I’ve literally made THOUSANDS of cake pops in my baking career, and more than a decade ago, I created a tutorial on my website that has helped thousands of bakers achieve adorable (but most importantly DELICIOUS) cake pops in their own kitchens 💕
In fact, reader Jill said this: “There are so many cake pop recipes out there and I think this is the most “scientific” and accurate one I’ve seen yet.”
If that doesn’t convince you to make them, I don’t know what will 🥰🥰
My mantra when it comes to cake pops is “it’s just cake.” Because it is! 🍰
Whether you dry them upright and they turn out flawless or you decide to go the MUCH EASIER route and flip them over so they eat like a finger food, they all taste the same.
Basically, you can do the most by doing the least 😅
So, this month, it’s YOUR turn to take on the challenge 💪
I’ve updated this post to reflect my years of troubleshooting, experimenting, and remember, GETTING PAID TO DO THIS WORK, so that you can make your own cake pops and stop spending $4 on one from Starbucks 😵💫😵💫😵💫
Welcome to June’s Bake Along recipe 🎉 #fafbakealong

2️⃣ snap a pic

My current hyper-fixation has entered the chat…
Ok, listen. I was REAL skeptical that homemade marshmallow juice was worth the squeeze until I made a batch for the first time.
And I’m here to say that IT IS 😳
Homemade marshmallows are softer, full of PURE flavor, they melt smoother, and believe it or not, they roast better 🔥
Up for the challenge? I promise they’re not hard, they’re just not from a bag! 😉

In the summer of 2021, I remember waving goodbye to my kids who were off to a local splash pad with our nanny while I painstakingly rearranged crumbs for the perfect shot of a cake in the middle of July ☀️
It was the summer of 2019 that I decided I needed to quit my full time job in an immunology lab because it was getting in the way of my “side job,” which I was spending my weekends working on. My kids were 1 and 3 then, and by the middle of October that year, I was cleaning off my lab bench and trading in my lab coat 🥼 for an apron 🧑🍳
I was so excited to be able to create my own schedule, spend more time with my kids, and dive straight into the opportunity to grow my “side job” into a real business.
It was that moment in July 2021 that I thought to myself “why am I working for myself and not scheduling time off? Why am I working 12 months of the year? Why are we paying someone else to play with our kids when we could be playing with them ourselves?” (No shade to our nanny, who we still use often. She is the best! 🤩)
I decided right then and there that I would rather put in more intense work during the other 9 months of the year to have the opportunity to do things I wanted to do in the 3 summer months when my kids were home.
So I tried it.
And it was amazing.
And I will never NOT take summers off for the rest of my life 😂
I recognize I am INCREDIBLY privileged to be able to do this. And there is no way I could do this if it wasn’t for the support of my readers, my subscribers, my loyal fans, my team, and my family.
Don’t get me wrong. My kids will spend plenty of time at day camp, in swim lessons, and at their grandparents’ house, because that first summer I had nothing planned and that was A MISTAKE. We all hated each other by the middle of July 🤪🤪
But, because of YOU, I get to:
☀️ treat myself to a solo vacation
☀️ attend a workshop with @thebiteshot
☀️ leisurely read books
☀️ take an impromptu beach day trip
☀️ bake FOR FUN
☀️ come back in September itching to create again
Don’t worry. I’ll still be around! You know I love Insta too much to step away 😏 But I appreciate and thank every one of you for being here 🫶 See ya soon! 😘

If you’re not really understanding the dot cake hype, you’re in the right place 🧐
The reality of being a content creator is that shiny object syndrome can put a serious cramp in your creative vision. I’m someone who plans wayyyy ahead— I already have a handful of 2027 content in the works 🫣 I AM WHO I AM, OK???
I’m all for fun food trends (and especially putting a spin on them), but what I really want for you here are reliable recipes that stand the test of time— the ones that make their way into your family traditions, holiday tables, and birthday celebrations 💕
When you tell me my pumpkin pie is the only one your family wants at Thanksgiving, that your daughter requests my strawberry cake every year for her birthday, or that my chocolate chip cookies have converted your Toll House husband into a believer… That’s everything to me 🤩
SO! There’s nothing wrong with the dot cake, but it’s recipes like this confetti cake that you’ll actually be making for years to come. It’s got box mix energy in the method, but tastes so much better than anything from a box ever could 🤤

This pie has been on my list of recipes to bring you for YEARS! 😅 It just never made it to the list until now, and I`m only wishing I`d gotten to it sooner.
This classic Key lime pie has a silky custard filling, sits in a buttery homemade graham cracker crust, and comes together in just a few simple steps. And I heard it you top it with fresh whipped cream, it tastes like a trip to Key West 😜
Ok, not really, but we can dream, right? 😆
If you`re feeling really ambitious, you can make this pie à la the version my husband and I had in Key West in 2011-- with a meringue top! 😱
Whichever way you do it, don`t miss this iconic classic 🍋🟩

You’re in the right place if the term “nice cream” makes your eyes roll back so far, you think they might fall out of your head 🙄
The reality of being in the recipe creating space means I see all kinds of food trying to be other food, and it’s kind of wild 🤪
If you’re looking for a way to use up your bananas (ripe or even UNRIPE, I might add!) and want to cool off this summer, you’re in the right place! 🍌
This roasted banana ice cream has gotten a LOT of attention in the last few weeks, and here’s what folks are saying:
Rachel said: “This banana ice cream is absolutely delicious. Caramelising the bananas is what elevates this dessert from a basic ice cream to an amazing one. The whole family loved this one and it is going to be on repeat for sure!” ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Bailey said: “What a fantastic recipe! Thank you for sharing with the world! I always thought that the only good use for over ripe bananas was banana bread….but this recipe has taught me that there’s so much more that I could be doing! The ice cream is delicious! And the education was priceless.” ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Whenever I serve these simple garlic knots, people think I broke out the yeast and proofed my dough. But… I didn’t! 🙌🏼
This easy recipe starts with a tube of premade pizza dough BUT the instructions also suggest you can use homemade pizza dough if you want— and my recipe includes a link to mine, if you’re feeling adventurous 😉

My strawberry cake has HUNDREDS of 5-star reviews! How hard could the cupcake version be?
Hard, apparently 🥴
When I went from the cake recipe to cupcake wells, they came out dense and I was so disappointed. After some troubleshooting (was it too many strawberries? too much moisture?) I finally zeroed in on the crumb and decided it needed lift.
Splitting the eggs and whipping the whites COMPLETELY changed them, and they turned out fluffy, light, everything I wanted 🤩
Worth the extra step, I promise 🍓

And here’s why you need them: fiber, protein, and complex carbs carbs, all wrapped up in a bite that tastes like dessert 🍨
Listen, you know I’m not about the word “healthy” when it comes to dessert, and that’s definitely not what this is. It’s truly just a recipe my family loves to have on hand for snacking and it just so happens to have some gems in it. That’s all.
And on the beach? They taste even better 🤭

When I tell you that this bread is the nearest and dearest bread recipe to me on my whole website, I truly mean it 🥹
This month’s installment of my monthly #fafbreadofthemonth series is actually the very first recipe I ever published on Fresh April Flours on April 13, 2014, and it’s also the very first yeast bread I ever learned how to make back in 2010. It came from my Italian-born paternal grandmother, was passed to my mom, and then it was taught to me 🍞
The photos, the recipe, and the post itself have come a long long longggg way since 2014, and this is actually the third iteration of this post. This is, by far, its best iteration, the most detailed instructions, and now there’s a video to help you make it perfectly ✨
AND I KNOW WHAT YOU’RE THINKING.
Anise? Like licorice? 🤮
Ok, forget that right now! Because I loathe licorice, but I adore this bread. It’s a much lighter taste, bringing along with it warm notes of spice, and if you’re willing to give it a shot, I think it might steal your heart with one bite 🫶
