Loved making these beautiful challot and 4th of July themed cupcakes for @ahoefener & @justtoofarr ‘s housewarming bbq yesterday! It’s always so exciting when a new recipe works out! 🧁🍞 🥖 🍫 . . . . Thanks to @nytcooking for the recipe! #nytimescooking #challahbread #salt #newhome #cupcakes #baking #thatdoughstructurethough

I mayyy have just stumbled dangerously into a new talent. I made Babka, and it was DELICIOUS! Another amazing recipe from my #BreadsIllustrated Cookbook by @testkitchen ! By the time it was cool enough to get into, I was more concerned about eating it than photographing - but check out my highlights for behind the scenes while it’s being made! 😍🤤🍫🍞 #chocolate #babka #americastestkitchen @cooksillustrated

@kylegesuelli wanted Italian Rainbow cookies, and I never say no to a new baking challenge... so, we made them! Spoiler: they turned out ah-maze-ing! Thank you to @lidiabastianich for the flawless recipe and to all our families (in advance) for helping us eat 60 cookies 😂 ! 🇮🇹 🌈 🍪 ! Happy and healthy Holidays, everyone - hopefully yours is filled with something sweet! . . . *Also - got a little trigger happy with the IG story - so check out my highlights for more photos for behind-the-scenes!

First time making this kind of insta-famous drip cake! It was fun, but this little cutie is stealing all the credit 🤦🏻‍♀️. A @reeses inspired creation, chocolate cake with peanut butter buttercream with Reece’s cups inside and chocolate ganache on top 🥰😍! Happy Birthday @ryancane85 ! 🍫🥜🍬🍰

L’shana tova - happy new year! My favorite apple butter challah for a sweet and healthy challah-iday! #yum #applebutter #roshhashanah

And some more #summerbakingprojects ! A homemade fruit tart! I made a creme pat that even @paul.hollywood and @britishbakeoff would approve of! Gotta #brag for a minute and say, it was super yummy! And yes, those are golden kiwis in the middle - my new favorite fruit!

Guys!! I made croissants! These bad boys take tiiiime but they were so fun! First time try wasn’t perfect, but they’re damn good! Can’t wait to try them again, soon! 🥐🍫😍 #croissant #baking #summerprojects #whosgoingtoeatallthese . . . Major thanks 🙏🏻 to @sallysbakeblog for the recipe and helpful tips! You’re such a pro! *Yes, you can see they’re slightly under-baked because my oven runs a bit hot and outsides were starting to burn.*

These triple berry scones are definitely full of berries 🙄😳 So.... they’re slightly explosive but wholly delicious 🤤. Suffice to say, week two of summer is going well! 🍒🍓😍#baking #canibakeforyou

More cupcakes for another bridal shower ☺️ Got to have fun with sprinkles and a new funfetti recipe! 🍫🎂👰🏻 #cantbakeenough #baketressforhire #idoparties

What to do when you pick too many ripe strawberries at @johnsonscornerfarm over the weekend?!? Make strawberry popsicles, of course! 🍓 🍓 👅 ... and whip up some coconut pops, for good measure 🥥 🌴! . . . #myhusbandlovescoconut #tasteslikesummer #strawberry #soyummy #farmtotummy #gardenstate #ilovenj #jerseyfresh

Princess Cinderella! The most perfect cake for my beautiful Emma’s 3rd birthday! And, as she exclaimed “oh my gosh. I LOVE it.” Plus, got to ✔️off using fondant for the first time! #bakingobsessed #bakingbrag #favoriteaunt #cinderella #fondant #baking #princess #thirdbirthday #cake . . . . . 📷: thanks for the awesome portrait mode @laurcane

If you could smell these right now... 🤤 🤤. I’ve been trying to recreate the amazing coconut fudge brownies at @properlyfueled for some time, and thanks for a great recipe find by @simplydelightfultreats I’m almost there! Grain free, gluten free, sugar free, soy free brownies - despite all that they’re lacking, they’re gooey, chocolatey, and full-on delicious! 🍫 🥄 Jury is out until final ruling tomorrow from official taste testers 😍😋 . . 💡Inspired by @properlyfueled 🥣Recipe : @therealfoodrds 💕Taste testers: @amylynn1976 + @daniellemarasco25

Beautiful cupcakes to shower a beautiful bride! Happy wedding shower day @kellyamartin77 😍🤗!! ##cupcakes #baking #chocolate #lemon #vanilla #bakingbrag

Happy Passover! Here’s to perfecting my macaroon recipe this year (they’re 🔥), and discovering gluten free matzah is 💯! This might not be so bad after all.....then then again, maybe that’s just the 4 cups of wine🍷 talking. Happy and healthy pesach 2018!

Fan girl moment: this past weekend I had the opportunity to visit and decorate at @charmcitycakes in #Baltimore! Two hours as part of a cupcake decorating class, I got to try my hand at rolling fondant, and making #bachelorette cupcakes in one of the coolest bakeries around! Such a blast, I can’t believe I got to do it! Thank you @charmcitycakes for hosting us, and a special thanks to @duffgoldman for allowing us to make cupcakes in your bakery - I know how you feel about them 😂😉!

Who says #thirty has to be a bad thing? Gold glitter, pink, & stripes?? Yes please! Such a wonderful time celebrating #thirty tonight with @andreavalente and dinging our hearts out!! 🎶🤗🎤#katespadecupcake #pinkfrosting #goldglitter @katespadeny @seventhandj #friends #illbringthecupcakes

#repost because that’s first one got messed up 🤷🏻‍♀️! Spinning cakes 🍰 #latergram #bakingaddict

And just like that- it’s as easy as 1, 2, 3! Delicious chocolate cake with cannoli filling and chocolate cream cheese frosting! Yes please 🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️ #chocolate #workparties #dayoffbakingproject #bakingaddict #noleftovers
