Made some cookie cakes for family Easter stuff. I particularly like the bunny butts. #nerdybaker #mnbaker #minnesotabaker #cottagefoodbaker #cottagefoodproducer #easterbaking #baking #queerbaker #chocolatechipcookie #cookiecake
A large chocolate chip cookie with chocolate and maroon frosting around the edge. Frosting then makes an image in the center of the cookies of 6 pink flowers with stems and leaves and grass, with three chocolate bunny tails and feet sticking out of the grass.

Who doesn’t love a savory scone? These are my Dill Green Onion Parmesan scones that have become a hit at @wildvintagemarket each month. A pillowy, buttery scone packed with all the dill, salty Parmesan, and savory sweet green onion. #scone #scones #savory #savorybaking #dill #queerbaker #baking

Fill in the blank: C or P? Hint: both are correct. I made a cake inspired by a post by @blcksmth.bsky.social, and prompted by some random Trumper DMing me with unsolicited business advice. To those that think I shouldn’t be political, even though my identity is a political issue for some - F*ck off

I realized I forgot to post some holiday bakes. These are @easygayoven ‘s chocolate mint marshmallow cookies. They were simply delicious! Tender chocolate biscuits, pillowy marshmallow, and some delicious chocolate coating. #mnbaker #minnesotabaker #bakersofinstagram #queerbaker #baking

Oops I spilled my drink! What a better way to celebrate a birthday than with a martini and a triple chocolate and peanut butter cake. Dark chocolate rye cake with peanut butter filling, chocolate buttercream, dark chocolate ganache, and a fudge frosting. #minnesotabaker #queerbaker #queerbusiness
A collage of theee photos of a a cake with a martini glass sticking out of it. The martini glass has gold lettering that says “a tini bit older”. The cake is covered in chocolate frosting with chocolate covering the top and dripping down one side.

We are about to enter an era of extreme and dangerous culture war in the United States. How do we protect our communities and work toward a cultural ceasefire? In this piece I wrote a couple months ago, I offer one possible path. wapo.st/40q1BDn
