More baking pics! This weekend I took a class at the local community education center on cupcake decorating 🥰 really happy with how these turned out and I learned so much about piping and buttercream!

I realize I post more baking content than science content....but I hope no one minds 😁

Lussekatter for Santa Lucia day! Saffron buns with a touch of cardamom.

Today's bake: lemon poppyseed and cheddar chive scones 😋

Some holiday treats I made when I was home visiting my family last week. Pomegranate cardamom apple pie, cinnamon rolls, and a holiday French 75 (added in a cranberry syrup!) ❤️🎄

Let the Friendsgiving baking commence!

Some fun facts...I have a cat named Baby. I like to dress up and document my outfits. I'm an amateur naturalist with an interest in fungi. This year I took up knitting and have been working on the same sweater for 8 months. I bake frequently and have played 2 level 1-20 D&D campaigns.

Intro post! My name is Grace, I have a PhD in Microbiology from Oregon State where I studied the gut microbiome and health/behavior in a mouse model of autism and in Nosema-infected honeybees. I'm currently a postdoc at Harvard using organs-on-chips to study biotherapeutics for intestinal diseases.

Science posts soon. For now enjoy this seven strand plaited loaf I baked over the weekend and enjoyed with whipped honey butter and tea, while finishing up a fantasy novel on the couch. #baking
