Last weekβs snaps from SLFM night market.
This marks beginning of year 3 of doing dessert things π§
Beyond just making sweets (well, except setting up those tents π), Iβve genuinely loved the creative journey and engaging with community. So many growth moments, so much learning, and putting myself out there.
Now itβs time for a little breather to enjoy some time in Europe. Back in July for the @chicagoartisanmarket at Fulton Market! πͺπΊβ‘οΈπΊπΈ

π Welcome to my Weekend Baking Chronicles π
I love experimenting with new recipes whenever I have time. I feel a little cringe filming and seeing myself π but itβs so cool to step out of your comfort zone, and Iβm excited to share it all with you here.
This Tarta de Santiago is absolutely beautiful, and I made it a couple of weeks ago to welcome my parents. Itβs an authentic Spanish dessert, and I love that itβs gluten free.
Hereβs a quick recipe for you, and Iβll be posting the full version on my website soon!
Tarta de Santiago (Spanish Almond Cake)
Ingredients:
250 g (2Β½ cups) finely ground almonds
250 g (1ΒΌ cups) granulated sugar
5 large eggs
Zest of 1 lemon
Β½ tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Butter (for greasing the pan)
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 175Β°C (350Β°F) and grease a 9-inch (23 cm) springform pan.
In a bowl, whisk eggs and sugar until pale and thickened.
2. Add lemon zest and cinnamon (if using), and mix.
3. Fold in ground almonds until fully combined.
4. Pour batter into the pan and bake for 30β35 minutes, or until golden.
5. Let cool, then dust with powdered sugar.
6. Optionally, use a St. James cross stencil for decoration!
Enjoy this perfect slice of Spain! π°πͺπΈ
