Madison Whitaker – Baking Specialist
Some bakers measure every gram. I measure moments.
For me, baking has always been about more than flour and sugar—it’s about creating joy that can be sliced, shared, and savored. I still remember the smell of my first batch of chocolate chip cookies filling the kitchen, the way my friends’ faces lit up as we devoured them warm from the oven. That memory is why I bake today.
When life feels busy or overwhelming, baking brings me back to center. It’s where I find comfort, creativity, and connection.
Why I Specialize in Baking
Baking is magic. You start with the same basic ingredients—flour, eggs, butter—and with a little time and love, you end up with something entirely new.
I specialize in cookies, cakes, and breads because they’re the recipes that invite people to gather around the table. A plate of brownies turns an ordinary afternoon into a celebration. A loaf of bread can transform a simple soup into a feast.
For me, baking is about comfort—and there’s nothing more comforting than homemade.

My Baking Philosophy
Baking isn’t about perfection—it’s about presence. It’s about the joy of licking the spoon, the smell of something rising in the oven, the comfort of sharing what you’ve made.
My philosophy is simple: Bake with love, share with joy, repeat often.
