Thank you! It’s gotten so tiring submitting reports about spam accounts.

😩😩😩😩😩 I’m going to start watermarking my photos but I don’t know if it’ll even make a difference at this point

Now I’m not even sure if they’re stealing real pics or just using #ai generated ones that all look really similar to each other. Bluesky was so nice until this last year 😩

New annoying thing on @bsky.app : spam baking accounts all stealing photos from real users and Mass-posting. They all use the same images so you’ll start to notice it immediately. They seem to have real pics and bios, tons of posts in a couple days but not many followers. #news #photography

I absolutely love the gowns in Bridgerton and the wide variety of colors/fabrics! Even those citrus dresses 👀 Which is your favorite combination? Have you finished the first 4 episodes of season 4 yet? #bridgerton #colorful #desserts #romance #art #foodie #baking #fantasy #netflix @netflix.com

I was able to go Saturday! Turnout wasn’t too good because of the cold and storm prep but we still sold a fair amount 🙂 I’m currently only selling V-day boxes, but you can see the full range of flavors on my website (they just aren’t available now).

Do you have any rules for baked goods? To me, it’s got to be worth the calories whether I’m treating myself or making cookies for my business #baking #cooking #food #foodie #cookies #maryland #dc #smallbusiness #littlebluecart

I think I watch them because I like to see other people’s creative process

Rosemary and black pepper sounds so good! I don’t think I’ve had a whole wheat scone before—is the texture different? The cookies are actually guava and cream cheese after the Cuban pastry.

My latest creation!! Can you guess the flavor? I used to be so stressed about recipe development but now it’s my favorite part about having a cookie business #bakingsky #womenowned #cookies #art #food #photography #foodporn

Horchata Snickerdoodle: My coziest cookie yet! Salvadoran Horchata (the best imho) w/toasted rice, cinnamon & cacao, toasted sesame, morro, & peanut for a full flavor. This soft cookie is then rolled in more Ceylon cinnamon & sugar. Available this Sunday at Winter Clubhouse #baking #art #photography

Last year I got fired from my job at the NIH & pivoted to my side hustle: my microbakery. I spent the year supporting federal workers & speaking up for public health through news appearances & advocacy. I’m also a #DC -born, #MD -grown woman in my 40s who loves the #DMV area #baking #science

I’m putting the final touches on 6 cookies for a local winter market in DC. Here’s the first one! Lmk if you want the market details—it’s Jan 25th. #baking #dc #smallbusiness #cookies #maryland #dmv #nova

I think it’s Ina Garten’s chocolate cake recipe that uses like 2 whole cups of hot coffee and it’s so good! The instant coffee suggestion is great too. I also do a Hazelnut mocha latte cookie and I use Nutella plus Bustelo espresso powder in it

So out of 16 eggs, I removed 3 and added 100g water. I use half regular and half browned butter in my recipe so that helps it not have too much moisture (the browned butter has the water cooked out of it)

I’ll post once I can mail anywhere in the U.S.! 🤗

I love doing that in chocolate cake too! Great method

Gingersnap Jess Baking @gingersnapjess.bsky.social · 13/12/2025

Not now, but I’m working on getting some products to retail locations in the next 6 months in the MD-DC area! And hopefully I’ll be able to shop anywhere in the U.S. soon as well.

Recently changed my brownie recipe to use a little water instead of a couple eggs (I make huge batches so I was using 16 eggs at a time) and I think I like it better! Less oily, more chewy and thicker overall. What do you think? #bakingsky #baking #cooking

What’s everyone making for Thanksgiving dessert? I’m bringing these malted milk chocolate cookies I just created a couple weeks ago. sourcing the malt ball centers was a little difficult but really worth it. They also have Belgian chocolate inside. #food #bakingsky #cookies #dessert #thanksgiving

Yeah culinary “authenticity” is a myth literally everywhere. It’s a ridiculous thing to police and there’s no way to even decide how far back to go before some dish counts as “authentic” because people have also always migrated like, everywhere??? I genuinely don’t get the obsession.

Oh thank you! I’ve been trying to take advantage of the natural light by my patio door and I think that helps?

Gingersnap Jess Baking @gingersnapjess.bsky.social · 07/10/2025

I do in MD! I don’t put my event schedule on here because most of my followers don’t seem to live nearby. I put it on my IG and TikTok though

I’m a big fan of anything besides pumpkin just cause it’s everywhere. Just posted about my fall flavors & I love cardamom with carrot cake

Learning to be my own food stylist and photographer is tough! I have so much respect for people who do these jobs for a living, the learning curve is definitely steep, but I’m trying 😅 Just photographed all my new fall cookie flavors #photography #bakingsky #foodsky #chocolate #cooking #art #baking

Oh love it! Will definitely give it a read. I’m also baking so I don’t commit crimes this year after getting fired from my job at NIH

Hey civil servants & federal contractor friends, please let me know if I can make your day a little brighter with a free cookie at my upcoming events until this ends. 🫶 #shutdown #governmentshutdown #maryland #dc #washingtondc #news #baking #cooking #foodie

I had the chance recently to take part in a NYT piece profiling civil servants from all across the country. What struck me was how much each person cared about their work and how well they could explain its value to the American people. Accessible link: archive.ph/tjDub #drp #doge #news

I do when making chocolate cake! I add hot coffee to bloom the cocoa powder

Gingersnap Jess Baking @gingersnapjess.bsky.social · 29/09/2025

That’s awful!! But good for you to figure out what helped

Gingersnap Jess Baking @gingersnapjess.bsky.social · 28/09/2025

It’s definitely higher quality than Hershey’s or Tollhouse! I’d say it’s in the middle? Definitely more affordable than Callebaut for example

Weighing is the only was you can ensure your cookies are all exactly the same size and will bake evenly. (You should also weigh your batter between tins when baking cakes or muffins). 🍪 🍰 #bakingsky #baking #bakingtips #cookiesky #foodie #food
