I had an egg white omelet for dinner. For flavor I added yolks, sugar, brown sugar, vanilla, flour, baking soda, and chocolate chips. My doctor says it’s not what he meant by balance.#cooking #baking #recipe 🍜🍽️

Me watching Bake-Off: She's folding too aggressively. That sponge will collapse. Me baking at home: dropped my entire cake on the floor and still served it like nothing happened.#cooking #baking #recipe 🍜🍽️

Paul Hollywood: The lamination is uneven and your puff pastry lacks flake. The creme pat has a skin. Me: Biting directly into a scone like it's an apple and calling it breakfast.#cooking #baking #recipe 🍜🍽️

Paul Hollywood: Your victoria sponge lacks structure, the jam ratio is off, and the buttercream split just slightly. Me: Ate four slices of a Cottage Cakes lemon loaf in my car before bringing it inside like a secret. No notes.#cooking #baking #recipe 🍜🍽️

Paul Hollywood: Your mirror glaze isn’t smooth enough to reflect the royal family, and your chocolate curls lack soul. Me: Burnt the cookies because I got distracted scrolling Cottage Cakes listings and now I want six different types of lemon loaf. Rookie mistake.#cooking #baking #recipe 🍜🍽️
