Cake concert in Cocoa Village

I'm so beyond hyped for this tn 🔥🎂

Pumpernickel!

First time making this type of bread, came out really well though! Dense and flavorful, with a licorice twist from the caraway seeds. The aftertaste from the cocoa powder brought it all together in a delicious way.

Double Chocolate Chip Cookies 🍪

Bed rest is driving me crazy, so I made some cookies to cheer myself up. Black cocoa powder is what makes them so dark 🖤

Pastry

Lemon verbena, hibiscus, blackberry, cocoa nibs 😋

Hot cocoa season

Fit pancake 🥕

1 egg, grated carrot, oats, cinnamon powder and cocoa nibs. That's all 😋 To sweeten, a light sugar-free strawberry jam 🍓

A healthy nuts cake 😋

I added cocoa nibs and it gave it a plus. I definitely love it and I will share it with the girls 💕

If you could associate a type of beverage to a season, what would yours look like?

For me, Spring = Fruit Smoothies! Summer = Soda! Autumn = Tea, any flavor. Winter = Hot Cocoa, my favorite.

Chocolate Truffle Pastry

A quiet square on porcelain plate, A heavy, dark, and sweet estate. The fork descends through glossy sheen, The softest, richest ever seen. A layer of sponge, a sea of cream, A waking, edible, sweet dream. The truffle melts upon the tongue, A song of cocoa, softly sung. No crumb remains, the plate… read more

Offer me their time. Volunteering: Cat socializing. But who’s socializing whom…really?

Cat Socializing GREAT NEWS…MELLY & COCOA WERE ADOPTED!! The 8yr old siblings were adopted yesterday after over 2 months here at the shelter. Never been so happy to not see cats.

The atmosphere in the morning while going to buy congee with minced pork and soft-boiled egg.

I took this photo yesterday morning, probably around 6 am. The morning atmosphere was quite cool and peaceful. It was sometimes hot, sometimes cool, because it's been raining more often lately. I felt like eating porridge, so I went outside.🤤 And I bought a pouch of cocoa drink to energize myself… read more

My dog stole my chair

Bought this recliner for myself but I reckon Cocoa decided it was hers today, she try’s to take up the whole seat when I try to sit down😂😂

Before I go on making my bosses gift's main part here are a few pictures of me making that dessert from the previous post for myself.

Literally everything the same, but the smaller one only has the cream, lady fingers and the cocoa. Also, my work friend appreciated me trying to improve her heavy mood via a decently made dessert. In translation she literally wrote "not that word" - meaning I achieved my goal of improving her mood!… read more

My weekly cat socialization volunteering. The 8yr old siblings are STILL here! With each week’s passing I say goodbye at shifts end, praying I won’t see them again. Please get adopted!! The struggles adult cats face at shelters. They get the majority of my attention during my 2hr volunteer shift.
