Baking Tradition and Wellness with Cookie Artist Danielle Blake

In the bustling heart of the San Fernando Valley, a delightful event is about to take place. On the weekend of October 22nd, BakeCamp LA Weekend 3 is bringing together baking enthusiasts from all around. Among the talented bakers, there's one name that stands out: Danielle Blake. She will be sharing a cherished family recipe at this exciting event, the Butterscotch Cookies, which have a heartwarming story to tell.

The Butterscotch Connection

Danielle's Butterscotch Cookies are a testament to the enduring power of family traditions. These delectable treats have been passed down through generations, originating from her great grandmother, Lois Schlegenhauf, who was not only a phenomenal cook but also a dedicated sustainable farmer. The recipe encapsulates the essence of love, care, and the warm flavors that have been shared across time.

"I remember baking these cookies with my grandma Lois as a child before every big holiday. We always made a dessert, and she never failed to give me the first delicious bite. It's a memory that fills my heart with joy," Danielle recalls, her eyes sparkling with nostalgia.

As Danielle prepares to showcase this family gem at BakeCamp LA, she not only carries on the legacy of her great grandmother but also embodies a wellness-focused approach to life. Danielle is the brains and heart behind "Rooted In Wellness 4Life," where she dons many hats – from being a wellness coach to a certified yoga and meditation expert. Her mission is to inspire, motivate, and guide individuals towards a healthier and more balanced life.

Baking for Wellness

For Danielle, baking isn't just about indulgence; it's also about promoting wellness. She believes that physical, mental, and emotional well-being are intrinsically connected, and that a healthy lifestyle encompasses all three aspects.

"I want to help people achieve a healthier life, not just physically, but mentally and emotionally as well. Baking can be a therapeutic practice, and by sharing this recipe, I hope to bring a little bit of joy and well-being to others," she shares.

Favorite Cookie Moments

Danielle's passion for baking extends beyond her great grandmother's recipe. When asked about her favorite cookies, she smiles and confesses, "I love a soft cookie with warm flavors, such as cinnamon sugar cookies or peanut butter cookies fresh from the oven. There's something magical about the scent that fills the kitchen, and those first bites – they're a kind of love language."

Danielle's best cookie advice? "Follow your gut and trust in the science of cooking. The best experiments are happy accidents just waiting to be discovered."
