Inside the semla (because this is obviously the best part)

Swedish semla, which is a basic bun filled with almond paste and cream

First attempt at cardamom buns because I got back from Sweden and missed it sooo much

Raspberry Rugelach (and also in the cookie box)

Hazelnut babka swirl cookies (also in the cookie box)

Black and White Cookies for my Hanukkah cookie boxes this year

Apple pie from Thanksgiving

Coffee cake

Strawberry and frangipane galette (I paid for my first-ever Substack subscription to get this recipe, lol), and in the back, a simple olive oil cake :)

Berry Chantilly cake for my brother’s fiancée’s birthday! First time using a piping bag... and honestly, I need some practice. I highly recommend ermine frosting to anyone who is tired of traditional American buttercream!

My boyfriend's 24th birthday cake! Inspired by his love of strawberry shortcake, I made a vanilla cake, with a fresh strawberry filling in between the layers, and a whipped vanilla cream ganache.

My holy grail chocolate chip cookie recipe that I always turn to.

A 23rd birthday cake I made for myself, modeled after an almond croissant with frangipane filling in between vanilla-almond cake layers.

Valentine's Day was my excuse to use this fancy ruby chocolate that had been sitting in my pantry for months. I bought this cute cookie tin to give to my boyfriend <3
