They say that diamonds are a girl's best friend.
Well, it might be true that gemstones and jewelry are a must-have. But what if you could translate all that glitter into something sweet and edible?
Even better.
Well, you are in luck. If you haven’t heard of a geode cake then let us be the first to introduce you…
Geode cakes are a layer cake designed to mimic the look of natural geode formations. They were originally made by Rachel Treufel from Intricate Icings, and they soon became an internet sensation.

At the start of each new year, many of us choose to be more intentional in what we eat. It starts with a healthy mindset, but we can easily succumb to the guilt roller coaster following an indulgent treat if we're not careful.
You may know the feeling well - the spiral of shame and self-judgment that follows shortly after your last bite of creamy ice cream - and it takes you on an emotional ride you can’t seem to get off until you find yourself vowing "never to eat [x] again."

You aren't alone if you have intense feelings about Pumpkin Spice. While many of us genuinely appreciate all things Pumpkin Spice - okay, not all things - others would prefer if the hype died or at least, quietly lost steam.
Here's a tip: it's probably best to embrace the pumpkin creep because the flavor profile has been around for centuries, and it's not going away anytime soon.

We’ve all been stress baking throughout 2020, yes, even me. As a professional I clearly love baking, but there is something comforting and cathartic about the process.
The task takes focus but isn’t difficult. It’s just enough to give your brain a break about concerns over the pandemic or the economy (or whatever else ails your busy mind).
