My cookies as Bridgerton characters

Lady Danbury with a purple and white cookie

Penelope with yellow citrus cookies

Edwina with a peach grava and cheese cookie

I absolutely love the gowns in Bridgerton and the wide variety of colors/fabrics! Even those citrus dresses 👀 Which is your favorite combination? Have you finished the first 4 episodes of season 4 yet?

I was able to go Saturday! Turnout wasn’t too good because of the cold and storm prep but we still sold a fair amount 🙂 I’m currently only selling V-day boxes, but you can see the full range of flavors on my website (they just aren’t available now).

Do you have any rules for baked goods? To me, it’s got to be worth the calories whether I’m treating myself or making cookies for my business

I think I watch them because I like to see other people’s creative process

Excellent biscuits

Rosemary and black pepper sounds so good! I don’t think I’ve had a whole wheat scone before—is the texture different? The cookies are actually guava and cream cheese after the Cuban pastry.

My latest creation!! Can you guess the flavor? I used to be so stressed about recipe development but now it’s my favorite part about having a cookie business #bakingsky #womenowned #cookies #art #food #photography #foodporn

Horchata Snickerdoodle: My coziest cookie yet! Salvadoran Horchata (the best imho) w/toasted rice, cinnamon & cacao, toasted sesame, morro, & peanut for a full flavor. This soft cookie is then rolled in more Ceylon cinnamon & sugar. Available this Sunday at Winter Clubhouse #baking #art #photography

Last year I got fired from my job at the NIH & pivoted to my side hustle: my microbakery. I spent the year supporting federal workers & speaking up for public health through news appearances & advocacy. I’m also a #DC -born, #MD -grown woman in my 40s who loves the #DMV area #baking #science

I’m putting the final touches on 6 cookies for a local winter market in DC. Here’s the first one! Lmk if you want the market details—it’s Jan 25th. #baking #dc #smallbusiness #cookies #maryland #dmv #nova

I think it’s Ina Garten’s chocolate cake recipe that uses like 2 whole cups of hot coffee and it’s so good! The instant coffee suggestion is great too. I also do a Hazelnut mocha latte cookie and I use Nutella plus Bustelo espresso powder in it

Thank you!

So out of 16 eggs, I removed 3 and added 100g water. I use half regular and half browned butter in my recipe so that helps it not have too much moisture (the browned butter has the water cooked out of it)

I’ll post once I can mail anywhere in the U.S.! 🤗

I love doing that in chocolate cake too! Great method

Not now, but I’m working on getting some products to retail locations in the next 6 months in the MD-DC area! And hopefully I’ll be able to shop anywhere in the U.S. soon as well.

🤣🤣 I meant about how they look, but that’s a fair comment

Persimmons are such an underrated flavor

Mmmmmbread cube

Love Edd Kimber!! His videos are so educational too

Recently changed my brownie recipe to use a little water instead of a couple eggs (I make huge batches so I was using 16 eggs at a time) and I think I like it better! Less oily, more chewy and thicker overall. What do you think?

What’s everyone making for Thanksgiving dessert? I’m bringing these malted milk chocolate cookies I just created a couple weeks ago. sourcing the malt ball centers was a little difficult but really worth it. They also have Belgian chocolate inside.

Yeah culinary “authenticity” is a myth literally everywhere. It’s a ridiculous thing to police and there’s no way to even decide how far back to go before some dish counts as “authentic” because people have also always migrated like, everywhere??? I genuinely don’t get the obsession.
