Brother – {Spiced Oat Cake with Ginger Plum Buttercream and Oat Crunch}

October 31, 2012 by Whisk Kid

D is a good guy. When we were young, we didn’t get along. He chose not to speak much, but when he did, his remarks were often calculated and hurtful. He had a knack for exploiting my insecurities in the most creative ways; shaming me into a pathetic down-on-myself funk from birth through most of…

Surprise – {Berry Pie}

July 17, 2012 by Whisk Kid

In response to an earlier post, I still haven’t decided what I want to do with my life. I’ve still got my marketing internship (currently playing around with some fun social media stuff that I’m hoping I’ve got time to integrate in this space sometime soon), but I’ve added a position as a baker to…

For H – {Blueberry Balsamic Cupcakes}

June 30, 2012 by Whisk Kid

Due to a number of circumstances, I ate many of my meals alone during the second semester of my freshman year. It wasn’t an experience I was particularly fond of. As much as I enjoy being alone, the stark contrast between dining with nine to dining with none in the dorm cafeteria kind of made…

Roof – {Best Birthday Cake with Sour Cream Chocolate Frosting}

May 21, 2012 by Whisk Kid

It was 6 PM on a cool Sunday in May, and our waitress was enjoying the leisurely trickle of customers through the patio door. It wasn’t really warm enough to justify the icy pitcher of sangria that we’d ordered, but it didn’t matter. After recording our request, our waitress – A – headed for the…

21 – {Harvey Wallbanger Cake}

May 9, 2012 by Whisk Kid

I forgot to tell you guys: I turned 21 at the end of March. Before you even ask: yes. I am still a kid. I know I’ve talked about it before, but it’s a state of mind more than anything. I mean, I’m certainly mature, but I’m young at heart. Is that so hard to…

Stranger – {Hippie Hash}

March 19, 2012 by Whisk Kid

There’s a time and place where any kind of language is completely appropriate. This blog is not one of those instances. Stalling (for the second time in one day) on a four lane road at the beginning of rush hour, however, is. The string of words that fell, uncensored, from my mouth at that moment…

Calm – {Grapefruit Cake}

February 23, 2012 by Whisk Kid

Over the past month, I’ve enjoyed waking up to quietness and going about my morning routine alone. I’ve become accustomed to the ease and speed of making breakfast for one and am strangely comforted by hours of wordless peace spent in an ambient living room. It’s been calming after months of enjoyable but tiring trips…
