Lemon cake with passion fruit curd and raspberry mascarpone buttercream ✨

This past Tuesday was my 32nd birthday, and in keeping with tradition, I made myself a birthday cake to celebrate. Given all the sadness and heaviness in the world right now, it only felt right to use the happiest and brightest flavors I could think of. The sponge is lemon, almost like a pound cake in texture, the filling is a bright passion fruit curd, and the frosting is a mascarpone buttercream flavored and colored with freeze dried raspberries. I’m hoping to have the recipe up for you soon!

I’ve added some photos of past birthday cakes going back to 2021 (starting from the 3rd slide). It’s fun to see the improvement in both my baking, and photography 🥰

Happy Saturday my dearest friends 🩷

This time between Christmas and new years always feels bit odd to me and I never quite know what to do with myself 😅 So I’m leaning in to the cozy comfort of winter, and working on several crochet projects I’m making as gifts for loved ones, as well as some baking and cooking for my little family 🥰 Do you have any special new years plans?

Happy monday, dear friends! I have new recipes heading your way soon!!

A very merry Christmas, from my little family, to yours 🩷 The recipe for this gingerbread cake with brown butter mascarpone buttercream will be up on the blog this weekend! It’s a very stormy and rainy day here, and I’m cozied up under a blanket, baking bread and finishing up the last of my handmade gifts. A very merry Christmas indeed 🥰
