✨ From The Golden Whisk to Whisk and Wolf ✨
New name, fresh start… but it’s still ME! Same posts, same laughs, just with a shiny new look. 💛

We’ve really found our groove with the blog, and I can’t wait to share what’s coming. By now, you’ve probably noticed the name change, updated info, and all that boring back-end stuff. ✔️

But here’s the fun part: this week we’re dropping our OOEY GOOEY Butter Bars (with a video, too 🎥). If you know, you know… these bars are soft, buttery, melt-in-your-mouth perfection with a golden crust that’s just chef’s kiss. 👩‍🍳✨

👉 Drop a 👋 in the comments so I know you’re still here with me!
👉 And if you missed our stories… heads up: we’ll have a very limited batch of extras up for grabs this weekend. First come, first served!

Holy smokes, y’all!! 🥹 The love and support you’ve shown me this past week has me wanting to cry (happy tears, of course). We’ve officially reached over 30,000 people in the past 7 days 🤯

I feel like I’m finally getting the hang of this posting thing, and it’s giving me so much more clarity about the direction I want to take this little dream of mine.

We’re still figuring out the video side of things. Right now it feels like one giant blooper reel 😅 but we’re rolling with it!

And since this crisp morning air has me thinking of cozy fall days, here’s a throwback to some of my favorite pies I’ve made 🥧🍂.
What’s your go to fall dessert? Pie, crisp, or cobbler? Ours is of course, Cinnamon Rolls 🤪
You can even let me know what you’d like to see next! 👀

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for showing up, cheering me on, and making this space so special. Y’all truly are the best!

✨Golden hour + Grandma’s recipe = pure cookie magic.✨

Freshly iced oatmeal cookies, catching the last bit of sunlight, and reminding me why this recipe is so special. These aren’t just any oatmeal cookies, they’re the ones passed down from my grandma, perfected in a busy bakery kitchen, and now shared with you.

I just published the full recipe (plus some chef tips & tricks I’ve learned along the way) over on my Substack. If you love cookies with a touch of nostalgia, and a drizzle of icing, you’ll want to check it out. 🍪🤍

✨ A New Chapter in This Little Bakery ✨

As many of you know, this industry isn’t for the faint of heart. It’s early mornings, late nights, a whole lot of sugar… and even more heart. 💛 The only reason I was able to pour mine into this space was because of YOU, our incredible regulars who showed up, cheered us on, and made this kitchen feel like home.

Now it’s time to pass the whisk. 🥄 A brand-new baker is stepping in to make this place her own, and I couldn’t be more excited for you to meet her. She’s talented, passionate, and ready to carry on the tradition of filling your days with something sweet.

So here’s my ask: please show her the same love and support you gave me. In a business as tough as this one, it truly makes all the difference. Let’s rally behind her the way you rallied behind me, you’ll be glad you did. 💕

Here’s to new beginnings, warm ovens, and community over competition. Follow and stay tuned, a Grand Opening date is coming soon! ✨

👋 Hi friends, I’m Jasmine — the face behind Aunt Cake’s Bakery.
What started in my home kitchen is about to become a full bakery downtown. 🏠➡️🏢
We can’t wait to bake for you! ❤️

✨We thought it was only fitting to start our journey with the cookie that stands the test of time. Simple, timeless, and straight from Grandma’s kitchen. Oatmeal cookies are the base for so many of our favorites, from iced oatmeal to oatmeal raisin and even oatmeal cream pies. One classic recipe, countless sweet memories. Because sometimes the oldest, simplest recipes are the ones that keep inspiring new favorites.

Mark your calendars… Monday we start with a cookie that’s stood the test of time. 💛

🌟 In true Mariah fashion… it’s tiiimeeee! 🌟

✨ Big News from The Golden Whisk ✨

Many of you know me as the face (and hands!) behind The Golden Whisk Bakery. For years, I poured my heart into creating cakes, pastries, and sweet treats for this community. While the ovens may no longer be running, my passion for food has never stopped.

That’s why I’m so excited to share that The Golden Whisk is getting a new flavor! 🥄 Instead of bakery orders, this page will now be home to a food blog + foodie adventures.

👩‍🍳 As a professionally trained pastry chef, I’ll be sharing:
🍴 Recipes (both sweet & savory)
📸 Behind-the-scenes kitchen moments
🌎 Food inspiration from everyday life
💡 Tips, tricks & stories from my chef journey

Think of it as pulling up a chair in my kitchen where The Golden Whisk lives on in a whole new way.

💛 And today, the very first blog post is live! I’m sharing the “why now” behind this shift from bakery to blog. Click me ⤵️

Over the weekend, we’ll also be unveiling a fresh new name for this page (Facebook will alert you when it changes!) as part of this exciting chapter.
Along with that, our social media will be getting a full makeover over the next week so keep an eye out for the glow-up!

While our Facebook and Instagram will also have a catchy handle added on to our new name one thing that will stay consistent across all like the blog is mine: Kaylei Wolf. Because at the end of the day, I’m not just marketing food, I’m sharing me. My story, my experiences, and my journey.

We’re gearing up for content starting in the next week just in time for the holiday season, when families gather around the table and share food, stories, and memories. So while the bakery doors may have closed, the memories are still wide open and now they’re yours to bring to life at home.
So pull up a chair, grab a fork, and let’s dig into this new chapter together. 🍽️

✨ I’d love to know: what would you love to see first? ✨

Because the love of baking doesn't stop at the bakery.

✨ You’ve met me… now meet the women who started it all ✨

Grandma Stinson : Born in 1918. Oh, how she would’ve loved seeing so many of you enjoy her baked goods today. She’s the reason we had teacakes, breakfast biscuits, gooey bars, coconut cream pie, and pound cake ❤️
And let me tell you, if you showed up at her house wearing $100 American Eagle holey jeans, you can bet your britches they’d be patched before you left! 😉

Memaw : She’s still with us (so her age stays a family secret 🤫), and some of you may have even seen her at the bakery! She’s the woman behind the warm cinnamon rolls, pumpkin rolls, cookies, and all things cake decorating. 🥰
Fun fact: she helped me bake my very first wedding cake back in high school for my english teacher… which promptly fell apart in the car after I hit a pothole. I remade it solo, and that became my first buttercream flower cake. 🥲
(Thanks, Mr. Jaye, for trusting me to be your wedding baker!)
She also witnessed my first kitchen “oops”…getting my hair stuck in the mixer while making red velvet cake. Let’s just say I was a redhead for the day… and I’ve never baked without a ponytail since 😂.

Mom : Baking might not be her gift (love you, Mom 🫶🏻), but the savory side of The Golden Whisk is ALL her. The soups from our soup flights and the cornbread that paired with them? 100% her influence. 💛 She also deserves a shoutout for funding my early baking obsession even when my grocery lists looked like a second mortgage 😅.
(Also… true story: once, in the middle of baking, I told my own mom to get out of her own kitchen. I’ve never seen people scatter so fast ☠️😂).

✨ These three women laid the foundation for everything The Golden Whisk became, long before the bakery ever opened. Every recipe, every story, every bit of love I’ve poured into the kitchen comes from them.

And now… it’s time to turn the page tomorrow💕
With this new chapter comes a fresh start, and yes, a new name! After tomorrow’s big announcement, you’ll see our page transform. But don’t worry: The Golden Whisk was always more than a name. What you’ve helped me build is nearly 100 years in the making of family, traditions, recipes, and memories, all shared around the table. And I’ll carry that forward with me into what’s next. 💛✨
