pov you disappear from social media but apparently not from the kitchen
A little dump of everything I baked (and made) while I was away. Mostly just having fun in the kitchen, experimenting with flavours, figuring out my oven and baking whatever I felt like baking
And yes, somewhere along the way we had the three mousquetaires ⚔️🍋🥥🫚
Also made m**o baolina 🇲🇬 a Malagasy fried doughnut and one of those things I randomly crave every now and then. Crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy inside, and best eaten warm 🤤

Well… that was a longer break than I expected 👀 I’ve been off social media for over a month now, nearly two actually. I’m weirdly a little nervous to be back. Not sure why, but I guess after being so disconnected from this space, it feels slightly strange jumping back in. Thank you for still being here 💕🫶 let’s see where this goes ✨

I almost didn’t post this but here are some simple ways to upgrade your vanilla cake ✨
(Without making it more complicated)
Not all vanilla is created equal. A good-quality vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste can make a huge difference to the final flavour of your cake.
And speaking of vanilla… bakerie | Cakes and Bakes is running a 7-day Buy One, Get One Free promo on vanilla pods ✨ run, don’t walk 👀
These can help create a softer, more tender crumb while adding a subtle richness… bla bla bla 🥱
But I’ve done the testing, so you can get straight to baking.
Because sometimes the biggest upgrade isn’t another baking hack…
It’s a recipe you can trust ❤️
✨ Still Thinking About It? Launch Pricing Has Been Extended ✨
📅 Offer valid from 27 July – 2 August 2026

Trust in the process 🪄
If I could go back to the beginning of my baking journey, I’d keep things simple ✨
A reliable cake recipe, a buttercream recipe I could trust, and a solid foundation to build from.
You’ll find all of that in my bio ✨🎂

Nobody talks about the emotional support required to face the dishes after baking 😭🫠
Anywhooo … the muffins are done, the dishes are judging me, and the flavour adaptations are on bakerie | Cakes and Bakes 🤭🧁✨
