What I sent my family this moring:


I think this is the proper declination... but sic vicit gloria matris… thus passes the glory of the mother, who used to be the sticky bun baker. Perry's are better than mine.


He made the dough, I decided when it was proofed enough, made the rolls, put them the fridge to finish proofing overnight, and then baked 'em this morning, but his dough is seriously and objectively great, pillowy and delicious.

We have, of course, saved some for him, but he's rowing and coaching this morning and won't get them until this afternoon.



We made a mocha cake for her birthday: cake, ganache filling, buttercream. As usual, I made the components, dh turned them into something that looks like it's worth eating.
