“you said love me
but only in shadows

so i became one

a sugar veil
a bleeding petal
a ghost
still sweet on your tongue

the cake remembers
every whisper
every knife

even ghosts
want to be tasted
one last time“—AJM

Born in the heart of Lancaster County, the whoopie pie carries the warmth of Pennsylvania Dutch kitchens, where frugality met sweetness and stories rose with the scent of cocoa.

Amish women once spooned leftover cake batter onto baking sheets, sandwiched it with creamy filling, and tucked the treats into lunch pails. When farmers found them, they’d shout, “Whoopie!” and a legend was born.

While Maine and Massachusetts still claim their slice of the story, Lancaster remains the soul of it, a place where the humble pie became heritage. There’s even a local Whoopie Pie Festival celebrating the hundreds of ways this little cake has evolved.

My version?
Pure Folk & Flora, nostalgic, tender, and entirely plant-based.

🍂 A reawakening of old Pennsylvania recipes through plants, folklore, and memory.
Folk & Flora arrives late November. 🌿

🎬 “Vegan Villain: Culinary Crimes & Pumpkin Dreams” — A The Sweet Botanist Tale

[low thunder, violin hum]
1790, they said the Headless Horseman rode through Sleepy Hollow,
hunting Ichabod Crane under a blood red moon.

His horse, Gunpowder, was the fastest in the valley, a beast born of Dutch superstition and bad decisions.

But centuries later… he found me.

I was baking pies. He was starving.
So I took the pumpkin. “His pumpkin.”
Turned legend into dessert.

Now Gunpowder lives here, retired, reformed, and my new bestie.

He guards the kitchen.
And I?
I bake with the head of my enemies (vegan enemies, of course) 😜

Coming soon to a haunted oven near you ✨

P.S— Don’t forget to donate to your local animal shelters & farm sanctuaries 🧡

🎬 “Baking Legends: The Headless Edition” — A The Sweet Botanist Tale

In a kitchen… she bakes.
Outside… a legend horrified.

The Headless Horseman wants his head back.
She wants pumpkin pie.

He’s frantic. 🙄
She’s sprinkling cinnamon.
Guess who wins?🪄

This Halloween… don’t get in her way. ☠️

Some say her secret ingredient can’t be found in just any garden… ✨

Holiday menus coming soon 🧡

roses bleeding sweetness berries pressed like bruises

✨Inspired by the untamed beauty of petals that thrive where they please, this floral cake series celebrates resilience, tenderness, and the quiet magic of being enough, even outside the garden’s gate. 🌻🌺🌸🪻🌹🌼

“the wildflower rises
where soil forgets its name
in the ditch,
between stones,
at the edge of silence.

they whisper w**d
as if persistence were shameful,
as if beauty could only live
inside a garden’s walls.

but see how the petals lean
toward any scrap of sun,
how roots braid themselves
into the rough earth,
an old hymn of survival.

to be untended,
to be free,
is its own kind of holy.”-AJM
