                    Instagram post 2229272580641377118_39042094 I’m bowled over! 🎂 . . I feel like a star baker ⭐️ from all the messages you’ve been sending me over yesterday’s story updates, so here are a couple photos in case you missed the bake du jour. . . This beauty was made for a 3 part video series getting up close and personal making layer cakes. This is designed for regular people like you and me!! The home bakers!! . . This is a cake we regular people can make at home. And you’ll be happy to know the cake is from @bettycrocker (with a couple of small tweaks by yours truly) so no stress over the cake making part of this. Betty makes it easy! Frosting from scratch using my own recipe. 💛 . . . . . . #layercake #homebakedcake #bettycrocker #cakemix #cakestagram #homekitchen #homebaker #homebakedcake #homebakers #feedfeed #food52gram #cakecakecake #ibakedthis #pattymacbakes #cakesofinstagram #cakedecoratingideas #🎂🎂🎂 #🍰🍰
                    Instagram post 2227920704679370693_39042094 In crafts when we are in the middle of an unfinished project that we are actively working on, we call it a WIP or a work in progress. Here’s my WIP for today. . . I’m working on a video project about making layer cakes at home. Something that regular people can do. This is the crumb coated cake waiting for it’s final frosting! . . I see people making 6 and 7 layer layer cakes day in and day out and I wonder who is eating all that cake? Are they orders for a party? How does the baker manage to do all that baking and decorating every day? Do you have any idea of the amount of frosting it takes for those monsters? And how in the world can they do all that baking and still have such beautiful manicures? Something seems off to me. 🤪 . . This is 3 layers of 6” cake rounds so a regular sized cake 🎂 perfect for a home baker. I am going to focus in on the things we Home bakers can accomplish. Because this fancy, over the top Instagram stuff is getting a little crazy. Who else is ready to embrace a little normalcy? 🙋🏻‍♀️Scroll to see my cakes baking and what I used to level them. . . . . . . #homebakedcake #homebakers #bettycrocker #bettycrockerrecipe #bettycrockercakemix #cakemixhack #bakestagram #bakefeed #layercake #ilovetobake #crumbcoat #nakedcake #nakedcakes

                    Instagram post 2221294843096089568_39042094 Listen darling, did you know that you really only need ONE muffin recipe to make ALL the muffins? ⁠😳 .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ Yup. Just one. The RIGHT one. Click the link in my bio to get my basic muffin recipe. Also...I'm including very thorough mixing instructions with this one. And a video recipe demonstration. Because, even though it's a pretty simple thing, it should be mixed just so. ⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ Here I added blueberries, but they are so good, you can serve them plain. Kids can go through a picky stage where they don't "like things in their food" and baking these plain will make everybody happy. Make sure you are subbed and following and all the things so you don't miss the upcoming versions of this delicious bake.⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ #bakingacake #ilovebaking #instabaker #bakinglife #bakingday⁠⠀ #instabaking #bakingaddiction #bakingfun #bakingtherapy #baking101 #bakingislove #bakingmakesmehappy #bakingseason #bakingskills #bakestagram #bakingadventures #bakebakebake #thebakefeed #bakerslife #instabake #bakeyourworldhappy #bakedfromscratch #muffintime #muffinrecipe #kidfriendly⁠⠀ #feedfeed
                    Instagram post 2218330192284484916_39042094 Who else has been on the organization and goal setting train? 🚂⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ I straightened my baking cabinet yesterday so I have a good clear space for mixing and experimenting. Baking has taken up a significant space in my kitchen these days, and I'm kind of surprised by how many items it takes to make a good bake. That being said, I'm grateful to have the space for this and I'm grateful to have accumulated such a lovely collection that will allow me to work on some special baking projects this year. 🍽️⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ This lovely book was my Christmas gift and @kimjoyskitchen is definitely my biggest baking inspiration. You can see the sweet little lemon deer I made over the holidays (yes I still have some decorated cookies left) posed with her beautiful book. She has some tips for improving decorated cookies, and that is high on my list for this year of baking projects to improve upon.⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ Have you got any special baking goals for this year? Please share in the comments your top 3 baking goals for this year!! Here's mine! 1. Improve my decorated cookies 2. Improve on my layer cakes (see previous post on how I'm already working on that one) and 3. Improve my handling of meringue and make all sorts of meringue based recipes.⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ #bakingaddiction #bakersofinstagram #bakingblog #bakestagram #bakerslife #bakedgoods #bakerlife #homebaked #lovetobake #homebake #homebaking #bakinglove #bakingday #bakingathome #lovebaking #bakingfun #bakinglife #bakefromscratch #bakersgonnabake #ilovebaking #weekendbaking #bakingmakesmehappy #hobbybaker #kimjoy #bakebakebake #passionforbaking #selftaughtbaker ⁠⠀
