Late post BUT better than never! Back in January I Late post BUT better than never! Back in January I turned 37. My husband asked me what I wanted to do for my birthday and, as you can see, I just wanted to BAKE! I had no inspo for this cake, I just started going and decorating until I eventually ended up with this cutie baby 😍 Age is a question of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter ✌️
Looooooong time no post but this one is long overd Looooooong time no post but this one is long overdue! When one of our friends said they were getting eloped with their fiance (who just moved to Texas and knew no one) I couldn't bear the thought of them not having a beautiful cake to share. The only thing I knew about the bride to be was that she is British, loves rosé, and sunflowers were her all time favorite flower. I created this cake with all of those elements in mind! . . . This lovely little beauty consists of moist pink champagne cake layers brushed with a rosé simple, strawberry rosé mousse, fresh macerated strawberries, and covered in vanilla bean Swiss meringue buttercream. Instead of using fresh flavors, I opted to use silk flowers, so that they could keep them for the rest of their days ❤️ . . . #weddincake #homemade #lovestory #madewithlove #forever #aprilwedding #sunflowers
Y'all, if you haven't been to @_fairlane_cc you ar Y'all, if you haven't been to @_fairlane_cc you are MISSING OUT! This brand new coffee and cocktail shop is in the heart of dripping springs and is oh so good. With their delish coffees, carefully crafted cocktails, and amazing food trucks, this place is hitting on all levels. They are also kid friendly with a huge playscape! We tried the @a.t.eatzburgerjoint peach habanero wings and they were incredible. They also offer MASSIVE burgers, fries, onion rings, and fried pickles. We also tried the quesabirria tacos from @mrchingontaqueria and I was blown away. They were so fresh and rich, almost forgot to take a picture! Haha. Please excuse my messy consomé pic, like I said, I was excited 🤪 Come on out and give this locally owned family business a try, you won't be disappointed 😎
The song says it all! Honestly guys, I've been bak The song says it all! Honestly guys, I've been baking a long time and have baked soooooooo many things, but nothing beats a fresh baked chocolate chip cookie.

You can take the girl out of Texas, but you can't You can take the girl out of Texas, but you can't take the Texas out of the girl 🤠🥩🤘 Found the most excellent meat market up here in Washington that has all the meat you could ever imagine! @owensmeats in point Ruston is truly outstanding. They have a large selection of beef, pork, chicken, and specialty meats like lamb and veal. What caught my eye though, was this MASSIVE 3.5 pound tomahawk ribeye 😍 Nothing is better than drinking an ice cold @cruxfermentationproject IPA and grilling up some BEEF! Cooked this bad boy to the most perfect medium rare and it was so delicious. The puppies even got a special treat which they greatly appreciated 😅🤣🥰🐾 To all my PNW followers, if you live in the Seattle/Tacoma area I HIGHLY recommend @owensmeats if you are looking for excellent quality meat and an unforgettable dinner!
What do you get when you mix apples, brown sugar, What do you get when you mix apples, brown sugar, and bourbon in a bowl and dunk some fatty pork chops in? The most delicious moist meat ever! These babies were complete with a brown sugar bourbon rub and smothered with a chile bourbon brown sugar glaze. #homechef #grilling #ATXhomechef #pork #porkchops #webergrill #charcoal #yummy
Went to peru last week and WOW! What an experience Went to peru last week and WOW! What an experience! Not only were there breathtaking views, llamas, and alpacas, there was an insane amount of food! Posts are pics of the street eats I had while there. @picarones_elvirita was by far my favorite, they were delicious and the owner was so sweet. She has been making them for over 40 years! Picarones are Peruvian fried sweet potato doughnuts topped with fig honey 🍯😋 also pictures are chicharrones and anticucho (grilled cows heart) which are traditional Peruvian street food! #peru #cusco #lima #peruvian #picarones #anticucho #chicharrones #peruvianfood #peruvianfoodie #peruvianadventures #yummy
I bet you can't guess what slab of meat this is 😜 I bet you can't guess what slab of meat this is 😜 Seriously though guys, these pork chops were AMAZING thanks to my friends @behrnespeppersalts! I had these babies custom cut for me so they were extra thick and delicious. I brined these beauties in an apple cider brown sugar brine for 24 hours and rubbed them down with my brown sugar rub featuring @behrnespeppersalts smoked chipotle salt, paprika, pepper, and other secret ingredients 😉 Then, I smoked them on my @kamadojoe Big Joe smoker and finished them off with a flaming sear on my grill. They got topped with my homemade apple onion sauce and served on a big fluffy pile of my chipotle buttered whipped sweet potatoes. These turned out way better than I imagined they would! Juicy, tender, smoky, sweet, they hit ALL the marks! #behrnespeppersalt #kamadojoe #kamadojoenation #atx #atxhomechef #drippingsprings #drippingspringshomechef #foodie #austinfoodie #atxfoodie #porkchops #meat #pork #apple #applesauce #onion #sweetpotato #fall #fallrecipes #yummy

I am beyond excited to share these beauties with e I am beyond excited to share these beauties with everyone! I surprised my friends over at @desertdoor with these beautiful, and delicious, macarons! They are filled with a salted caramel spiked with their oak aged Texas Sotol, caramel buttercream, and finished off with hand painted Sotol plants. 😍🖌️ Oak aged sotol tastes very much like bourbon, so this is my play on bourbon salted caramel. Guys, it's beyond delicious, even better than bourbon caramel! A fun fact about @desertdoor is that they are the ONLY Sotol in the US and also employs the most amazing people on this planet. They are nestled right here in dripping springs Texas and are worth the visit! Come on out and pay these wonderful folks a visit, your only regret will be that you didn't go sooner 😉🥂 P.s. I wish it was actually that quick to decorate all of those shells 😂 #drippingspringstx #atx #desertdoor #sotol #local #macaron #frenchmacaron #homebaker #homemade #foodie #caramel #saltedcaramel #buttercream #distillery #localmade #supportlocal #gold #yummy

If you haven't been to @turcottebutchers yet in Dr If you haven't been to @turcottebutchers yet in Dripping Springs, you are doing yourself a disservice. RUN, don't walk, over to this family owned butchers shop and delicatessen. They have a huge selection of meats and cheeses as well as special order meats to choose from. In addition, they have a fabulous menu for dining in! Pictured here is their bacon jam burger which was literally to die for. It's topped with their homemade bacon jam AND a fried onion ring 😍 Not feeling a burger? Try one of their hot and delish cheese steaks, sandwiches, salads, or appetizers!

Happy Friday friends! Believe it or not, September Happy Friday friends! Believe it or not, September is almost over and October is quickly approaching. That means only one thing.... OKTOBERFEST! Although this festival is celebrated in September, October, and sometimes even November, the festival actually originated on October 12 in 1810 and is traditionally celebrated in Munich Germany over a two week period and ends on the first week of October! Since we are technically right in the middle of Oktoberfest I felt it fitting to share my beautiful schwarzwälder kirschtorte, or, black forest cake! 😜 This cake is a delish chocolate sponge cake, soaked with kirsch syrup and filled with kirsch soaked cherries, covered in a delicate whipped icing, hand shaved chocolate, and topped with more kirsch cherries! Yes, there are some Maraschinos on there because I ran out of my kirsch cherries, please don't turn me into the German police 🙃 #atx #atxbaker #atxhomebaker #blackforestcake #cake #dessert #chocolate #cherries #kirsch #german #germany #oktoberfest #blackforest #yummy

Have you ever made sushi at home? I'm here to tell Have you ever made sushi at home? I'm here to tell ya, it's a whole lot of fun AND, you get more bang for your buck! I made several fresh rolls using yellowtail and salmon supplied by @asahiimports. If your looking to create some sushi magic at your home too, I recommend checking them out.
