About


I love connecting over food. Here you'll find recipes, conversations, shares, and shop goods that are all connected to food and living a nourished, inspired life. Most of the recipes have a healthful focus, while still being indulgent. Join me for simple, satisfying eats that are kitchen un-intensive. And then get googley-eyed over desserts that you'll find on the blog and from my home-based bakery.

My passions are connected to food, health and wellness, a love for nature, and a desire to live a content and fulfilled life. In the fall of 2018 I became a wife and I am soaking up every moment of it. We have three puppyLoves - Deacon, Chloe, and Sebastián. I LOVE desserts, especially cookies and pie. I equally love nutritious, fresh foods.

I love: handmade and vintage, supporting local and makers, entrepreneurship, being able to be creative, completing an endeavor, records, food, nutrition, helping others accomplish their bucket list, the ocean, sunny days, business and self-improvement books, podcasts, being up before the sun, going to bed early, baking, sharing food experiences, the occasional metal bar (insert rocker hand emoji), and really, anything that brings a bit of happy.

I appreciate you being here. You can visit me on instagram @dolce.terra.

✨ Decorate a Cake with Me ✨ Part 2 ✨ Putting ✨ Decorate a Cake with Me ✨ Part 2 ✨ Putting the final touches on the closing celebration cake that I made for our very special clients (who just happened to be one of my favorite people and besties ❤️). 

The wrapping of the flowers is such a tedious process 😄. This video recap does not do the time involved (in the whole decorating process) justice 😄. 

Flowering cakes is one of my favorite things to do, though, so it was all worth it ✨.

I forget how much baking and putting the flower finishes on cakes is so much a part of me until I get back to it.

April in Moments ✨ I’ll always love look backs April in Moments ✨ I’ll always love look backs, a sweet reminder of all the good that happened ✨.

The month was full of pup time, real estate things, sprinkled with Dolce, and Deacon escorts to my office ❤️, there was a day trip for Jorge, and finished with dinner at my grandma’s for tacos ❤️, a gift from her of her apple cake to bring home ☺️, and a park meet up with my mom, brother, and his pup, Zen 🐾.

✨ Decorate a Cake With Me ✨ Part 1 ✨ We had ✨ Decorate a Cake With Me ✨ Part 1 ✨ We had a very special closing on Friday, so Dolce came out of cake hiatus again 😄.

It definitely wasn’t my most meticulous cake decorating. To save time, I didn’t level the cakes (thankfully, they were pretty even layers that were level enough to get by 😄) and I didn’t chill the cake layers before crumb coating it. The cake still turned out beautiful! ✨

Excited to share the rest of the process and the finished cake over the next couple of videos.
