Hi! I’m Kait. I was born and raised near Boulder, CO with 5 siblings. I started dancing at the age of 5 and quickly fell in love with it. I left home at the beginning of my Junior year in High School to dance at a boarding school for ballet dancers, which led to a traineeship with The Washington Ballet in DC, and with Ballet West in Salt Lake City. My background in ballet has given me many valuable skills and has contributed to my discipline and perfectionism in all areas of my life. 

All the while pursuing a career in ballet, I always loved to bake, and dreamed of opening my own bakery one day. On the weekends, I’d take the bus down to Georgetown Cupcake, the place that started my obsession with baked goods. I’d scour the internet for recipes and test them out with my friends. After becoming a mother, I added layered cakes to my repertoire, and have had to come up with some pretty interesting motor bike, construction vehicle, and airplane themed cakes. 

I received a marketing degree from BYU and graduated in 2017. I love having my education and that I’ve been able to be home with my kids while working for a digital marketing agency.

Macarons caught my eye after taking a macaron demo class at Orson Gygi in Salt Lake. I decided to give them a shot in my home kitchen, and failed a time or two. As someone who doesn’t give up until it’s been mastered, I’ve continued baking these finicky little pastries until their darn near perfect. I hope you follow me along on my journey to becoming a pastry chef in my Idaho kitchen.
