Hey new dessert bestie! My name is Kaitlyn Chatterton - but call me Kait! I'm the self-taught baker, content creator, blogger, and photographer behind Kait Bakes Cakes. Behind the scenes, I'm a stay-at-home mom to two young daughters (2 and 4) and am diving back into my passions in life as they grow. During my postpartum journey, decorating and creating cakes ended up becoming a healing outlet for me to regain my sense of self during motherhood. It's so important to me to celebrate all of life's milestones - big or small - and what better way to do that than with cake? I want to help others create pretty delicious cakes at home too - the perfect centerpiece to any celebration.

 

The creativity of decorating was my favorite, so I often focused on cake mix recipes with delicious scratch buttercream to give myself a quicker, consistent result in order to burst into creativity as soon as possible. This method can be less intimidating to newcomers and allow yourself to quickly develop confidence baking. Plus, nobody is going to know these amazing cakes start with a mix unless you tell them (trust me!). Follow along as I curate easy dessert recipes, showcase my cake designs, teach home baking tips, and share small party ideas.
