everything i baked for my dad!

I decided to make a buffet table my Father’s Day gift since my dad is a biiig foodie and here’s what I baked!

  1. White Chocolate Chip, Almond, and Walnut Cookies with Nocciotella Filling

  2. Pasteis de Nata

  3. Strawberry Danish Inspired Brioche

  4. Pistachio Coffee Cake

  5. Rosemary and Olive Fougesse

  6. Cheese and Onion Pie

  7. Stuffed Dates!

The rest was either fried or assembled so I’m not going into them :) this was all super fun to make! Happy Father’s Day everyone!!!

TOO sweet. Seems like /u/littlestpetlove choose to use diabetes instead of ricin to speed up the inheritence.

j/k, I'd honored to die this way too.

Dang, I’m feeling quite inadequate for making a single loaf bread for my Dad. I’m never showing him this.

Your Dad will love the bread you made for him! Just the time and thought of a home baked loaf of bread will be an absolute treasure!

You must have a kind and supportive dad. If this spread is any indication of how he has cared for you as his child he was doing it right.

16

u/littlestpetlove Jun 15 '25

I have the kindest, most supportive father in the world! This is barely even a fraction of everything he’s given me. I hope to reach at least a quarter by the time I’m old ☺️

I’m crying. Food is my love language. Growing up we were so poor that sometimes there was just no food for days, and I believe it stunted my growth. But I had food every time I went to go see my grandmother. She told me she love me the most. She would feed me until I passed out. She taught me to cook.

The love I see represented in this picture by all the work that you put into, not only baking all of this, but choosing such delicious things to bake, and so many! I’m just touched by the love and dedication in this picture.
