  • My first galette des rois of the year! 🫶🏻 This will always be my favorite pastry to bake and eat. Silky almond cream tucked inside some flaky puff pastry (in this case rough puff)—I mean what’s not to love?

Galette des rois is a French pastry that makes a big appearance in January, specifically January 6th to celebrate the Epiphany (a religiously-tied feast day).

Traditionally you’d hide a small fève (typically a small porcelain charm of some sort) inside the almond cream to make for a fun surprise when serving up pieces. In place of a charm, you can also just use an almond!

Here I followed @emcdowell’s rough puff pastry recipe and @davidlebovitz’s almond cream filling! ❤️ Definitely give this one all try if you never have or get your hands on one at the bakery. They’re the best!

  • Been a minute—hi! 🤗 Popping in to share these oatmeal, fig, & ginger cookies (recipe on my site) which I made again recently for a lovely Friendsgiving thrown by my buddies @cincy_scoop!

This was one of my first recipes back in 2020 and I still find myself coming back to them. A perfectly cozy holiday cookie with an easy, no-fuss recipe. Cinnamon, dried black figs, candied ginger, and crunchy oatmeal edges—yes please.

Hope you all get to relax and enjoy the Thanksgiving holiday today (for those who celebrate)! 🫶🏻

  • It’s our 9-year anniversary today and that is just WILD to me, like who let these children get married?? Every year better than the one that came before it and each spent rotting on the couch watching Gilmore Girls with my best friend—that’s love, honestly. ❤️

(Swipe for tired baby faces in London from our honeymoon! Maybe we go back for 10? 👀)
  • More final and process photos from this Gala Pie, my sixth Bake Off Technical Challenge! Swipe through for closeups off the pretty hot water crust pastry and the absolutely foul and revolting filling! 🥰

Again, I’m a vegetarian so I made this one with a red bean/oatmeal mixture that is honestly not terrible on its own, but with hard boiled eggs?? No thank you?

WHERE THINGS WENT WRONG
- The invention of this recipe in the first place, lol.
- The filing ended up tasting a little dry and in hindsight would up the seasonings too!

WHERE THINGS WENT RIGHT
- I mean we nailed the hot water crust pastry? 💅 I’ve never made it before so the process for that was wild, but it turned out golden and cute I thought!
- The eggs (*gags*) to filling ratio worked out well.
- Technically it looks how it should and I feel confident in my placing with top marks on this one! Paul Hollywood, thoughts?

Onto the next bake ASAP so that I don’t have to think about this one anymore, kthx! And if it sounds or looks tasty to you, then more for you! *passes the fork*

  • This Bake Off technical was a fun one for me! Got to make some pastry, a little jam, dabble with chocolate—what’s not to love? 🫶🏻 Swipe through a bit more videos from the process and closeups of this white chocolate and mixed berry tart!

WHERE THINGS WENT WRONG
- My white chocolate ganache either set too long or was too cold? The texture was a bit rubbery, but at least it still tasted good!
- I didn’t add any chocolate decorations on top because I panicked, lol. It just looked so neat and clean I was afraid to go too far and ruin it!

WHERE THINGS WENT RIGHT:
- Quite possibly the best pâte sucrée (sweet shortcrust pastry) I’ve ever made. It just all came together, rolled super thin, but still held firm and was perfectly golden. Proud of myself for that one!
- The mixed berry jam layer (blackberries, blueberries, raspberries) was a delight too and gorgeous to look at. It paired well with the white chocolate!
- I think she looks cute and professional, okay?? 

Now onto the next technical challenge which is a gala pie and might end me—meat and hard boiled eggs?? 🤢 SOS, wish me luck (and send me veggie gala pie recc’s please)!
