Round sugar cookies on parchment paper. Some are decorated with white dimpled royal icing to resemble golf balls. Others are decorated with royal icing to resemble golf greens that feature flags next to a cut-out hole, puffy white clouds in a blue sky & a tiny white golf ball next to the hole.

I'm holding a round-ish lol sugar cookie in my hand that is decorated with white dimpled royal icing to resemble a golf ball. Silicone spatulas & other partially-decorated cookies are in the background.

Lemme break up y'all's feed of shitty baseball & even shittier human rights violations with some cookies that I decorated for #Spawn's bornday. They're not perfect, but ima share my baking journey with y'all anyway. 🤷🏽‍♂️⛳️ 🏌🏽

On this episode of Tara's #MentalBakeDown - MY FIRST SOURDOUGH LOAF! I birthed Dolly Startin' on Jan. 30, and she *finally* matured enough that I could bake an actual loaf with her last night. I did it! She's so beautiful I can't look directly at her. 🥹😭

Full-size 9" version of a chocolate Hostess Cupcake. 9" chocolate cake cut in half vertically, filled with marshmallow fluff mixture, topped with chocolate ganache & loopy icing.

Stock pic of original chocolate Hostess cupcake.

On this episode of Tara's #MentalBakeDown - Full-Size 9" Big Momma Hostess Cupcake. Mistakes were made, okay? Which I'll discuss in this thread. But I think it visually passes for an OG cupcake. Maybe? idk gimme your thoughts.

Homemade batch of double chocolate sourdough discard muffins cooling in the tin.

On this episode of Tara's #MentalBakeDown - Double Chocolate Sourdough Discard Muffins. I don't have much of a sweet tooth, and chocolate's not really my jam, but these are perfectly sweet & not super dense. 9/10

Fresh homemade biscuits in a bread basket. Dupe recipe of red lobster cheddar bay biscuits using sourdough discard.

On this episode of Tara's #MentalBakeDown -- Sourdough Discard Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuits. They're more brown than the OG version bc my sourdough starter is a 50/50 mix of bread flour/whole wheat. These are fire ngl. 💋🤌🏽
