3️⃣6️⃣ My favorite tradition — the annual look-back, the take-it-all-in, the remembering, the gratitude.

This year was centered around facing my fears, trying to understand what it is to be ‘enough’, and speaking to myself with unconditional love. I relearned how to ice skate, XC ski, and downhill ski. I joined a winter trail running club and ran a 10k at -17 degrees. I raced 10 trail miles in post-holing snow and surprised myself with a timely finish. I started therapy and went on antidepressants, finally digging in to some crazy shit almost 30 years late. I went into bear country by myself and quit the best job I’ll ever have and bought a house alone and tried to learn how to slow down. I’ve practiced being kind and gentle and loving to myself, trying hard to be my own best friend and my own mother and my own biggest cheerleader. I traveled to so many new places all over Alaska and the PNW and in South Korea, Mongolia, and China. I installed my first gallery show and then took a year-long break from my art. I soaked up my first full Alaskan winter. I spent quality time with amazing friends. And I slowly pulled myself and my heart and my mind back up into the light.

35 was a year of being brave as fuck.
💥 THE TARDIGRADE CAKE OF MY DREAMS 💥

After a redeye flight from Alaska to New York City, and I worked 38 hours over 3 days with 7 hours of cumulative sleep. Yesterday, after an inspired screening of ’s new PBS show Life Unearthed, we served 5-cakes-in-1 to 350 people at the American Museum of Natural History and communicated Antarctic microscopic science all along the way. This was a beast of a project, but a twelve year dream in the making and I can’t believe we did it in record time!!

So much more to come about this life-changing project. Thanks for being a part of this wild creative life with me, y’all. I’m on (an exhausted) cloud nine.
The premiere screening of my new series LIFE UNEARTHED at was a smashing success! Complete with a tardigrade cake and all day exhibition of my footage of microscopic wildlife from the series underneath the big blue whale.

Thank you to everyone who made this awesome day happen, including (but not limited to) making this incredible tardigrade cake, capturing the day, our incredible music composer flying out for the event along with my amazing collaborators and, moderating along with my co-producer Wes Swingley, and of course the entire team at.

Watch LIFE UNEARTHED with Ariel Waldman on PBS today! First 3 episodes are out, more coming weekly. Grab the PBS app on your streaming device, or watch it on and. Available in the U.S. and Canada. International viewers can watch the first episode of LIFE UNEARTHED with Ariel Waldman on the PBS YouTube channel.
🪨 Tardigrades became an obsession for me when one of my fellow chocolate makers in Brooklyn showed me this exact photo in 2013. To think that I’d be making a 3’ x 2’ x 2’ edible replica for the American Museum of Natural History 13 years later is wild.

🔬 Tardigrades are microscopic creatures found everywhere from moss to deep ocean sediments to polar ice. They’re known for their ability to survive extreme conditions by entering a near-suspended state of life (and for being endearingly chonky).

🪐 The cake I’m making for ’s Life Unearthed screening — her new show on PBS — is 5 cakes in 1. Each layer explores a different flavor profile, each representing the biological experiences that tardigrades have survived through five planetary extinctions over 500 million years.

🍴Toasted vanilla cake layered with:
• Salted black sesame buttercream and charcoal brittle (severe dehydration)
• Mint buttercream with dessicated coconut (extreme cold)
• Chili-tumeric buttercream (extreme heat)
• Ube and tart citrus buttercream (ultraviolet radiation / acidification)
• Pomegranate ganache with popping pearls (space vacuum / pressure)
The last few years have taught me that love is truly everything. The loss of love — whether it be friendship love, self love, romantic love, or family love — can introduce you to yourself in ways you never planned (or wanted) to meet. When I’ve been there, these people have shown me what love can look like.
What love can feel like.
What love can show up like.
What love can do from thousands and thousands of miles away.
Why love is everything.

I feel like the luckiest person on this planet to have people I love spanning this globe, celebrating life alongside me in every way. To all of you (and so many others that I couldn’t fit in, including the immense virtual support from some of you that I haven’t even met yet), I LOVE YOU SO MUCH. Happy Valentine’s Day, my babes. 💞
💥 Shaped By Ice: Altered Ecosystems opens TONIGHT! 5-7pm at in Twisp, WA.

I’m still snowed and iced in up in Alaska but so grateful to who shipped my pieces to be included, to for curating the unique second rendition of this show, and to and Margaret for hanging the gallery.

// SHOW SUMMARY //
“This group exhibition consists of artists who have worked with and been inspired by the North Cascades Glacier Climate Project. The two week field season in August completed the project’s 42nd year conducting annual studies on the same glaciers. This is co-led by glaciologist Dr. Mauri Pelto and the project’s Art Director, Jill Pelto, who has coordinated a variety of artists to backpack into the glaciers and experience the reality of the situation first hand.

The artwork explores stories about how our glacial regions are changing and how these changes deeply impact human and natural communities at many levels, from the loss of freshwater resources to ecosystem shifts.

Glacier loss is a visible sign of climate change. Our goal is to increase awareness, foster curiosity, and inspire personal connections between people and glaciers.”
📣 NEW SHOW! I’m excited to share that our group show from Seattle this April — Shaped By Ice — was invited to be exhibited again, this time at in Twisp, WA. The opening reception is this Saturday 5/17 from 5-7pm and the show will run through February 21. Please send photos if you pop in!

I’m overjoyed to continue showing this glacier work alongside,,,,, Cait Quirk, and curator. Proud to be a part of this powerhouse team uniting to showcase important visual stories of ecological shifts happening right now in the North Cascades range.

I travel for food adventures and outdoor adventures. And drinking wild fermented milk in Mongolia has been #1 on my list of foods I want to try for over a decade. Despite my excitement about future life changes, choosing to leave my job with the Antarctic Program was super hard, so I headed off to drown my sorrows in sour dairy.

I will forever hold close the memory of shopping for milk vodka in Mountain Dew bottles, funneling naturally-sparkling horse milk out of a 55-gallon open top hazardous waste drum into a dirty and communal pink plastic mug, sipping milk tea and washing dishes in a local nomadic family’s yurt, drinking and telling ghost stories from all over the world with a dozen new friends under a single dim light bulb, and running up a boulder field at 3am to lay on a cliff and stare up at a Milky Way that felt so close I could have grabbed a star and eaten it too. Waking up disheveled and messy-haired and feeling entirely myself in the middle of nowhere and everywhere. Thanks to Dauka for showing me the real Mongolia and making sure we got 13 servings of milk at every meal.

I spent my last evening trail running alone in the world’s first national park (!!!) and befriending a group of security guards at the bottom of the mountain who somehow managed to help me find a ride into the city (in the dark with no phone service and no shared languages) to go bar-hopping with Dauka before my flight to China.

Unbelievably grateful for this planet and its wild spaces and all the wild people on it.
WOW. This week changed my creative life. ✨ Getting to fill a gallery and exhibit my work alongside some of my climate art heroes was the joy of a lifetime. did an unbelievable job of curating our “Shaped By Ice: Glacial Identities” show, and it was overwhelming to finally see my dessert work taken seriously by and accepted in a formal art space — a goal I’ve been wishing for and working toward for five years now.

I’m so excited to share more about our gallery opening night at, the Creative Approach documentary release party at, and our artist panel event sponsored by. But while I collect all the best photos to share, enjoy this moment in time of an overjoyed artist and her biggest climate work to date. 💥

This cake is a visual scale model of each year of the North Cascades Glacier Climate Project (1984-2024). Striated with the climate warming stripes for Seattle, WA, this cake showcases the relationship between increasing annual temperatures and the loss of 31 glaciers in 40 years — along with a visual representation of the inverted environment we’re currently experiencing and the suspended disbelief of so many.

__________________________

(Thanks to and sooooo many others for filling this weekend with creative effervescence.)
IT’S HERE! 💥

In June 2023, painter, filmmaker, and myself drove over 500 miles, packed and transported 460 pounds of gear, flew 150 miles over North America’s highest mountain range, and camped for 10 nights on Denali National Park’s longest glacier at 7,200 feet.

We each pushed our creativity higher, bigger, and harder than ever before and made desserts, paintings, sketches, photos, and video pieces all inspired by the harsh environment. Infinitely bettered by each other’s friendship and artistic pursuits on the mountain, we stayed unified and inspired as we all struggled just as hard, overcame just as many necessary pivots, and thrived together in spite of it all.

Rachel is continuing work on a feature-length documentary about this project (which we’re hoping to complete later this summer), but today I’m thrilled to publicly release this three-minute teaser video showcasing my pastry piece of the puzzle.

Please dig in and enjoy. 🥣

Making desserts about science in our planet’s wildest places makes me feel more alive than anything else.

And sharing it here with you is quite truly what makes it all worth it. So thank you for being here. And buckle up. It’s about to get real damn good.

Lastly, thank you to for the most intentional, personal, and absolute warmest partnership in every way.
