Caitlin Carrick-Varty | 22 | Glasgow

Hello!

Thanks for stopping by! My name is Caitlin, I’m a student in Glasgow and I love to bake. Squashing bread dough, mixing cake batter, smearing cream over freshly baked pastry and seeing the face of an adult turn to look like an excited child the second a cake is serenaded into a room is what makes me happy.

If you’ve had a look at a few of my posts, maybe you’re wondering who Joe is? Joe is my brother, a poet based in London, and who I write all of my posts to. You can find a bit more of him on his website here and his twitter here.

I hope you enjoy having a lil look around my site, it’s good to have you here! May you forever have a bit of cake on your face,

Caitlin xx

Happy Cake On My Face Christmas Eve to you mate 🌟 Fluffy mascarpone dough and chocolate mousse filling. Tastes like the kind of chocolate doughnut you get at the school canteen or Lidl. Hope you see this as a compliment.... see it as a compliment Looking closer and closer at a sugary raspberry frangipane 🧐😍 1. Get out your phone, get the camera up on selfie mode. 2. Find a great background, preferably with a block colour. 3. Add a bit of interest to the background or to your face, such as looking very tired or hungover, maybe find a wall with a light switch on it. These kinds of details make for added appeal to your final picture. 4. Stand in front of your chosen interesting-block-colourd-wall-with-light switch-background, look tired. 5. Hold up your phone camera (selfie mode!), look at your face on the screen, give a little closed lip smile and take a pic. 6. Get creative! Experiment with angle, lighting, facial expression. The zoom function is a great feature for those more experienced selfie takers, don't get ahead of yourself though - take it one selfie at a time.
