Tender Things — oh, what a delicate, heart-whisper of a name. 🍓🍰🫖
It’s gentle, nostalgic, and deeply kind. This isn’t just a bake — it’s a mood, a memory, a moment held carefully between your fingers like a butterfly wing. Soft, sweet, and made to be shared.
🌸🫶 Tender Things
sugar-dusted tea cakes or jam sandwich cookies with soft centers and even softer intentions
🌿 Vibe:
Lace doilies. Afternoon sun. A pot of tea steeping quietly in the background.
These are the treats you bring to a friend in need of gentleness — the kind you bake when words aren’t quite enough, but sweetness might be.
Think of them as edible affection.
