Lavender Mocha Hot Chocolate

I was never really a fan of lavender…or hot chocolate. BUT! Once upon a time, back in May, I went to The Butcher’s Daughter in LA & had a lavender mocha latte (or something like that?). Game Changer. *fist emoji* It was delicious & when I did my post on that trip I promised you guys I would make it. Then I never did but now I did so were cool right?! kthankscool, so here is my version, a lavender mocha hot chocolate edition.

Also I finally caved in & bought these cute little weck jars, from World Market, which I used as cups obvvv. & I bought that plate & french press from there on black friday, as well. Yes, that’s right. That’s a french press, isn’t it beautiful? I bought it as a prop but I’m all for throwing out the ugly one & replacing it with this beauty that serves a double purpose. 

I’ve also been practicing a lot of action shots, hence all my pour/dust/hand shots. I think I’m getting pretty decent, ehhh?! What do you guys think? Let me know down below! Obviously there’s always room for improvement but I only first picked up a camera exactly one year ago & then put it back down for about 2-3 months so I’ve definitely come a long way in a short amount of time. At least IMO & I give most of the credit to foodtography school. 

Ok, I’m gonna go make dinner now so you go enjoy this super rich lavender mocha hot chocolate! If you make this, let me know what you think & make sure to tag me @baranbakery or #bakewithb ! As always, have a blessed day & happy baking…or drinking, I guess?!

Love, B
