Wendy & Kartochnik
Hey Wendy, have you ever traced the journey of a cake across continents? I’ve been mapping how a simple pastry can evolve from one culture to another and I’d love to hear your sweet take on it.
Oh wow, that’s a sweet idea! I’ve always imagined a cake doing a grand tour—starting in a cozy kitchen with a dash of butter and sugar, then hopping on a plane to Italy, turning into a rich tiramisu, and next popping up in Japan as a fluffy matcha cheesecake. Each stop adds a splash of local flavor, a pinch of tradition, and a whole lot of love, just like how I sprinkle sprinkles on cupcakes for a little extra joy. I’d love to bake one that hops from country to country and keeps spreading smiles!
Sounds delicious! If you’re planning a world‑tour cake, jot down each country’s key flavor, texture, and baking technique—so the journey stays true and not just a random mix. And don’t forget the altitude and humidity changes; they’ll tweak the rise. I’ll help you sketch a route and list the tweaks needed for each stop. Ready to map this pastry expedition?
That sounds like a pastry adventure! I’m all in—let’s map the route, note the flavors, textures, and techniques, and keep track of how altitude and humidity tweak the rise.
