🎉My new Washington Post article is out, taste testing Meghan, Duchess of Sussex’s new As Ever raspberry fruit spread against a bunch of other brands to see which is the best.

Not only did we conduct this taste test totally blind, we also brought in some of DC’s best bakers and pastry chefs to judge at a pro level—thanks to @shakinbaker219 , @tiffmacisaac , and @capitoljillbaking .

Want to see which preserves won? It was VERY close, and the result might surprise you. Here’s the link! https://wapo.st/4lGXrB3

🍰 C A K E E X C H A N G E 🍰

a little late with the post, but a few weeks ago I had the chance to attend @thebigcakeexchange. The rules were simple: everyone shows up with a whole cake, and goes home with as many slices of other cakes as you could fit in your box. say less.

the hardest part was choosing what kind of cake to make. I went with a creamy coconut cake | black sesame ganache + passionfruit curd fillings | coconut sugar swiss meringue buttercream.

it was so much fun hanging out with other cake enthusiasts. swipe through to see some of the other delicious creations. Thanks @capitoljillbaking and @tiffmacisaac for organizing an amazing event. already looking forward to the next one! let me know if you want to come.

Big congratulations to Jill for hitting her 100th class milestone at F45 Capitol Hill DC!

Whether she’s crushing sets on the floor or whipping up something delicious in the kitchen, Jill brings energy, joy, and the perfect sprinkle of sweetness to everything she does. Known around the Hill for being an incredible baker (seriously, if you’ve had her bread or cake, you know), she’s just as legendary for her consistency, and good vibes in the studio.

We’re so lucky to have you as part of this fit fam, Jill. Here’s to 100 more!

Such a fun and unique event unfolded in DC yesterday at @thebigcakeexchange ! It was truly wonderful seeing everyone's creative baking talents on full display – from classic chocolate to beautifully decorated masterpieces. The concept is brilliant: bring one full-sized cake and leave with a delightful collection of new and exciting flavors to try. It was such a heartwarming community gathering, connecting over a shared love of delicious treats. Sweet treats and good company made for the perfect afternoon! Did anyone else attend?

Proceeds from ticket sales went to @nstreetvillagedc. Their mission is to help women experiencing homelessness get back on their feet by offering services from housing to healthy meal access.

🙋🏽‍♀️Follow @takeanodyssey for more foodie adventures 💕

Special thank you to @capitoljillbaking and @tiffmacisaac for putting this together and @dauphinesdc for providing a space for us to host it in partnership with @drinkdona and @leonardpaper. Also a special shoutout to the volunteers who helped bring this to light AND baked a cake too!

📣PRO TIP TIME 📣

Making a new buttercream flavor for the first time? Don’t add the flavor to the whole batch of buttercream because if you put in too much YOU CAN’T TAKE IT OUT!

Here I’m making a salted black sesame buttercream for the first time. I started by weight out 200 grams of buttercream then weighed the amount of black sesame paste it took to get the flavor just right.

Now I know for every 200 grams of plain buttercream I need 23 grams of black sesame paste. I can’t mix the rest knowing the finished product will be chef’s kiss 👩🏼‍🍳💋
