Lemon Matcha Muffins

Have you seen the Netflix movie called “The Unicorn Store”? This movie is about an early 20-something who gets kicked out of art school for her whimsical and childlike artwork. She then finds herself by having to prove herself worthy of owning a unicorn but in the end decides she loves herself enough that she doesn’t need something else to lover her.

The story has such a wonderful message and aesthetic. The main character happens to be an artist, her artwork is a mix of bright colors and sparkles! There is one scene where the main character wears an incredibly weird outfit and throws confetti and stuff everywhere! In that moment I had a revelation, yes that is me.

The concept for these matcha muffins comes from there. I saw those scenes and I was like yes, this is who I am as a person.
