This episode brings together personal stories, seasonal celebrations, marriage reflections, and the creative work behind a growing baking passion.
The conversation begins with memories of fall traditions, Halloween, pumpkin-inspired foods, and a lively wedding where missed meals, uncomfortable shoes, and enthusiastic dancing became part of the story. The hosts also discuss a job transition and the challenges of brewing and bottling beer at home. Cate then reflects on her intimate COVID-era wedding, held with 34 guests in a rustic apple orchard. Despite practical obstacles involving her veil, dress, and heels, the day produced meaningful memories and plenty of humor. The newlyweds consider the possibility of a larger vow renewal while focusing on home renovations, postponed travel, friendships, and building a marriage that reflects their own priorities. The final discussion explores Cate’s custom cake business, including the labor involved in baking from scratch, developing flavors, creating detailed decorations, setting prices, and using social media to reach customers. Her approach emphasizes craftsmanship and the personal meaning that comes from designing cakes specifically for each celebration.
