The Nerdy Baker

Scone recipe is linked on my website (thenerdybaker.com) towards the bottom in the State Fair section. reduce brown sugar to 3 tablespoons, increase salt, measure the dill with your heart, I usually use about 1/2 cup chopped green onions, and about 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese.

A large chocolate chip cookie with chocolate and maroon frosting around the edge. Frosting then makes an image in the center of the cookies of 6 pink flowers with stems and leaves and grass, with three chocolate bunny tails and feet sticking out of the grass.

Made some cookie cakes for family Easter stuff. I particularly like the bunny butts.

Who doesn’t love a savory scone? These are my Dill Green Onion Parmesan scones that have become a hit at @wildvintagemarket each month. A pillowy, buttery scone packed with all the dill, salty Parmesan, and savory sweet green onion.

Fill in the blank: C or P? Hint: both are correct. I made a cake inspired by a post by @blcksmth.bsky.social, and prompted by some random Trumper DMing me with unsolicited business advice. To those that think I shouldn’t be political, even though my identity is a political issue for some - F*ck off

Picture of chocolate sandwich cookies with a marshmallow filling, covered in chocolate and candy cane pieces. They are piled in a dish shaped like a gingerbread man.

I realized I forgot to post some holiday bakes. These are @easygayoven ‘s chocolate mint marshmallow cookies. They were simply delicious! Tender chocolate biscuits, pillowy marshmallow, and some delicious chocolate coating.

A collage of theee photos of a a cake with a martini glass sticking out of it. The martini glass has gold lettering that says “a tini bit older”. The cake is covered in chocolate frosting with chocolate covering the top and dripping down one side.

Oops I spilled my drink! What a better way to celebrate a birthday than with a martini and a triple chocolate and peanut butter cake. Dark chocolate rye cake with peanut butter filling, chocolate buttercream, dark chocolate ganache, and a fudge frosting.

Opinion | Libraries can help end the culture wars. That’s why they’re under fire. Nothing threatens authoritarianism like a free, quiet place to absorb a full range of information.

We are about to enter an era of extreme and dangerous culture war in the United States. How do we protect our communities and work toward a cultural ceasefire? In this piece I wrote a couple months ago, I offer one possible path. wapo.st/40q1BDn
