]]>The mastermind behind the successful food blog Oh Honey Bakes, Howard has gained online stardom thanks to her seasonal recipes of (mostly) gluten-free cakes. Because who said you can’t have your cake and eat it too?
“I transitioned to a gluten-free diet about a year ago, and while I still love over-the-top cakes, I want to create recipes for every day as well as for special occasions,” relayed Howard in an interview with le buzz.
Some of her recent recipes include dark chocolate pound cake with dark chocolate ganache and pumpkin cake with gingersnap toffee, cream cheese buttercream filling, and cinnamon Swiss merengue (is your mouth watering yet?).
Raised in Virginia, at the base of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Howard is currently based outside of Seattle, where she works from her tiny farm.
“I fell in love with baking about ten years ago,” she shared in the interview. “I started baking insane cakes after I had my son, and friends started asking for the recipes.”
According to Howard, it was when the family moved to Seattle (and after some encouragement from a friend), that she started posting her cake recipes, sharing them with a larger audience. “I really had no expectations, it was just something fun for me to do,” she admits.
Her Instagram page will inspire you to start baking.

]]>“We use exceptional Belgian chocolate as a base for our creative flavors and designs, adding natural & high-quality inclusions, flavors, and colors along the way,” write the mother and daughter on their website. Their products include seasonal collections of chocolate bars and gifts, many of which are limited editions.
“We started making chocolate in 2010 after a short course with an Italian pastry chef,” they further explained in an interview with Printed. “Originally we set up in my parent’s garage with some second-hand equipment to practice our skills, but then in 2011, we got the keys to a small shop in the local town center. Over the years we have grown to now have over 150 stockists around the world and we now have a mini-factory (our shop closed last year) where we can make 10,000 chocolate bars a week!”
While mother, Andrea Huntington, manages the factory and production team, daughter, Lucy Elliott, is in charge of the creative side of Creighton’s, designing each range, packaging, and branding. Inspired by a love for design, combined with a nostalgia for ’90s pop culture and an excessive sweet-tooth, their colorful packaging oozes creativity, adding a playful twist to their chocolate bars.
It’s also good to know that their brand is ethical, committed to reducing the use of non-recyclable plastic with the majority of their wrappers made from recyclable or reusable material such as paper, card, and aluminum.

]]>Who said a dessert has to consist of eggs and milk? 17-years-old, Jose, would argue that you can make a mouthwatering dish that’s 100% vegan. And with more than 1.6 million (!) followers on Instagram, he’s clearly more than proven himself. Based in Lima, Peru, Jose went 100 percent vegan by the age of 14 and taught himself to cook from scratch. His Instagram page features anything from cakes to smoothies. “Life’s too short to eat boring food,” reads his bio.
Chef Loria Stern has turned into somewhat of a celebrity, thanks to her beautiful flower pressed shortbread cookies, which were featured in publications like Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, and Goop. Entirely made by hand, each cookie is different, pressed with individual botanicals, using flowers and herbs seasonally available. “On a busy week, we bake over 2,000 cookies,” shared Stern with Voyage LA. “I’m most proud that I get to do what I love most for work– and that is feed people.”
Drink up! New Zealand-based food artist, Hazel Zakariya, creates remarkable smoothies that are pure delight. Treating her smoothies as a sort of canvas, her smoothie-paintings feature real or fictional characters. As a base, she uses smoothies made from cream, milk, fruits, and berries, while the paintings themselves are created using coconut cream, almond milk, spices, herbs, and vegetable powders. But would you dare destroy this tangible art piece?

]]>Are cupcakes still a thing? Yes, and they’re bigger and better than before!
At the bright, pastel-colored Cupcake Market you will find lively, edible bouquets and cute personalized face cookies that attract flocks of sweet-obsessed clientele. Made out of frosting, every rose is handmade and looks insanely realistic.
The Flour Shop, dubbed as the “most Instagrammable bakery” in The Big Apple, is all about flour power!
The charming shop is known for making some of the most colorful cakes you’ll ever see. Every layer has a different color and the center is hollowed out and filled with sprinkles. If you think the exterior is gorgeous, wait until you cut it!
Have you ever just wanted to scoop the cookie dough mix with a spoon and enter sugary heaven? Well this shop, devoted to cookie dough, offers you to do just that! And if that’s not enough, you can have a cookie dough ice cream sandwich!

Meet Dinara Kasko. She’s a 28-year-old pastry chef from Ukraine, whose creativity takes pastry to a whole new level. She has worked as an architect, designer
