If you are one to lose yourself on Instagram or TikTok watching food accounts, most likely you have run across Becca Rae-Tucker, AKA @thesweetfeminist. Becca started using cake as a canvas for expressing her political opinion, specifically about abortion and female productive rights and the concept has really taken off. With several hundred thousand followers she has been able to build a community that is not just into her cakes, but also advocating for safe and legal access to abortion care.

Becca's first cookbook Baking By Feel: Recipes to Sort Out Your Emotions (Whatever They Are) releases October 25, and in this episode, she talks to Jess and Jess about the experience of baking as a way to process your emotions. Not only is this cookbook filled with delicious desert recipes, they are created to correspond with whatever you are feeling on any particular day. Bored? Mad? Lonely? Becca has created a recipe to meet a multitude of emotions, and as she explains in this episode, it has nothing to do with the end result, but all about the process, discovery and recovery of one's self.

Meet Becca:
Becca Rea-Tucker’s first foray into baking came in the form of licking the cookie dough off the beaters while watching her grandma make chocolate chip cookies. She is a baker, recipe writer, feelings lover, and strong-willed voice behind the oft-shared Instagram account @thesweetfeminist. She lives in Austin, TX with her husband.
