About

Caitlin Carrick-Varty | 24 | Glasgow

A big welcome to you.

Cake On My Face is a baking blog written in letters to my brother, Joe. I write about moments of change, failure, and accomplishment, with a baking recipe that captures the moment in flavour and taste.

These letters are a reminder to me and my brother to celebrate the moments of joy in life, which in my experience, are almost always followed by a plate of something sweet and sticky. This is a blog for anyone who likes cake, and a good, honest story.  

Joe is a poet based in London. You can find a bit more of him on his website here.

I hope you enjoy having a look around. It’s good to have you here! May you forever have a bit of cake on your face.

Ahhh back at home kitchen with a cream cheese buttercream iced carrot cake decorated with all the time in the world ha Streuselkuchen with rhubarb, or like a nuance of rhubarb haha made in my Berlin kitchen - I don’t have my camera or any of my kit with me so phone camera pictures and a plate as a background is what we got ! One two three cake The look of this cake pleases me so much. It’s a basic pound cake recipe - off the top of my head 225g butter and sugar, 3 large eggs 185g self-raising flour, 50g ground hazelnuts, cocoa powder and milk added to half the batter - maybe not perfect but deffo will produce a cake for those asking x Kinda like looking at something you want to eat while imagining your eating it… I made sticky toffee blondies! Rhubarb Cake x Two layers of orange and almond syrup sponge, blackcurrant jam, rosewater and vanilla marzipan x Horrayy it’s a new recipe Honey cake and custard cream tower
