overconfident maple marshmallow cookies
Overconfident but aware - it’s knowing something might not work but going for it anyways. It’s feeling certain with a hint of the unknown, it’s reckless with a thoughtful gaze, it’s bold yet carefully so. It’s a rare, and exciting, mix of emotions.
It’s the perfect storm and the best conditions for tackling THE list. The list that’s been filled with every intriguing, exciting, unexpected thought that’s low priority but still too interesting to ignore. It’s time to work off the list, take the risk, have your fun, and do it again tomorrow. Enjoy this overconfident mood (and bake)!

that’s perfectly balanced in taste and texture,
with a strangely satisfying, fun, engaging vibe that fills the room,
and that’s a true indication to enjoy this mood more often...

Feel. Bake. Better.
It’s not just about baking something to get you through the day.
It’s not about eating the whole tray to feel better.
It’s about getting lost in the process.
It’s about enjoying every moment.
It’s about sharing it with people that support and care about you.
Baking can be a lot of things – it can be distracting but simple, it can be movement with focus, it can be whatever you need when you need it. Choose a recipe to fit the mood and it becomes a useful tool as well – baking to quiet the mind, to connect with your emotions, or simply baking to feel emotional. Just think of the feelings you get and the emotions you experience when baking your favourite dessert…. excitement, relief, fulfillment, joy, accomplishment.
