I am fascinated by the world where gardens meet edibles; most usually in bakery recipes. I have experimented with everything from Lilac infused donuts to Dill, Rosemary or Cardamon breads. With the onset of Spring, I was going to do a feature on foraging. But recently I've stumbled onto this Rabbit Hole of genius that is Miss Wondersmith.
She is this pixie of good nature from the Pacific Northwest. I first found her via a suggested follow on Instagram. Self-labeled on her webpage, she refers to herself as a Do-Gooder who sees joy through the world of nature and wants to spread its wonders. So many incredible talents. Give her a full read when you have some time.
But again, my first draw to her were her bizarre and unusual baking creations. They are far beyond what you see on any cable baking show. Her originality is boundless and the presentation is worthy of an art exhibit. The colors are intense and I can only imagine the flavors are as well.
How about Flowerfetti Pierogis! She hand rolls out her own pasta with an assorted list of some 25+ flower petals as options in the tapestry. I would never get past the pressing of the dough itself!
Who would have guessed Tulips?! Apparently they can vary from sweet to spicy and have the crunch of an iceberg lettuce. Her genius again mixes them with spring Asparagus and stuffs them into a lovely setting of stems and petals! I cannot even imagine.
