Mondays Can Be Hard...

So here are some of my favorite photos that I took last weekend.

Hi! I'm Katherine and I live in Brooklyn. I love baking, trying new food, exploring, traveling, reading, and taking photos.

Finally did a @drakeoncake for @laurenlauzon’s bday yesterday!!! 🎉🍾✨🎂 #drakeoncake

Happy Sunday! ✨ There’s a new blog post up featuring these 🍒 cherry chocolate milkshakes - because when you’re facing the Sunday Scaries, you can never go wrong with ice cream. 🍒🍫 #feedfeed #milkshake

After six months, my pottery class is over and it’s going to be so weird not going over to the studio in Williamsburg on the J train every Wednesday after work. 😭 Taking the class was SO fun and challenging. It’s amazing to look at the stuff I made during the first class (a lot of lopsided bowls and pinch pots 😂) to what I made in the last class - mugs, bowls, and coffee pour overs and even a cake stand! ✨
Obviously I have a long way to go but it was so rewarding and the classes flexed a new part of my creative brain. Pictured here is one of the bowls I made (with blueberry thyme syrup in the works)! ✨✨ #pottery #blueberries

Beating the heat this week with matcha mint coolers! 🌱🥒 I have a love/hate relationship with matcha - sometimes it tastes amazing but other times I find it super grassy (maybe when I don’t make it well)! Anyways, I’ve been trying to make it more often because it can be really soothing, and I’ve been loving this iced version lately. ✨ The recipe is really easy so I put it below! I call them matcha mint coolers. ✨
- 2 cups matcha, room temp (I use @myencha)
- sliced cucumber
- fresh mint leaves - 1 tsp honey - seltzer to top
Add honey to matcha and stir. Fill two glasses with ice and pour matcha over it about 3/4 way up the glass. Add in cucumber slices, mint leaves & stir. Top with seltzer. #myencha #feedfeed #matcha

Cooling off today with some pops! 🌊 My mom made some sun tea chamomile and blueberry pops. Pictured here are the strawberry shortcake pops I made a couple weeks ago (in the blog recipes). #popsicle #summer

Heading to cape cod for 4th of July and these Blueberry Thyme Doughnuts are up on the blog to celebrate! 🍩🇺🇸 I made them using red, white & blue ingredients and they’re decorated with stars. ⭐️
I made them using my new baking mats and spatulas from @gir and LOVE how easy they are to use and super cute! 😍 #partner Use the code KATHERINEINBROOKLYN for 10% off + free shipping! #cookhappy

Hello, it’s a rare photo of me! 😀 Going to the farmers market has become part of my routine since I moved to New York. There are so many throughout the city and they’re the best places to find fresh, seasonal fruit + veggies and a variety of fun things you can’t often find at the grocery store. 🍒🍓🥦 I put together a guide of how I shop the farmers market and it’s live on the blog now! One of the things that’s a must is a reusable tote bag - @snapfishus has a super cute canvas tote that I designed with my own photos, and it’s my go to farmers market tote! #sponsored Use FOODIE40 for 40% off site-wide.

Ice cream always makes the middle of the week better! 🍦 I’ve been loving my ice cream maker this summer - I whipped up a batch of chocolate a couple weeks ago and added in chopped salted caramels and crushed up snickerdoodle cookies. 🍪 I need to make it again (better next time) so I can share the recipe. ✨ #icecream #feedfeed #chocolate

Photos of @mollyturro’s succulent birthday cake is on the blog now! 🌵 While the post doesn’t include the recipe (I used @mollyyeh’s funfetti recipe and swapped out a sprinkle layer with strawberry purée, along with cream cheese frosting) it does include the hilarious tale of making the cake and how HARD it is to make cacti out of buttercream. 😂 Truly one of the my biggest struggles in cake making. I also included my summer bucket list! ☀️ Swipe to see more photos and head over to my blog for the full story. 😃 #feedfeed #cakecakecake #succulentcake
