French Silk Pie (aka THE BEST PIE IN THE WORLD)

I thought I'd give y'all a bakery update. It's been a WHILE, right? Hopefully you're following along on my Instagram account (@eatmebakerympls). I've started looking at bakery spaces, but the options are pretty limited. I'm holding out hope that something will come available in the next few months, but my opening date may be pushed… Continue reading French Silk Pie (aka THE BEST PIE IN THE WORLD)

The Best Chocolate Cake

I made this cake a few weeks ago for Hannah's husband's birthday. He requested chocolate cake, and gave me no other fucking information. I was like, "But what kind of chocolate? Chocolate on chocolate or vanilla frosting? Maybe a raspberry filling? German chocolate? Nuts? Ganache? Dark or milk?" Honestly, my chocolate questions can go on and… Continue reading The Best Chocolate Cake
