Late night Revali~ 💙✨

Opted to get out of town for a long weekend. May not be the furcon, but I'd say we're still doing alright :)

That comes in two to three weeks

Also, this is why you may not see many treat photos from me for just a little bit :)

"Before"

Given that I have some really big personal projects going on I was only able to spend one night at FE and almost passed on it entirely. But I'm really happy that I went. Was really great to reconnect with some folks I hadn't seen in a while. So many good vibes!!

Did a little test treat crafting this weekend and used all the parts to make this triple chocolate swiss roll

!!!!ATTENTION!!!!

Never stop to call all the greymuzzles out there you meet cute, adorable or sexy!

They will deny it with every fiber of their wrinkles. But in truth they do love it and make them happy.

Thank you so much @bingotdoggo.bsky.social for this amazing gift art. It's good to know that watching my horrid struggle with Tunic amused you to the point of inspiration :3

A little late, but finally got around to making my birthday cake.

Component recipes will be added to my book over the course of the next week.

The Pastry Shep: A Dessert Dog's Cookbook I may never be a pastry chef, but I will always be a pastry shep Introduction 6 Work In Progress 8 Format 8 A Word On Measurements 9 A Word On Equipment 9 Credits 10 Thank You 10 Fillings, Frostings,...

Here's a link to the book. Still lots of recipes that need to be added. It's slow going because I need to verify everything and get pictures before a recipe can be added. So it's a bit sparse at the moment but I add recipes pretty regularly.

As some of you know, I've been putting together an online, open source, forever work-in-progress cookbook. For my birthday @azzyblue.bsky.social commissioned this absolutely amazing cover for my book. I'm incredibly touched. It's so good! Thank you Azzy and Mar!

This local Wolfdog joined an Olympic ski event and triggered the finish-line camera. This is Nazgul. He snuck into a cross-country skiing sprint this morning and raced the homestretch with some competitors before being escorted home. 14/10 someone get him a medal

I feel like I should post more, but really my life is pretty predictable. Play hockey, work, love my friends, make treats, and work out to avoid getting overly fat from the treats I make.

Simple, but it's pretty great. I could be doing a lot worse.

Linzertorte!

Love it.

Thank you @tytimberwolf.bsky.social!!

Any plans to open commissions for new ones? I'd love to get one for the Pucking Mutts

Random little test bake over the weekend. Working on nailing down my yellow cake recipe and flavoring buttercream with home made caramel sauce.

Looks plain, tasted amazing :9

Buttermilk biscuits

A biscuit breakfast sandwich with scrambled eggs, cheddar cheese, fresh ground black pepper, a little bit of kewpie mayo, and sriracha.

It may not be a fancy cake or pastry, but the buttermilk biscuit makes for a part of my absolute favorite breakfast, the biscuit breakfast sandwich. I figured why not have one more less-than-healthy meal before getting started on burning off those holiday pounds.

Made some cream puffs for friendsmas dinner!

Merry Christmas!

Hit the gym for a big push after three nights of insomnia. I'm not sure if that's dedication or stupidity.

I would like to collapse and sleep, body willing.

I love @fek.bsky.social's art so much and this design is so amazing... For a cat.

I use the fruit too. There is some disagreement as to whether you should discard the juice after thawing or use it in the batter. Keeping the juice can make the loaf dense, claggy, and impact the rise. Discarding it can sacrifice flavor. Using this method I have a nice texture and all that flavor

I freeze my bananas before making banana bread. As they thaw they release a lot of their liquid, quite a bit if you let them thaw all the way to room temp. I take that stuff and reduce it to a syrup and use that instead of the original liquid.

Made really tasty banana bread by reducing released banana juice into a syrup first. Allowed for a really soft texture that wasn't too dense while also preserving all of that tasty banana flavor :9

I really love this dish. It's one of those that falls in the category of "Not super pretty, but tastes absolutely amazing".
