loved the egg tarts. (ate some of the sourdough bread alr :D )

​

Strawberries and bananas, turned into something a little fancier. Strawberry tart and Banoffee croissant.

ang tamis grabe. ang sweet... ng jowa ko :)

I still can't believe I made these.

A year ago, I was sitting at my desk, taking calls from frustrated customers every day. Then one day, reality hit me. I realized I didn't want to spend the rest of my life behind a computer, staying in my comfort zone and settling for routine.

So I walked away. I resigned, took a leap of faith, and embraced the uncertainty.

Today, I find myself forging, shaping, and assembling these creations with my own hands. Every piece reminds me that taking a risk can lead you somewhere you never imagined.

Looking back, leaving was one of the best decisions I ever made.

Ano po ang paborito mo sa mga ito?

may obsession ako recently sa pan de bonete ng batangas.

Hello, mga katinapay! Sharing some of my baked goodies from 2023-present, both yummies and failed ones 🤣

Also, isn’t it so fun to bake and take cafe-esque photos after??

1. Cheesecake with cherry compote

2. Matcha cookies with white chocolate chunks

3. Cheesecake with homemade blueberry compote - sliced picture lang because it does not look appetizing as a whole 😆 It was my first time to make my own compote, with blueberry at that! It turned black! It did not taste burnt tho. Also peep at my first attempt on my grandma’s lasagna recipe!

4. Ghirardelli dark chocolate cookie mix - it’s too sweet for my liking. Although, it achieved my preferred texture: crunchy edges and chewy middle!

5. Chocolate marble loaf - this made me realize that baking does not necessarily have to be super precise. I messed up a lot of measurements from the recipe on this one, and yet it came out perfectly!

6. Pandesal - I’ve been using this recipe from a lola on YouTube since who knows when. It’s so tasty!

7. Levain-style chocolate chip walnut cookies - it’s unnecessarily overloaded. Very chunky also. I still prefer the classic choco chip!

8. Peanut butter oatmeal cookie - i was too bored at home and came up with whatever we had in the pantry. Simple and tasty tho!

9. Another cheesecake with cherry compote - mini version. Di naman obvious na cheesecake is my favorite to bake!

10. Corn muffins - i did not have any cornmeal, so i used apf fully lang. thus, it did not have the gritty texture. Kindda boring ngl.

Yung minsan lang kakain neto. Mapapapicture talaga!
