I made these cakes for a friend's going away party because I wanted to make something inspired by her! And since she's bright like lemon, soft like a rose, and sweet like honey--these were the cakes for her! To get that beautiful shape, I used a pan from Nordic Ware called the Honeycomb Pull-Apart Pan! And actually, the recipe I used was a slight variation of the recipe that came with the pan. Ingredients: Cake: - 2 2/3 cup flour - 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder - 1 tsp. baking sod

For those of you keeping up with the tumultuous saga that is my life, you'll know that I moved again recently, but things are good! My new roommate is truly an angel and we've been having loads of fun together. One funny thing that happened so far was that we found a mystery tea while cleaning out the cupboards? Perhaps from roommates past? Either way I used Google Translate to find out what it was and it turned out to be a Norwegian tea! The contents being: "white pine, hybr

To test out the kitchen in my new apartment, I made the cardinal mistake of baking. The best way to check out a new oven is by baking something with which you're most familiar. Instead of doing that, I tried a recipe I've never made before AND made about 5 changes to it. And yet, somehow, everything turned out delicious? So here's to my new favorite, easy-peasy recipe for a delicious tea-time snack! Behold, my own personal recipe for my Rose Cardamom Cakes! Rose as I've menti

In an effort to spice things up a little, I want to branch off from the sweet and do a wider variety of kitchen witch recipes--like when I did my favorite pasta recipe. For this post, I want to talk about cocktails! Like for example, did you know hops are prophetic herbs? Alcohol can open our senses to different vibrations in the atmosphere. It allows us to loosen up and hear and see more than we normally can--and this can be used to our advantage if we mix just the right pot

For those of you who have been following me for a little while, you might recognize the recipe for these cookies (minus a few new changes). What makes these special and different is rather the process for the final product. The base recipe is my recipe for Rosemary Ginger Sugar Cookies, but as an added bonus, I made these with pressed, dried florals! So altogether, there's a lot of earthy, floral flavors--making these cookies absolutely scrumptious! The florals I chose to add

Nowadays with the trendiness of bathbombs, baths have become a sort of self-care fad. But there's a lot to be said for act of a purifying, calming dip in the tub. I think it's an important part of taking care of your body, and if you're conscious of what you put into your bath, you'll also strengthen your magic. So let's talk herbal washes and spiritual water. You can find them at many witch shops online and in person. And the best part about them is that they've done all the

This week's Tea Leaves Thursday is featuring a tea from my friends at Wilderleaf Tea! This tea a Sun-Dried Wild Rose Bud tea that the site describes as: "Another delicious option for those of us without a tolerance for caffeine, this soft tisane originates from high up in the mountains of Wenshan in Yunnan, China. The full rose buds are picked and sun dried on bamboo mats to preserve their fresh floral aromas. When brewed, the liquor shows up a pale pink that presents a pleas

What is a charm? Well Witchipedia describes a charm as "any item worn by an individual for magickal effect, especially one that bears magic words, an incantation or a magical symbol. This could include an amulet or talisman or any piece of magical jewelry." Charms can be as simple or elaborate as you want. And they don't have to be obvious or incorporate herbs.
