Dear Gia,

Sore throat Sunday. #juliachild #thefrenchchef #tea

Bake 12: Lemon Almond Scones from the classic #cookbook, Joy of Cooking. These were perfectly paired with my @pgtips this morning. ☕️ #bakegiabake

Sunday morning #scone action. #bakegiabake

Mom, Dad, I don't know what this is on my head, but it seems to make you really happy, so I can wear it for ONE picture, okay?

Bake 11: Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough #Cheesecake, from @melskitchencafe. @bjorntorock won a baked good from me in a charitable auction we had in September. This was his request, so I made it happen. #bakegiabake

Feeling... crusty? #cheesecake baking for @bjorntorock because I am the best coworker ever. #bakegiabake

Sassafrass.

Our little #pumpkin! 🎃 She's the prettiest jack-o-lantern I've ever seen! #dogstagram #aussiesofinstagram #heelersofinstagram

Bake 11: #Halloween sugar cookies with royal icing. This was my first time ever using the outline & flood method with royal icing. I definitely need to practice because it's not as easy as #bakers make it look! Cookie cutters from @wiltoncakes. Very #spoopy. Happy Halloween, everyone! 🎃 #bakegiabake

"Bake" 10: @altonbrown's #candycorn recipe. Not technically "baking," but I'm counting it. This took a while to shape, but they're worth it! Much better than the store-bought stuff! #bakegiabake

We have spooky supplies for today's experiment. #candycorn #bakegiabake #spoopy #spooky
