Nearly 13 years later, I now house 650+ recipes on my website including cakes, cupcakes, cookies, breads, and pies. AND my full time job is teaching people how to bake confidently without ever stepping foot into a kitchen with them.
But guess what? I didn’t bake my first cake from scratch until I was 25 😱
🍪 I didn’t “grow up baking with my mom in the kitchen”
🎂 I didn’t go to school for baking or pastry arts
🧁 I took a boxed cake to my first cake decorating class at my local craft store…
…and I couldn’t even get it out of the pan 😵💫
Sure. I helped my mom bake cookies from time to time and my dad make his famous spaghetti sauce every winter, but these moments did not define my childhood nor instill in me a love of baking/cooking.
I went to school for biology, and my love for microscopes, bugs, and nature in general is what I remember from my childhood 👩🔬
When I was 25, I needed an evening hobby because my (then) boyfriend (now husband) was still in school.
Cake decorating class ➡️ I found cake baking “science-y” ➡️ eventually it became therapeutic ➡️ I turned it into a side hustle ➡️ business wasn’t fun anymore so I stopped ➡️ my website was born in April 2014
Why does this matter? 🤔
Because even if you DID grow up baking with a relative, or you baked a scratch cake for the first time before you were in middle school, you are likely seeing my account because you’re also a HOME BAKER.
🧁 you bake cupcakes for your kids’ birthdays
🍪 you like making cookies from scratch for get togethers
🥧 you have a go-to apple pie recipe that everyone asks you to make for Thanksgiving
🎂 you look forward to “just because” weekend baking
But this is not your full time job and probably not even your side hustle.
You don’t need anything to be fancy.
You like unfussy ingredients.
You want easy-to-follow recipes.
My friend… I am your girl 💁♀️
Follow me @freshaprilflours for easy-to-follow, tested and trusted, simple recipes you/your fam/your friends will love and rely on for years to come 🫶🏼 #baker #baking #scratchbaking

Never expected this cookie to become as popular as it is, but here we are!
These chocolate chip cookies were modeled after my high school cafeteria’s cookies— crisp edges, soft and gooey centers, and an unexpected chocolate chip situation that has become my signature combo 🍪
I get comments like this one from reader Leslie ALL THE TIME. Multiple times a month, in fact!
➡️ “These are the absolute best, easy to make and by far the best cookies I’ve made, this recipe is on repeat at our house!”
And you deserve that, too.

I spent more than a decade perfecting my chocolate chip cookie recipe, and if you haven’t tried it yet, you are missing out on your new favorite! 🍪
This chocolate chip cookie recipe builds on the Toll House recipe (duh, it’s a great one) to produce cookies that are crispy on the edges, soft in the center, and deliver a flavor you just don’t get with the original thanks to my careful selection of chocolate chips.
Yes, it is that serious 🧐
In fact, this is one of my favorite reviews of all time, from reader Alexis:
“No joke… these are the BEST. I have faithfully stuck to a different variation of the tollhouse recipe up until now, but I will only be using this recipe going forward. Followed all of the steps to a tee and these are genuinely the best chocolate chip cookies I’ve had in my life!!” ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I know, I’m the one who wrote the recipe. But you don’t just have to take MY word for it…
Barbra says: “I admit to being super intimidated to make these, but they really are a great recipe for beginners. The step-by-step instructions were perfect, and my rolls turned out great. Thanks so much for the recipe.” ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
And Erin said: “We made these for Thanksgiving, and they were a MASSIVE hit. (Both of my kids ate three a piece along with their meals.) We’ll definitely be serving this recipe at future holiday gatherings. Thank you!” ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Oh oh oh and Robyn said: “I have not had good luck with yeast recipes in the past but this was exactly as the title describes… EASY! I made these following the make ahead directions for Thanksgiving dinner and they came out amazing. Everyone was commenting how good they were. I even added a sprinkling of finishing salt on top before baking. Everyone should give these a try!” ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

These cookies have been converting Toll House die-hards for a reason…
Kris says: “I have been baking for years and kept putting off trying this recipe because I thought how different could they be…. I was so wrong. These are the best chocolate chip cookies ever according to my family and friends… 1000% best cookie ever. Thanks Lynn… For sharing such amazing recipes with the world. You make me a good baker!” ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
And Christina simply said: “Oh my word…these are simply amazing!! These were a huge hit with everyone in my house. I may need to hide a few so my teenagers don’t eat them all!” ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I GENUINELY thought this would be easy 😐
The cake has hundreds of 5-star reviews! How hard could the cupcake version be?
Hard, apparently 🥴
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 🍓

My favorite part about crepe batter is that it can sit in the fridge overnight, so it’s just a quick pan fry before you stack them and serve them and guests can DIY with fillings and toppings 🍓🍌🫐

It wouldn’t be Pi(e) Day without me pissing off the folks who don’t read captions 📖
If you made it to this line of text, you’ve already almost passed the test 😝
Throwing it back to this video that originally made the internet lose its collective mind at Thanksgiving 2023 when they thought I threw away the pie and/or never ate it…
Let’s see if I can clear the air…
• yes, I did eat the pie 🥧
• it makes it easier to edit the video 📹
• I know, I didn’t clean off the fork between bites so OBVIOUSLY it’s fake 🫠
• yes, this is common practice in the food content world 🌎
• if I’ve “ruined” anything for you, no, I didn’t 🤣
ANYWAY. If you want to become a PIE PRO, I’ve got you covered 🙌

Turns out, Irish potato candy isn’t actually Irish nor has anything to do with potatoes, but this is another thing we can thank Philly for alongside cheesesteaks, soft pretzels, hoagies, and Tastykakes (to name a few).
These Irish potato candies are made from cream cheese, sweetened shredded coconut, and powdered sugar, and they’re rolled in ground cinnamon so they really do look just like potatoes 🥔
Give these easy no bake candies a try for yourself and watch them disappear with a snap 🫰 (seriously— they’re SO GOOD).

Life is better with a homemade Shamrock Shake ☘️
I’ve been making my own since I quit my job in 2019 and I no longer passed a McDonald’s on the commute home. It’s just a vanilla milkshake with a minty twist, so you can totally do this.
Here’s what you need:
☘️ 1 cup quality vanilla ice cream
☘️ ⅓ cup whole milk
☘️ 3 to 4 drops green food coloring
☘️ ⅕ teaspoon peppermint extract
➡️ Blend in a blender to desired consistency, then top with homemade whipped cream and a cherry 🍒
AND GUESS WHAT? I’ve had a Shamrock SMOOTHIE on my site for more than a decade, which is really just a version of the shake that fits a little more easily into an everyday routine.
Here’s what you need for that one:
☘️ 1 very ripe frozen banana
☘️ 6 ounces Greek yogurt
☘️ ½ cup milk
☘️ 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
☘️ ⅛ teaspoon peppermint extract
☘️ 1 handful of spinach (optional)
If you want the recipe so you can bookmark either, comment the word “recipe” below and I’ll send the links to BOTH of these versions right to your DMs! 💌 #freshaprilflours • https://freshaprilflours.com/shamrock-shake/
