Putting some good energy into this crazy world. #Nicholaslab #bday bake. Strawberry Mango Tres Leches. My trainees really keep challenging me #scientistswhobake

We've had a couple back to back #birthdays in the lab. Late to posting the newest creations. This is one of my favorites! I'll post the next one soon. #scientistswhobake

This #Nicholaslab #bday request had me nervous. Created a Carribbean sorrel cake based on my aunts drink recipe. Hibiscus spiced cake with candied ginger and ginger drizzle. Came out so good!!! #scientistswhobake

Winter Quarter has been insane. Submitted 5 grants in February and submitting 2 more in the next 3 weeks. That will get me to 9 pending grants. I have about a 10% hit rate so I'm hoping something comes through. I'm submitting grants like I make cupcakes. Lol #scientistswhobake
