I made my boyfriend’s birthday cake this weekend. It brings me a lot of joy to make cakes for my friends and loved ones. Also, to be thought of when someone is wanting a cake to celebrate their special day is an honor. I’m happy to be that person and I’ll gladly make more cakes.

I love baking cakes for people. Store bought cakes are so boring. What do they show? That you have fifty bucks and a half hour to kill? Who even needs a cake at all at that point. Cakeake isn’t about being a cake, it’s about thoughtfulness, decorum, and perseverance. I will exhaust myself and push myself to limits I didn’t know existed in order to make elaborate cakes for my friends’ birthdays. The funny thing is, I always run excessively late at finishing them, barely getting the frosting on… And by the time the cake reaches its destination, it inevitably falls apart. But they always taste good. People think they can’t bake, even people who like to cook think they can’t bake… And I guess I kind of just explained how baking is hard and I’m not great at it, but that’s exactly why you should do it! It’s good to not be good at things and who knows, you could be really great at it. And if you aren’t it’s still fun and makes people happy.

in 2020, i decided i ::needed:: to learn how to make and frost a layer cake at home. i ordered the piping tools and cake spinner, watched YouTube videos, practiced my technique to get the perfect crumb and frosting texture.
fast forward to when we could finally safely gather in person, cooking and baking just felt better when i did it for others. especially making special birthday cakes, like this one here—chocolate cake with brown butter frosting and naturally dyed sprinkles.

these last few months, I’ve been really into baking, intricate tiered cakes. I’m just kind of figuring it out as I go along. I’ve been making my friends cakes for their birthday. This is the most recent one I made. I’m trying to keep it as a fun, hobby and not monetize it like I do with all my other hobbies lol

I like what I like and I like doing things myself (Virgo). Every birthday, for the last few years, I have been making my own birthday cake and I have been loving it. This is a vanilla cake with blackberry jam, lemon curd, and mascarpone whipped cream.
To celebrate my 23rd birthday, I had an intimate dinner party with my family, friends, and my boyfriend. It was a gorgeous time.

I love slow Sundays at the museum. I love seeing the families, the older couples, the new lovers. I love listening in on their conversations. Some are planning their lunch. Others are connecting their lives to the exhibits. It’s beautiful!
When I eventually get bored, I roam around and find the museum cat, Stevie.
