Finally gave millionaire's shortbread a try to see if I could pull it off. It's messy but tastes quite good. This holiday season, I'll be making a gingerbread version. 🍽️

that's wild. half the fun of fandom imo is exaggerating the weird traits of the characters (and I don't even read/write fic). hell, as far as I am generally concerned, Hannibal is an incurable diva and Luddite who struggles to send a text and Bedelia literally has one of these up year-round.

Last weekend I baked this chocolate orange cake with orange curd, Nutella mousse, and chocolate French buttercream. Today I picked 10 lbs of blueberries and plan to attempt to make a blueberry Israeli couscous pudding.

found out last holiday season that Starbucks cranberry bliss bars are way easy to make yourself and now I'm stuck with a surplus of them that I simply cannot stop eating.

I am FINALLY done with holiday baking! Not pictured: two trays of knockoff Starbucks cranberry bliss bars, one of which has a bit of Grand Marnier added to the frosting.

Baked two trays of knockoff sbux cranberry bliss bars and six rainbow cookie layers in the last 24 hours and now all I have to do is defrost and assemble in a couple weeks. I am fucking exhausted.

Yep! Made these last year and am making an apple crumb cake with pumpkin caramel sauce and cinnamon mousse tomorrow. I'll always go for cake over pie.

Favorite #Hannibal character other than Hannibal or Will and 3 reasons why:
1. She's just an absolute queen
2. She understands that she's basically just in a murder-y rom-com
3. She's hilarious, wonderfully over the top, and the just-right amount of petty

Had some Challah bread, heavy cream, eggs and a can of pumpkin that needed to be used, so I now have pumpkin bread pudding, pumpkin spice salted caramel sauce and might make pumpkin mousse with the leftover ingredients. 🍽️
