Hi, Im Whitney Berge

Aka, The Blonde who Bakes,
I am a wife and mom of 3, and a self- taught baker. I did not attend any formal culinary training, but I believe that nothing compares to learning as you go.
Being in the kitchen baking is something that has always been special to me, and I knew that I could use my business knowledge as well as my baking experience to bless others with some delicious desserts, but also teach them that they can do it as well.
About 15 years ago, I made the decision to not continue in my schooling for Sports Medicine and jumped in to selling my cakes and desserts.
My clientele grew steadily, and I had some very loyal customers. So I made the decision to open up a brick and mortar bakery.
a few years into the bakery, I had my first child. Though it was difficult trying to navigate being a new mom and business owner, I pushed though and continued with my dream. 3 months later, I had a very big surprise that I was pregnant again with baby boy #2. This is when I had to re-evaluate and make the hard decision to close my bakery. Little did I know, that was the best decision I could have ever made.

1 year after closing my bakery doors, I wanted to get back to my passion for baking
I knew that I needed to change my business strategy because I wanted to be at home with my 2 boys, yet still be able to be Whitney and continue to grow as an entrepreneur. After many long nights of trying to figure out how I could change my business structure yet do what I love.
I knew that I still wanted to bake desserts for people, but I wanted to focus a lot more of my energy on teaching others how to bake and create delicious and beautiful things.

And that my friends, is when The Blonde who Bakes came to be.

I followed the recipe even though I thought 3 cups of sugar (half white and half brown) was way too much for one stick of butter and 2 cups of flour. They’re not done yet and look horrible and made a mess in the oven. Are the amounts correct?

Beverly - why can’t you just follow a recipe and stop your negativity. Are you that big of a turd that you have to actually reply back with horrible comments? If you know the blonde that bakes and see what she does which is amazing work you’d shut the f*%# up and get your recipes from sites that tolerates your stupidity!
