Oh my goodness, I just saw your underwater cake pops, they’re adorable! 💖 You’ve got such an eye for detail, those little designs looked so fun and perfectly themed! I bet everyone at the party was amazed. Do you make them just for family and friends, or do you take orders too?

I just watched a 20 min video on coffee tasting, (@jameshoffmann.bsky.social) just so I could describe the smell of coffee in my own way. Now, I want to learn more about #coffee ☕️ 😄
