Meet Cara

Hi! I’m Cara. I live in the sunny isles of the Philippines where I formed a major sweet tooth (thanks mom!). Naturally, this led me to my long time passion with baking. Food has this magical quality of bringing people together and anyone who has ever visited the Philippines can attest that food is a must for any celebration, big or small.

This blog is an extension of my home with recipes inspired by these celebrations and tiny moments of bliss, in the hopes I can share some of this joy with you. Also, it’s a way to keep track of everything because I know how forgetful I can be.

Food
Food for me is both an expression and a way of documenting memories. Whether that means to wander to a place once traveled or to relive a moment in time. I love exploring different flavors and strive to use the freshest high quality ingredients I can find (while not breaking the bank). Though a few splurges for indulgence reasons are completely worth it. The recipes are fairly simple and vegan options are available too.

Places you can find me
In a cozy book nook with a mug of tea
Secretly snacking on a bowl of cookie dough, messy bun included
Roaming bustling food markets and getting tempted to buy something in every stall

FAQs
I mainly use gram measurements for my recipes as they are more precise and set you up for baking success (Yes, it is worth buying that weighing scale). However, I also include cup measurements from time to time.
