The interior of the above loaf of wheat bread resting on two slices of the same. The crust is crisp and the crumb is uniform, springy, and cut with an awful knife that has left it shaggy in places
Confession: I do not own a bread knife despite baking a loaf near-weekly for almost 2 years now. So, please forgive the massively imprecise cuts.

Spotted in the wild, Venetian Cream #kingcake from Coffee Science. Didn't partake but wanted to. Evidently the cream is made with oat milk and coconut.

Cinnamon #kingcake, provenance unknown. Tastes like high quality grocery store king cake; it's very soft, distinct notes of cinnamon without being too overpowering.

New-to-me Chez Pierre Vietnamese bakery cream cheese #kingcake. Very very soft bready bread that was somehow dense and airy. The cream cheese has been whipped or blended and was likewise light and smooth.

Marguerite's #kingcake. Light almond notes, a little dry and it works well together. Nice layer of icing with a satisfying crunch.
Yes, I got the baby in a king cake I bought.

Party Palace traditional #kingcake. Perfectly cromulent. I really like this combination of icing and sugar. Cinnamon not overwhelming, bread nice and chewy. My particular slice was cold from the fridge, probably should have let it set out more.

The NOCCA Dubai Chocolate #kingcake. It looks gorgeous, with an okay Dubai chocolate sauce flavor, but I seriously need a higher gloop factor here. I would pay more for a larger, more decadent, cake!

The Nolita #kingcake is a very smooth, classic offering with a mix of icing and sugar. A step above the average traditional and there's some definite flavors to the bread.

Terrytown Cafe #kingcake. I like this kind of sugar (ignoring the extraneous sprinkles) but the bread wasn't flavorful.

Traditional plain #kingcake from Adrian's bakery. Old school; they make large and extra large and plenty of filling options. Very light cinnamon and very bready with good texture. I would prefer less dry, but YMMV.

Plain Adrian's #kingcake. Perfectly adequate, very traditional and bready. In the neighborhood of a McKenzie's with a sweeter and softer texture with a hint of yeasty bread flavor.

First #kingcake of the season: Nonna Randazzo's traditional. Soft, lightly cinnamon, thick icing. My wife's favorite.

Three slices of sourdough stand upright in a toaster, their shapes forming the side profile of a rabbit, complete with ears and nose. The crumb is open and even, with a light, airy texture. This came from a single-score loaf using a regenerative flour recipe.
Sliced into yesterday’s sourdough loaf and got a textbook bread bunny. One angled score was all it took- ears, nose, the lot, standing proud in the toaster. The crumb was nicely open and even, with a soft texture that held up well. #bunnysky
with apologies to @jack-os.bsky.social, i could not resist

Sliced loaf of sourdough bread on a wooden cutting board
Made my 2nd loaf of sourdough and it came out so nice! #crumbshot #sourdough #bread #baking
Deana, wearing a white apron, holds a halved sourdough loaf with cut surfaces stacked on each other, revealing its open, airy crumb. The bread has a rustic, golden-brown crust with distinct scoring. The warm, natural wood background and soft lighting evoke an artisanal farmhouse kitchen.
Say hello to my weekend seeded sourdough loaf! I've experimented with organic Wildfarmed rustic white, Emmer, Einkorn, and Spelt. At 80% hydration, it's packed with love and goodness ❤️—an open crumb and rich, earthy flavour, just like a proper country loaf from natural flours. #BreadSky
Not my best effort with bread today, tried to make one big loaf, cut it too early. Also attempted some creme egg cronuts and another batch of creme egg cookies #homebaking #bakeon #sourdough #crumbshot #cookies #cronut #cremeegg
I wouldn't mind seeing her #crumbshot if you know what I mean
