You want to know what’s scary?

Making a 4-tier cake for your friend’s wedding and hoping it doesn’t topple over 🙏🏼 lol.

My parents always remind me of the time my dad was best man at his friend’s wedding. As he made the speech, he swung his arms out in an almighty gesture only to knock their entire wedding cake to the ground 😅 there were a few moments of silence until the bride burst into laughter.

My friend’s cake will be a 12/10/8/6 inch 4-tier naked cake – each layer a different flavour with two gluten free options and some very subtle flowers. And I AM SO EXCITED for the challenge 💪🏼

What flavour cake would you choose?

I got a message the other day: “My dad was trying to give me rhubarb from his garden last week but I didn’t want to make a crumble, so I text him last night to tell him I’ll be making him this at the weekend 🎉”

My roasted rhubarb financier. The toasty, nutty browned butter creates the most gorgeously creamy flavour and the egg whites keep the batter light and fluffy {zero yolks!}. So if you’re looking for a way to convince someone that rhubarb deserves more than being chucked into a crumble – this is it!

Subscribers get first dibs on new recipes but this is now up on the blog for everyone to enjoy 💕 Tap my bio link for the recipe and remember to tag me @acupofteaandcake because I love seeing and sharing your creations!

“What do you do?” she asked. I hesitated and

“What do you do?” she asked.

I hesitated and fumbled for an answer. Did I tell her what I did for my regular 9-5? Or did I talk about what I love, about my journey into food styling and photography? About the amazing people I’ve worked with and met along the way? I shuffled my feet and deflected the question back to her instead.

My whole life I thought I had to fit a certain mould. I thought I had to follow a linear path that squashed my creativity and squeezed me into “a real job”. What does this even mean though?

So, you bake? You take pictures of your food? You style? You develop recipes? YES. And I love every minute of it. The ups and downs. The sideway moves, the grind, the mess.

I also have 8+ years of digital marketing experience but I’m happiest when I forget about what I’m “supposed” to be, what people or society tell me to be, and when I accept who I am.

Whatever your passion, we need more women in this world who are smashing those conforms. We need more women at peace with who they are, confident about what they bring to the world and who embrace their perfectly imperfect lives fully.

Love who you are, and what you do. None of it is silly. I’m working with the incredible @the_woman_and_the_wolf tomorrow because what I do is important, and I love that she empowers women in business to keep showing up as their authentic self.

So if you’re chipping away at your passion, remember you are here to change people’s lives in ways you might not have imagined ✨

I was scared to post this.

Because it’s completely different from my usual style. It’s bright and bold, and I prefer my photography to be subtle and modest. But I was totally inspired by @eliseshootsfood and @natalie.naturally who both shot absolutely gorgeous close-ups of vibrant pink rhubarb this month – so I got up close and personal too.

The texture and glisten of the sugary syrup looked far too beautiful in this light caressing the stalks, and the globules of water clinging to the skin looked like tiny worlds of their own.

If you’re subscribed to my newsletter, expect more pink. If you’re not, you can sign up by clicking the link in my bio. Happy Wednesday!
