Finally decided what I’m ordering tonight at the restaurant whose menu I’ve been studying for three days

Baker & writer in Atlanta. Find me and pan dulce at the Reynoldstown farmers market every Sunday, 9am-noon.
This old picture of my nephew (he’s 14 now) is cracking me up. He’s holding a potato chip and a tape measure (??) while wearing a guayabera 😂
Sometimes, like now, it kinda pains me to have to hand over the cakes to my customer bc I will miss it. Brown butter cake layers, fig jam filling, fig leaf buttercream & hibiscus accent buttercream.
One of my cake customers gave me access to her fig tree! Fig leaf conchas and cake glaze TK for the market on Sunday
It’s my grandfather’s birthday today, but he’s not here anymore, he’s everywhere now so I’m wishing him a happy birthday in the cosmos. And if I see a monarch today, I’ll know it’s him
AT HEART LIVES ON! Thanks to everyone’s generosity. Funded in just about 24 hours❤️❤️❤️
I am $250 away from $5K. I was ready to make this crowdfund my entire personality for at least a week, luckily for everyone looks like it’ll only be the weekend🥲 (THANK YOU!!!) giveahand.com/fundraiser/a...
At Heart 2.0 by Teresa Finney on Give A Hand

This is at $4,058 in less than 24 hours. Insane. I probably won’t even have to share it on Instagram (thank god, sinister place). Thank you sooo so much!!

Last week while making brioche my stand mixer I’m trying to replace was making a crunchy sound, and then a sound I can only describe as a scream. So anyway that’s why I’m crowdfunding

Crowdfunding for the future
But first I have to get through 2026.

Remember that if you got the Moderna Covid vaccine, you have Dolly Parton to thank, she gave the largest individual contribution toward their research to make it possible.
When a good and decent person leaves this world, I think the best thing we can do to honor them is to try to put even more goodness and decency into the world. It's not that we can replace them or their contribution. It's just that we need it all the more now that they're gone.
Wondering which corporation worth millions will reach out to me this year during Hispanic Heritage Month with outlandish and/or last minute and/or insulting pay order requests!
My market menu this week, plus death.
Market menu missive
Death, and the last of the plums.

A baker I really respect told me today that everything I make has consistency, that every picture I’ve posted of my market pastries basically look identical. Consistency is the hardest thing to accomplish, I think, in production baking so HELL YEAH
I like how i placed this flower on the edge of the cake, kinda like how my tolerance for stupidity is barely hanging on
David Cronenberg’s repeated “they are dead, they are gone, no one lasts forever” actually is really comforting to the grieving eldest granddaughter/first grandkid (me)
If you are not on the path of totality today, let this Annie Dillard classic conjure up for you the breathtaking surreality of an eclipse – one of the most gorgeous things ever written about anything: www.themarginalian.org/2017/08/01/a...
Into the Chute of Time: Annie Dillard on the Stunning Otherworldliness of a Total Solar Eclipse

“kind of chic to–“ I do not aspire to be Parisian or to fuck a Kennedy. I want to be a recurring side character in Pee-wee’s Playhouse
“kind of chic to–“ please do not use that kind of language about me
I don’t want to be “kind of chic”, I want to be vibrant and kind of loud and goofy and salty and pretty vulgar and completely myself, actually.
I would love some influencer with 1,500 followers to be like “today I’m rating At Heart Panadería…” I’m sure I would handle that normally
If lamination is my one W this year I guess I’ll take it
My orejas unraveled in the oven (too much sugar I think) but look: LAMINATION
Better lamination than last time but still not perfect. Going to attempt orejas
