Learn – {Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie}

November 16, 2015 by Whisk Kid

Bourbon Chocolate Pecan Pie - Whisk Kid

Occasionally, I wonder how different I would be if I had been born into a family of bakers. I wonder if I’d still be baking if I’d learned, as a child, to speak the language of dough. I wonder if the beauty of butter would still fascinate me, or if the magic of eggs would…

Spent – {Strawberry Tarts with Honey Balsamic Goat Cheese}

July 4, 2015 by Whisk Kid

Strawberry Tart with Honey Balsamic Goat Cheese. Easy and impressive party appetizer.

It’s 4:30 and I’m leaning heavily on the kitchen counter. My skin is radiating heat in regurgitated sunshine, an unglamorous exodus of energy leaving me as I lay halfway sprawled across the formica. There’s no weight left on my feet, and, even still, my left heel feels like it’s going to split. Taking stock of…

Babysitter – {PB&J Pie with Strawberries, Cinnamon, & Peanut Butter Pie Crust}

June 25, 2015 by Whisk Kid

PB&J Pie. Strawberries and cinnamon in a unique peanut butter pie crust. Cool twist on a classic!

Window – {Blueberry Pear Pie}

April 3, 2015 by Whisk Kid

Daintily scratching egg yolk from the tines of a forgotten fork, I made an exciting discovery in the shade of marsala: blushing edges on the petals of my pancake plant, Waffle, clearly drunk on the sun. I couldn’t blame him: the sun, all but drowning Waffle in his teeny 3” terracotta pot, was loud and…

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…
