Today I made Mini Victoria Sandwiches with a classic Victoria sponge, homemade raspberry jam, and a vanilla and Cointreau buttercream. Engage in self care because this world needs you. Let this also be a reminder that trans rights are human rights, no human being is illegal, and long live Ukraine!

I haven’t baked in a minute due to mental health. I’ve been struggling, but baking has been an outlet for me. In today’s whirlwind, we all deserve to have things that bring us joy. I made a key lime pie with candied lime peel. It brought me some much needed joy. You deserve joy too.

Now is the time to look up your rights so you can protect yourself and your community.

I made “Eat The Rich” Millionaire’s Shortbread Candy Bars! I developed this recipe myself! I made shortbread with crystallized ginger, a gochujang caramel, and a gochugaru infused chocolate. I also dusted them in edible glitter!
