Jeni Iannetta Hardie - Bad Girl Bakery
@jeniiannettahardie
Cake baking, food loving and book reading, mostly. Baker, recipe developer, aspiring food writer and owner of Bad Girl Bakery, so expect lots of cake pics.
Our niece is getting married in the morning. Operation Wedding Cake is under way. @bad-girls-bad-boy.bsky.social (the top box isn’t upside down, by the way)
Day Two hosting the Cake & Bake Tent at the Foodies Festival in Glasgow. I can’t believe I get to chat about cake all day and call it work. Spent the day with some incredible chefs and bakers and I get to do it all again tomorrow. @bad-girls-bad-boy.bsky.social
Back at the Foodies Festival hosting the Cake & Bake tent and my lovely friend Sarah Rankin hosting the Chefs Tent next door.
Day 2 of hosting the Cake & Bake Theatre at the Foodies Festival in Edinburgh (with @bad-girls-bad-boy.bsky.social behind the scenes doing all the hard work)
I’m hosting the Cake & Bake Theatre at the Foodies Festival in Edinburgh this weekend with my glamorous assistant @bad-girls-bad-boy.bsky.social
Sausage rolls and pitta just out of the oven.
Heading home after a day in Edinburgh supporting my niece, who was hosting the first in-person event for a forum she created for creative mums. The manager of the venue, Browns of Leith, heard I own a bakery and gave me some of their cakes. No one ever gives me cake! A lovely end to the best day.
These colours make me very happy (roast cauliflower, courgette and butterbeans on garlicky yoghurt with chicken and pickled pink onions)
We’re away for a couple of days (some work, mostly fun) so this is what I just had for dinner. Bavette steak with mushrooms with roasted green beans out of shot. And strawberry sorbet. I’m very happy.
Lovely evening in the sun with @bad-girls-bad-boy.bsky.social
Lovely, sunny hotel room, a new book and a food magazine. Can’t look at the magazine right now as I’m too full of gorgeous food. What a lovely Sunday @bad-girls-bad-boy.bsky.social
Not just cakes. Pitta for our lunch menu.
Raspberry brioche twists, milk chocolate brown butter cookies, cinnamon croissant buns, and dark chocolate strawberry loaf, to name a few.
We get lovely reviews like this all the time, so why am I obsessing about the horrible review from a woman complaining about the scones we’ve been making for 10 years without a single complaint?
I’m delighted with this morning’s charity shop find! My love of kitchen ware is not new but I can trace my love of beautiful stainless steel pots to the gorgeous cover of @nigella.bsky.social ‘s Feast. My find isn’t nearly as beautiful as hers but it’s made my day.
Obsessed with roasted strawberries at the moment. I’m having to limit myself to using them in one cake per day.
My pickling obsession is still going strong. Pickled cherry tomatoes and red onions and cottage cheese on toast is my new favourite. Look at those colours.
All the boys. Happy Sunday @bad-girls-bad-boy.bsky.social
Early shift on a Saturday is my favourite time of the week.
I’m impatient and love pretty colours. Quick pickling is my new favourite thing.
Happy Friday. Gorgeous flowers from @bad-girls-bad-boy.bsky.social
Triple strawberry loaf ❤️ Roasted strawberry buttercream, local strawberries and strawberry syrup.
