Welcome to The Joyful Baking Social Club.
I’m Alisha, a pastry chef who learned to bake beside my grandmothers, Laura and Aleize. When life got heavy, my grandmother’s answer was simple: go bake. This is a kitchen table I wish I’d had in those seasons.
A space for folx who look strong on the outside and have been quietly leaving themselves on the inside. The reliable one. The one everybody calls. Here you get to show up as you are, with flour on your hands.
What happens here:
🍰 Mondays: a story prompt to get us talking
👵🏾 Wednesdays: “My grandmother taught me…” Share a lesson from someone who loved you well
🎥 New Tell Me Over Cake episodes, where I sit down with a guest over cake
🕯 A live share-out where everyone gets time to talk or pass, and no one jumps in
📚 The Gathering Shelf: recipes, cookbooks, and resources
Start here: introduce yourself and tell us about a comfort bake you keep coming back to. Quiet folks are welcome too. You can just say “here.”
Pull up a chair.
