Baking up handcrafted desserts and IT solutions!

GitHub was down for almost 8 HOURS last Monday and my dev brain still hasn't recovered.

New post breaks down what actually happened (spoiler: it's not just "too much traffic") plus why this is the platform's second major hiccup this month alone.

I finally put my own spin on the Dubai chocolate craze, and it came out as a cinnamon roll! Same dough I used for my bananas foster rolls, but this time filled with chocolate chips and pistachios, topped with a cream cheese chocolate frosting and a homemade crispy kataifi. I brought a batch to work and they were gone almost instantly, good thing I saved one for my wife before that happened! Would you try this flavor combo in cinnamon roll form?

An AI agent got stuck on an internal test, reasoned its way to indirect internet access, and left a note for other agents about what it found. Weeks later, that same coordination pattern led to a real production breach at Hugging Face.
I broke down what happened, how a repository manager called Artifactory became the entry point, and why soft guardrails aren't enough once agents are chasing a specific goal with real system access.

Big news — I entered my first-ever baking competition at work and won first prize! My spring-themed Earl Grey pound cake with a tart raspberry-lemon glaze and edible flower topping took the crown. The full story (and recipe!) is up on the blog now. Have you ever entered a baking competition? I'd love to hear about it in the comments!

🍌 Bananas Foster Cinnamon Rolls: Because Why Not?
I had a serious craving for cinnamon rolls recently, but I wanted to shake things up with intense banana flavor and an adult kick. Then it hit me: what if I combined my cinnamon roll recipe with the bananas foster I had on vacation years ago?
So I got to work:

✨ Removed 1/4 of the sugar from my base recipe
✨ Added 3 mashed, ripe bananas
✨ Mixed in 2 shots of rum
✨ Added rum to my heavy cream soak for extra indulgence

The bananas and rum made the dough more liquid than usual, so I had to chill it thoroughly before rolling and cutting. But the result? Absolutely worth it. Rich banana flavor, subtle rum warmth, and all that ooey-gooey cinnamon roll goodness.
Now I'm thinking about other seasonal variations—pumpkin spice for fall, peppermint for winter, strawberry for spring...
What seasonal cinnamon roll flavor would YOU want to try? Let me know in the comments!

FRYING ADVENTURES: Banana Croquettes
Discovered and her amazing work preserving lost Black American recipes. Had to try her banana croquettes!
The process:
- Waited 5 days for perfectly overripe bananas
- Mixed with vanilla wafers, eggs, sugar & cinnamon
- Fried to golden brown perfection
- Dusted with powdered sugar
They came out darker than the video (thanks, super ripe bananas!) but WOW - absolutely incredible.
Next up: berry dumplings & recreating the pecan chewies from my family reunions 👀
What lost recipe should I try next?

Mythicon Adventure: A Valentine's Vending Story 💜
I just wrapped up my biggest vending event yet at Mythicon, and WOW, what a journey!
After working a full day as a DevOps engineer, I baked until 4 AM to prepare hundreds of cookies, including vegan and gluten-free heart-shaped thumbprint cookies (apple and four berry flavors). Day One? Sold out of four berry completely. Day Two? Woke up at 4 AM again, drove an hour to bake more, and invented a Great British Baking Show-inspired cooling hack involving ice cube trays and furious fanning. Day Three? Sold out EVERYTHING with 2 hours to go!
The highlight wasn't just the sales—it was seeing everyone's reactions, going on stage with Supaman, and connecting with amazing fellow vendors like Renee and Craig from Golden Rose Cakery.
This Fae-mily has my heart. Can't wait for the next adventure!

It's day 2 of Mythicon and Valentine's Day! Yesterday we arrived with our tasty treats, and the amount of love for the four berry thumbprint cookies was immense! So much so, that we're just about sold out!

As a result, I rushed back to the kitchen to whip up some more for today's market - I might show up a little after the 10 AM opening time, but my wonderful second half will be at the booth, so say hi (and have a cookie)!

We're in the final countdown for Mythicon, which means that I'll be burning the midnight oil baking all kinds of delectable desserts to feed the masses over this magical weekend! Get your taste buds ready for the following delights, starting with the megabyte line, which are huge, soft treats that are crispy on the outside:
Megabyte Chocolate Chunk Cookies
Megabyte Butterscotch and Toffee Cookies

Additionally, I have taken the feedback from Goblyncon and created some gluten-free vegan recipes, which are as follows:
Four-Berry Thumbprint Cookies
Apple Thumbprint Cookies

Can't wait to see you all at the Sweet Bites and Bytes booth tomorrow!
