Hey friends❣️

It's true, if you make any one of these memorable spring cakes for friends they'll be asking for them again and again, for years to come!

OMGoodness! I followed the recipe exactly (which I rarely do) and it was delicious! My husband had to have seconds but I resisted. It will be perfect to make for a brunch I am hosting next week! I love your recipes and love that they are different from others I see online! Thank you, thank you!

​Blueberry Lemon Cake 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Best spring cake ever! I’m a nurse and made this to bring to the unit and people remember it years later and have asked me to make it again many times! I love baking but this was my first attempt at a citrus flavored cake and it turned out amazing!

So glad rhubarb is in season again so I could try this recipe. We loved it! Pretty as it is good!

I love to make delicious food, photograph it, and write about it, but mostly, I just love to EAT. Isn’t that what it’s all about? My recipes are bold and vibrant, but totally approachable ~ and my philosophy? We should all have the tools to feed ourselves well, and the confidence to cut loose a little in the kitchen. Food should be fun!
