Feel. Bake. Better.
*NEW* Mood Playlist
Rainy Afternoon
Rainy afternoons - they’re made for baking. Leave the cold, wet, uncomfortable weather outside and stay in, under a warm blanket, with a hot cup of tea. Thoughts of freshly baked cookies, honeyed fruit salad, warm buttered bread, and spiced affogato come to mind. It seems like the perfect opportunity to bake, relax, bake some more, and take some time to enjoy the rainy day.
This Mood Playlist is about just that – it’s about the warmth of baking...
It’s Maple Oatmeal Cookies and that warm and toasty feeling.
It’s Pound Cake Fruit Salad and a peaceful way to enjoy the mood.
It’s Sour Crusty Bread and an enjoyable task on a bleak day.
It’s Spiced Ginger Pumpkin Affogato and that warm and cozy feeling that fills you up from the inside out...
Bored. Just Bored. *cont’d*
Bored, once again. It’s dull. It’s annoying. It’s so predictably frustrating. And it’s 100% normal. Time slows down and there’s nothing left to do but to wait it out. Wait it out and bake.
Bake through a mood playlist that’s designed for the boredom - the kind that’s unavoidable and colors the entire day. It’s a mood that deserves its own playlist, maybe two...(below is the the second round, as promised...)
It’s Golden Rice Krispies and that feeling of uncertainty.

It’s Double Chocolate Cake when times are unsure.
It’s Coffee Swirl Cake and being of two minds.
Fun and Carefree
Enjoying a playful mood when it’s fun, carefree, and imaginative feels delightfully effortless. It’s uncomplicated, easy to get lost in, and childlike in its simplicity. Remaining in this mood and enjoying a few deliciously sentimental treats along the way is a vibe.
How about a mood playlist that follows the childlike playfulness? Think of it as a sweet walk down memory lane and it’s dotted with chocolate chips...
It’s Chocolate Chip Cookies and the excitement of sneaking a fresh out of the oven while it’s still warm.
It’s Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Lime Cookies that are as cheerful, offbeat, and as refreshing as the mood.
It’s Chocolate Chip Muffins and happiness worth spreading.
It’s Double Chocolate Cookies and feeling deliriously happy.
