roasted strawberry cake with roasted strawberry frosting (and frosting flowers!)

Heyyyy!!! I'm trying something a bit outside my comfort zone! Piping flowers!!

I'm obsessed with Molly Yeh (WHO ISN'T?!!), and finally felt brave enough to try my hand at piping a few of my own flowers out of frosting. Honestly, it was easier than I thought, although it is time consuming! I love that there is really no risk here besides wasting your own time. Ha! And I'm obviously not scared of that! Now, I'm not offering a full flower tutorial here (yet!!), since I'm still such a newbie. But I watched a lot of youtube videos, practiced a lot, and just scraped the ones I didn't like back into the bowl of frosting. Win! Seriously, pipe a bunch onto parchment, and just redo them as you find a technique that works for you. The hardest part is keeping your frosting at the right consistency, so doing this on a super hot day is a no no unless you have A/C! (Or unless you're a late night baker like I am...haha!). If you're frosting starts losing shape, then simply pop it back in the fridge to firm up a bit.

Hello friends! If you're a regular around here, you may have noticed some updates to this space! (It truly looks its best on a computer screen so if you have time please view it there!). I am so happy with how it came out. I love dabbling in a little bit of design here and there, although it always makes me realize that it's probably a good thing that I didn't make a career out of it....it's tough!! And the sweet hand drawn graphics that you'll see pop up as you poke around were done by one of my dearest friends Clara from Clara Cecilia Photography! She is an Edmonton photographer, dabbles in design on the side, and is such an incredible artist in whatever medium she chooses.
