Rachel @chemist-that-bakes.bsky.social · 19/08/2025As American as... (okay I'm not feeling at all patriotic but I really wanted apple pie, and Claire Saffitz's pie crust recipe is absolutely bomb) #baking #BakeSky #pie 040
Rachel @chemist-that-bakes.bsky.social · 15/08/2025Second week of August #BookSky! I only finished one new book because I got sucked into @taskmaster.tv 👂Happy Place by Emily Henry: a beautifully written story, loved the back-and-forth timelines, but boy golly these people need to learn to effing communicate. Fantastic narration by Julia Whelan. 010
Rachel @chemist-that-bakes.bsky.social · 08/08/2025Going to do weekly #BookSky recaps since my monthlies are too long. First week of August! My TBR is never-ending, but I will always take more book recs. Read down-thread for reviews. 1/5 120

Rachel @chemist-that-bakes.bsky.social · 06/07/2025I had some egg yolks to use up and decided to give ice cream sandwiches a try! Riff on a chipwich. They go well with the hot summer temps lately. #baking #BakeSky #IceCream 040
Rachel @chemist-that-bakes.bsky.social · 02/07/2025June #BookSky recap! All romance thanks to my bingo challenge. Doing mostly audiobooks, my eyes ain’t what they used to be. 👂A Simple Twist of Fate: a sweet, emotional story, loved that all the types of magical people are a natural and accepted part of the world. @novelsbyapril.bsky.social 1/5 131
Rachel @chemist-that-bakes.bsky.social · 27/06/2025Anyone wanna give book recs? I'm attempting to blackout bingo this Opendoor Romance challenge. The starred items, I don't have books for yet. Fire 'em at me! Not repeating authors and only counting books read between Jun 6-Aug 31. #books #BookSky #romance 452
Rachel @chemist-that-bakes.bsky.social · 21/06/2025Feelin' summery and made vanilla and blackberry cupcakes for a lovely night with @littlegraysea.bsky.social and friends last night. #baking #BakeSky #cupcakes 190
Rachel @chemist-that-bakes.bsky.social · 07/06/2025Weekend bake: lemon mulberry layered bars! Bright and sweet and they hit the spot. #baking #BakeSky #berries 050
Rachel @chemist-that-bakes.bsky.social · 04/06/2025A twofer #Booksky recap for April/May. 📖The Mask Falling-holy effing CLIFFHANGER. I need to get the next book asap. Get sucked into this intricate world! @samanthashannon.bsky.social 📖Temple of Swoon-cute archaeology romcom, light and fun read. @josegurabooks.bsky.social 1/5 160
Rachel @chemist-that-bakes.bsky.social · 25/05/2025I've snagged around 7 pounds of mulberries so far and plenty to go. Made a batch of jam and, well, had to try it out with homemade biscuits! Delicious if a bit more chunky than jammy. I've also got a gallon of mulberry wine fermenting. What should I make next? #jam #berries #baking #BakeSky 030
Rachel @chemist-that-bakes.bsky.social · 21/05/2025First haul this season from the mulberry tree - I was only out there for 15 minutes and pulled 1.3 pounds. It's ridiculously fun to put a tarp down and then shake the hell out of the branches. Tomorrow - jam! #berries #nomnomnom 020
Rachel @chemist-that-bakes.bsky.social · 14/05/2025Some lil vanilla and strawberry cupcakes, because why not? The kiddo got in on the frosting fun. #baking #cupcakes #BakeSky 060
Rachel @chemist-that-bakes.bsky.social · 21/04/2025The cake is a lie...well, not in this house! Birthday cake for my darling. First time making genoise or black forest. Photo from the game included for comparison - I didn't quite get the coating coverage but I'm still happy! #baking #cake #portal 040
Rachel @chemist-that-bakes.bsky.social · 15/04/2025Mid-week bake. It's peanut butter cookie time! #baking #BakeSky #cookies 070
Rachel @chemist-that-bakes.bsky.social · 03/04/2025March #booksky recap! I enjoyed Bow Before the Elf Queen (❤️ narration by Bridget/Jake Bordeaux). Finally got next book in the Bone Season series and adored it. And I passed time with an old favorite, the Invisible Library. @samanthashannon.bsky.social @genevievecogman.bsky.social 060
Rachel @chemist-that-bakes.bsky.social · 29/03/2025Cupcake time! I'm getting into spring with sweet strawberry cupcakes. Also, a chance to break in my new apron. #BakeSky #cupcakes 020
Rachel @chemist-that-bakes.bsky.social · 24/03/2025Tonight's dinner: homemade ramen! I made the broth, tare, and finishing from this Serious Eats recipe (with a few changes based on availability of ingredients) and added a marinated soft-boiled egg. Absolutely delish. #cooking #CookSky #ramen www.seriouseats.com/vegan-ramen-... 0100
Rachel @chemist-that-bakes.bsky.social · 04/03/2025February #booksky recap! I bounced all over the place last month, revisiting some old favorites while I waited for The Reckoning to come available from the library. FYI, the audiobooks for Murderbot are *incredible* so shout out to @kevinrfree.bsky.social for that! 020
Rachel @chemist-that-bakes.bsky.social · 16/02/2025This weekend bake is back to bread. Made kardemummabullar (cardamom buns) as it's one of my husband's favorite flavors. He's already devoured two and they've been out of the oven all of fifteen minutes... #baking #bread #BreadSky 160
Rachel @chemist-that-bakes.bsky.social · 09/02/2025Minimalist decoration on this weekend bake. Chocolate sponge, orange Italian meringue buttercream, orange curd filling, and candied orange peel for decor. Eventually I'll get the hang of smooth buttercream sides... The kid devoured it, which is high praise. #CakesOfBlueSky #cakes #baking 030
Rachel @chemist-that-bakes.bsky.social · 01/02/2025January #booksky recap! I'm SO hooked on the Bone Season series; I keep staying up way too late reading. @samanthashannon.bsky.social 2171
Rachel @chemist-that-bakes.bsky.social · 27/01/2025Doing a little Sunday therapy baking. Lil' 6" vanilla cake with lemon Swiss meringue buttercream and lemon curd filling. #cake #CakesOfBlueSky #baking 180
Rachel @chemist-that-bakes.bsky.social · 25/01/2025What? We're sleeping here. #BlueSkyCats #Caturday 0100
