How do you mark five incredible years of podcasting, especially when your anniversary aligns with the summer solstice and your birthday? For me, the answer was simple: bake a spectacular white chocolate celebration cake infused with CBD butter. In this special episode of Bite Me, I take you on a reflective journey, sharing the highs and lows of creating and growing a niche podcast. We’ll also dive deep into the recipe and baking process for a cake designed to serve up to 50 guests. Oops, not what I had in mind.

As we celebrate the five-year milestone of Bite Me, I am filled with gratitude and pride. The podcast began on June 19th, 2019, and since then, it has evolved into a beloved hub for edibles enthusiasts worldwide. Reflecting on this journey, I share personal anecdotes and highlight some of the memorable moments that have shaped the show. One heartwarming story involves a fan from Australia who left a touching review. Reviews like these are not just ego-boosters; they play a crucial role in organic discoverability, especially for an independent podcast in a niche market.

Growing a niche podcast independently has its set of challenges and triumphs. One of the critical decisions I had to make was whether to stay with Buzzsprout, our podcast host. After much deliberation, I chose to stick with them, primarily because of their excellent customer service and supportive community. This decision, like many others, underscores the importance of making choices that align with your values and needs.

Now, let’s talk cake. This episode's culinary centerpiece is a white chocolate celebration cake infused with CBD butter. This cake is no ordinary dessert; it’s designed to serve up to 50 guests, making it perfect for large celebrations. The ingredients list is as impressive as the cake itself, featuring a dozen eggs, a pound of white chocolate, lemon essence, cream cheese, and butter. The recipe is detailed and somewhat challenging, but the result is a sumptuous, rich cake that’s sure to impress.

The process of making this cake was both a joy and a challenge. With a recipe that calls for large quantities of ingredients, I quickly realized that my home kitchen equipment was not up to the task. For instance, my stand mixer couldn’t handle the volume of batter, which required some improvisation. 

Infusing the cake with CBD butter adds a special twist. I opted for CBD butter to make the cake accessible to a broader audience, including those who may not consume THC. This choice also highlights the versatility of edibles and the various ways you can infuse them to suit different preferences. Whether you’re catering for a crowd or scaling down the recipe, the tips and tricks shared in this episode will help you make a delicious and impressive cake.

In conclusion, this special episode of Bite Me is a celebration of flavour, friendship, and five years of podcasting. From the creation of a decadent white chocolate celebration cake to reflections on the journey, it’s an episode brimming with insights and inspiration. Whether you’re an edibles enthusiast or a casual listener, there’s something in this episode for everyone. So, join me in celebrating this milestone and let’s make it truly unforgettable.

Thank you for being a part of this journey. Your support and engagement have made these five years possible, and I look forward to many more years of sharing recipes, stories, and laughter. Happy anniversary to Bite Me, and here’s to many more delicious episodes!
