He/Him
Hiiii there! I'm Villox. I'm a busybody baker, and I'm always happy to meet someone new.
I'm an arctic fox Protogen. The sweetest Protogen, at that!
If you wanna talk, I'll do my best to keep up! If you want some baking tips or recipes, I'm here!
The cookies win! I find that most often than not, cookies are the winners of these polls. Maybe I should have cookie recipes exclusively when cookies are in the running.~
Anyway! Thank you to everyone who voted, and be sure to catch the cookies next week.~ ×^vvv^×

My salted caramel chocolate bars!~ Essentially, they have the same makeup as millionaire shortbread, but with less separate layering and with shortbread on top AND bottom.~
All I have to do is cut and portion them.~ ^vvv^

My favorite chocolate chip cookies I've ever had. Of course, they're my grandmother's recipe.~
The batch is huge, but that makes sense. Part of the joy of baking is sharing sweet kindness with others. I bet she touched a lot of people with these. I know I appreciate the impact...~ ^vvv^

Salted chocolate caramel bars win this time! And if they're anything like my millionaire shortbread, I have a lot of reason to be excited. Even in the name, there's multiple flavors I'm a fan of.~
Thank you to everyone who voted, and I'll post about my grandmother's cookies soon.~ ^vvv^

My babies! I love love LOVE pumpkin cream cheese muffins, even if these ones really put me to the test. Unfortunately, they're far too hot for my visor to let me eat right now, but I'll absolutely be updating later on how they taste.~ ^vvv^
eeeeeeeeeeee!!

Brought back from the brink of a vote against it, pumpkin cream cheese muffins are back for their shot! I'm so excited for this. One of my favorite fall treats by far, and I'm so giddy whenever I see somewhere selling them! Thanks for voting, everyone!~ ^vvv^

These are so easy to make! Incredibly soft and a nice wash of maple in the aftertaste, the pecans add a nice finishing touch to the flavor as well. No surprise, I like the maple cookies.~
Luckily, so does my husband, who only told me he doesn't really like maple after he tried one.~ ^vvv^

Pumpkin pie!~
When it comes to fall dessert flavors, pumpkin pie has a very special place in my heart. As a child, I would be the one going for secondary slices of pumpkin pie at family events while the other children thought pumpkin pie would be "yucky".~
Diversify. Your. Palate. Early.~ ×^vvv^×

Maple cookiiiiiiies! These are going to have that nice, tan maple glaze that you would see on maple bars (which are my ABSOLUTE favorite kind of donuts.~)
What a nice welcoming treat to Fall, eh?~ ^vvv^

IMMEASURABLE thanks to @eevylution.bsky.social for this piece! I'm a fan of his art style, and he's SUPER friendly to work with! I cannot recommend him enough for quality, affordable art.~ ^vvv^
"Overmix"
Just because the rush hit me hard doesn't mean I can't whip up a little party for myself.~

These. Are. Outstanding!~
The lemon in the filling is faint, but noticeable. The marshmallow in the filling lends to some amazing texture, and I still feel the tingle from the ginger on the back of my tongue, despite trying one a half hour ago.~
Also, it's a quick favorite for my husband.~ ×^vvv^×

Hehehe, classic pumpkin pie it is! Definitely within my top three favorite pies (along with two others that I'll let you guess.~)
Also an excuse to use my nice ceramic pie dishes again.~
Thank you to everyone who voted! I'll post about the lemon-gingerbread whoopie pies later.~ ^vvv^

Cinnamon roll breeeead! This was incredibly easy to make! It turned out more moist than I expected, given how much cinnamon I used!~
The crumb is perfect, it's nice and soft, and it really does taste like a cinnamon roll without the icing.~
But I think it stands nicely on its own.~ ×^vvv^×
October 1, 2025 at 2:25 AM
Hehe, I'm baaaack!~ ^vvv^
October 1, 2025 at 2:22 AM
Thank you for weighing in, everyone! I'll be making lemon gingerbread whoopie pies next week! I'm really excited! Not only do I love anything citrus, but gingerbread is one of my favorite type of cookies!~
Oh. And I absolutely adore marshmallows as well.~ ×^vvv^×

Firstly! I bought these ceramic pie dishes today! They're so heavy and quality!~
And secondly! The husband gets the nice lattice crust! I prefer the abstract, freeform crust that I just had fun with. It smells sooo good in here, and I'm really looking forward to the taste test!~
Eeeeeeee!!!~ ×^vvv^×

Cinnamon roll bread it is! Thank you all sooooo much for the interaction on this! I'm so excited to bake some bread! Focaccia is normally my bread of choice to bake, so I'm truly looking forward to this.~ ^vvv^
(The blueberry pies will be posted later, by the way.~)

I DID IT! I 100%'d Rhythm Doctor!~
What a fun, unique, one-of-a-kind game! So many songs in this game play in my head at random, every day!
This game was so, SO hard to complete, but so fulfilling. I loved this game to pieces.~
I'm so happy to have my golden button.~ ×^vvv^×

This picture is less glamorous as a result of me being just so excited to portion it out, but this is the blackberry swirl cheesecake!~
The crust is made with chocolate wafer cookies, so this cheesecake really covers the whole spectrum from sweet to tangy.~ ^vvv^
September 17, 2025 at 3:17 PM
Almond mascarpone cheesecake with a nutty chocolate topping!~
This cheesecake is super soft and silky, and the toasted almonds in the crust really add to the depth of the flavor. Right away, it doesn't taste like any regular cheesecake.~ ^vvv^
(The other cheesecake will be posted in the morning.~)
September 17, 2025 at 5:43 AM
Okay, that's funny! Nobody wants cherry! Fine by me. I'm gonna put as much love as I can into making blueberry pie next week! Thank all you beautiful people who voted.~ ×^vvv^×

Gosh, imagine trying to scam such a sweet softie like me!~
Unfortunately for them, I don't think I would be that easy to scam, even while I was delirious under sickness and medicine a couple nights ago.~
Not even half-baked.~ ^vvv^
September 15, 2025 at 3:44 PM
So these brownies are definitely for the boozy type!
Since the coffee liqueur is only in the frosting and the ganache, the alcohol doesn't cook out!~
That being said, it's a really tiny burn on the mocha flavor. I'm a fan already.~ ^vvv^
September 10, 2025 at 4:59 AM
So the cheesecake getting the boot is the peach cobbler cheesecake!
That means that for my husband's birthday on the sixteenth, I will be baking him BOTH the almond mascarpone cheesecake AND the blackberry swirl cheesecake!~
Cheesecake is his favorite.~ ×^vvv^×

Hehe! Hey, it's me!~
