About the Kid

Hi. I’m Kaitlin.

In 2009, finding myself bored in the summer between high school and college, I started Whisk Kid. Blogging has become a treasured hobby, and having this creative outlet definitely helped to keep me sane through my years studying in Michigan State University’s Broad College of Business. I’ve taken some breaks from writing here and there, but baking is always on my mind.

After graduation, I spent three years working at a tech company, then made the switch to the food world at the beginning of 2016 as The Kitchn’s Social Media Manager. I currently live in Mid-Michigan with my husband, Steven, and our dog, Olive.

I’m well past 18 now, and definitely old enough for people to tease me that I really shouldn’t be calling myself a kid anymore. But you know what? I believe in learning, I believe in growing from experiences, and I believe that you’re only as old as you feel. The way I see it, I’ll be a kid forever.

I recently filmed a series of classes with an amazing company — so keep an eye out for that!

If you’re interested in working with me, please drop me a note at the email address below. I love developing content for (and with!) brands that are a good fit for the blog.

P.S. Once upon a time, I got to be a guest on The Martha Stewart Show. That was pretty neat. Check out the recipe for my Rainbow Cake and the video below.
