The days are getting colder as the Australian autumn rolls into a wintry haze,
& i’m envious of the blossoming flower fields that the rest of the world is frolicking in.
thankfully,
i get to create my very own spring meadow on the modest cakes that i bake,
& it’s a glorious mess.
i love how the fresh blooms perfume the room as i weave them into the cake,
& the mesmerizing music of the la, la land soundtrack lilting in the background..

Here’s to the ones who dream
foolish as they may seem
here’s to the hearts that ache
here’s to the mess we make
she told me:
“a bit of madness is key
to give us new colors to see
who knows where it will lead us?
& that’s why they need us”
