With Warm Welcome Baker’s Box: Austin Edition, March 2022 — That’s a wrap!
Having been a long-time fan of With Warm Welcome, the Weekly Welcome podcast, and Baker’s Box, it was such an incredible honor to get to work directly with Arnold to curate the Austin Edition of Baker’s Box!

Austin Kuih Co.’s Mesquite & Kelapa Petit Four:
For Austin Kuih Co.’s baked contribution, I created a contained, bite-sized treat that involved coconut and mesquite flour cake layers sandwiched together with a vegan miso caramel buttercream, then dipped in white chocolate fondant and sprinkled with signature lapis-legit inspired spice mix.
