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

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.

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.

ive never been a nail girly. I work with my hands too much and I’m super lazy and low maintenance. but I got my nails done for a trip a couple weeks ago and it’s been so fun figuring out how to function with them. when I tuck them into my kickboxing gloves at just the right angle so that they don’t hurt when I hit the bag, I feel so girlboss.

I shoot with an olympus mju ii and even though it’s an expensive, impossible to repair camera (I’ve had to replace mine once already) I love this little point and shoot. it’s great for fun film pics but also capable of really stunning portrait work of my friends :)
