I'm Just Here for the Cake

In the midst of all this craziness, there still must be cake, and with me to share a carrot cake is Sam Strasfeld! Sam is an actor, dancer, singer, and fitness professional from Winnipeg. We get into performing, cycles and cooking. 

This is Rabbit's Carrot Cake from Fannie Farmer's Cookbook.

Today Chris and I pick up right where we left off with visiting London and move on to more about life in the theatre and fitness worlds. Enjoy!!

Chris Crowthers, MFF trainer extraordinaire, performer and Celine Dion super fan, joins me for this episode where he introduces me to Banana Cake! His favorite hails from Billy's Bakery, my recipe comes from the Fannie Farmer Cookbook. We tackle so many subjects that this is just part 1!

Fitness, performing, trusting the process, enjoying the journey and remembering there are healthy and an unhealthy reasons to cry at work. I hope you enjoy listening and stay tuned next week also where we delve even further.

We're really doing it! This episode features Ninja Unicorn and Animal Flow Trainer Mallory Hewell. We delve into imposter syndrome and life outside theatre, The US Space Center and, of course, Mark Fisher Fitness while munching on Mallory's favorite; Confetti Cake with rainbow sprinkles. 

This recipe is White Layer Cake by Stella Parks' BraveTart and Boiled White Icing from Joy of Cooking.

We're back! I'm Just Here for the Cake Season 2!

I'm kicking off season 2 a bit unconventionally, and it's definitely a good time. Illustrator, musical improvisor and neighbor of mine Annie Moor joins me for her childhood favorite Luby's Cafeteria Chocolate Icebox Pie. 

We go down a childhood rabbit hole of all memories food, it's super fun and a wonderful way to get things going for my brand new season. Hope you enjoy listening as much as we did recording!

On the season one finale I am joined by my dear friend and actor Dylon King with his favorite, pineapple upside down cake! We get nostalgic and we get into methodology and what that can mean for artistic work. 

It has been such a joy to figure this medium out and thank you to all my listeners! I will be back in January for Season 2 of I'm Just Here for the Cake!

This is a wacky one, but no one who knows Andrew David Swackhamer would be surprised to hear that. This cake is an inside joke that takes us through college, ukuleles and being better people. Such a pleasure to call this man my friend.

Magical unicorn trainer, surprise musical theatre nerd and overall delicious human being, Britta Whittenberg joins me for some tropical realness that is Hummingbird cake. We get deep into our fitness, nutrition and musical theatre journeys, essentially, it's a Mark Fisher Fitness love letter with a high five to musicals. We've only just met, but I feel like this is the start of a beautiful friendship.

Admittedly this is a bit of a love fest because Bre Short is my one of my favorite people on the planet. She does it all and we talk about it all. Dancer, singer, songwriter, dog walker and all around fabulous human, there is really nothing she can't do. We dig deep into our creative loves and how important technique is to developing anything.

Creative Director of Halleloo Creative Corey Sheppard joins me this time on I'm Just Here for the Cake for some super classic cheesecake. We chat about creativity, productivity, food and obvs cheesecake!
