all!** #Sapphfic #SapphicBooks #GCLS **<not enough for e’rbody, calm down>

So apparently it doesn’t suck 😜

I guess this is the teaser pic for tomorrow’s latest and greatest. My colleague asked for Dubai Chocolate cake. Gotta love the bold assumption I can pull that off!! More pics 🤞after we slice into it!!

Last Sapphic Book Bake of the year… I think. The traditional holiday dessert - Sticky Toffee Pudding from @tjdallas7.bsky.social Bartender’s Pride, book 1 of the Pride Trilogy. I have a special place in my ❤️ for one of the seven deadly sins-her name is Georgia and you can only guess which one she is

At Esposa’s request, we have Peppermint Brownie cookies…

At the store for some stocking stuffers, etc. And let me tell you somethin….Cupid can back the F*!& up. Wait your turn crackatha!!

Know what would be great? A pottery wheel Christmas ornament.

This year’s office holiday party had an abundance of food, a sign of incredible good fortune for all of us. Here’s my humble contribution - channeling the Aussies and Latinas

Latest event: Tres Leches Cake and Chocolate cake roll! Surly Teen’s LGF (Little GirlFriend) has been helping with bakes recently. She actually came up with the strawberry tree design with blueberry “ornaments”.

The Novella!!! Out now! It’s more Oxford series!! And it’s less than a $1. You can’t even get a semi-decent pastry for that and this will last longer! @clareashton.bsky.social (For Canadians, it’s 1.50, which i understand you cannot get a donut from Tim Hortons for that.)

That moment when euro friends send you euro goodies. That is some euro love!! Thank you my sweet friends!! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar.

Decided to get a little extra and instead of making just “cinnamon rolls”, I’ve also added apple to the cinnamon filling. Because apples are healthy!

In the category “Embarrassment of riches” we add this sapphic book gem: @rubyroeauthor.bsky.social

This Sapphic book bake is the debut novel by @judeinthestars.bsky.social and their wife Marguerite and it’s a delightful Christmas romance. It is in both English and French, so bonus! I am not a Chocolatier like a MC, but I did try my best to put together an Oreo truffle. Chocolate is love. 

@dr-bethany-jacobs.bsky.social Bring It On

*switches on the “Do Not Disturb” sign* Finally!!!

Brace yourselves.

2nd time helping out ChefTech with their Brazilian specialty night, aka Bossa Nova Bites! I couldn’t be prouder of everyone making 🇧🇷 food for the first time. Here’s feijoada, pão de queijo, coxinha, bolo de cenoura aka carrot cake. But trust me when I say this is not the American version. 👩‍🍳 💋

Current mood

Beyond excited!! Christmas comes early everyone!! @dr-bethany-jacobs.bsky.social

So here’s the spoiler alert on what I made today: Japaense Milk Bread.

This chapter in my ebook read fabulously, but in audio it’s even better. Trust. 🤣 😂 #sapphic fiction @clareashton.bsky.social

Another day where we ask, “What is she making today?” One hint is inside the standing mixing bowl.

More breads. Why? Because…bread is life. Couldn’t be more proud of the students. Rinse. Repeat.

Today is my mother-in-law’s birthday. She is a chocoholic like myself and requested chocolate cake. Her wish is, of course, my command.

Checking emails and I kinda feel like this is a bit forward don’t you think? Mind ya business Awwwwwdible. Sapphic audiobook sale….

Today’s Sapphic Book Bake is from Scotland. We have Tattie Scones. Featured in The Woman From the Waves. Roslyn Sinclair gives us a rich and filling story full of intrigue, spice, and a fair bit of humor (think “fish out of water” in every sense). @writingroslyn.bsky.social

Hard to believe it’s savory bread week already. Yet here we are. Once again, sorry gluten-free peops.

So, today is not 3.14, but it is pi (π) day (Ba dum pum).. Quiche Lorraine, Jefferson Davis pie, plus the usual suspects of fruits, apple, blueberry, raspberry, and cherry. Enjoy.

Coconut cream pie made by yours truly. Almost forgot to add the pic with toasted coconut flakes..d’oh!

Ta-da! Hummingbird cake! I promise, no hummingbirds were harmed in the making of this cake for Esposa and her twin sister, my fabulous SIL. Instead we have: bananas, crushed pineapple, and toasted pecans with a cream cheese filling and frosting.

Guys are cleaning our garage, trying to find where the rats are coming in. So I have a box of old pics and I’m laughing my ass off. A few of them are from when I was in my mid-20’s and had a much better body (I’m wearing a black corset and my boobs are spilling out like a showgirl 😂)

Normally I don’t like to have more than one book going at the same time. But my colleague recommended this one and my library wait list was so long, I figured I could make it work. So far, it’s an interesting read as someone who deals with anxiety and other issues.

Honestly, sometimes I think we don’t deserve Moira Quirk. Then I laugh and laugh as I hit “play”.

It would be remiss of me to leave out esposa’s latest and greatest - jalapeño cheddar sourdough bread. Here’s another episode of me and The Slicer.

And the answer is…chocolate chip banana bread!

Part 1. Guess what I’m baking today.

Next bake for today’s class the students made chiffon, sponge, and genoise cakes - which autocorrect keeps calling a “Denise” cake. Seems legit. Here are the almond chiffon, orange sunshine chiffonon, a cannolki cream filled sponge, and two rolled cakes: strawberry cream and chocolate.
