CK Crew Spotlight - KellyMeet Kelly! A longtime time Cupcake Kids crew member and a jack of all trades in the kitchen. Kelly spends her week as an advertising consultant and weekends as a top chef at Cupcake Kids! At events there's no need to tell Kelly what to do because she's probably already done it. Everyone in the CK family loves Kelly for her sense of humor and her hard working yet laid back style. Check out her quirky answers to a few "favorite thing" questions below.

Food: Fish tacos and s'mores (separate of course!)
Least Favorite Food: Fake "foods" like twinkies and cheese puffs; what is that stuff?
Spice: Basil...freshly grown from my Brooklyn apartment...but wait a second, is that really a spice?! If not, change that question to favorite "herb."
Dream Cooking Partner: Thomas Keller, or...maybe Lady Gaga (less intimidating, maybe more entertaining).

CK Crew Spotlight - KateWe love Kate! From upstate to downtown, Kate is a favorite among CK Kids and Crew for her enthusiasm, humor, organization and culinary process. Always a teacher extraordinaire, Kate keeps us on our toes and laughing throughout the day. And we couldn't do her justice without mentioning that before anyone can ask, Kate is bound to offer. As a newly married domestic diva, Kate easily plays the role of mother hen among the CK Crew being sure that we're all healthy and happy. When she's not heating up the kitchen or jet-setting off to the latest exotic locale with her beau, Kate loves to spend time with her dog Penelope and go to the gym!

CK Crew Spotlight - MaddyEvery member of the CK Crew is important, but Maddy is undoubtedly the glue that holds us together. Whether she's packing up bags, leading classes, or coordinating the CK Crew, Maddy is your girl if you want the job done right. When she's not in the kitchen, Maddy spends her time working at Christie's auction house, putting her artistic flair and business savvy to good use. On her rare days off, you can probably catch Maddy going for a run or scoping out the best barbeque in NYC. As a true Texas girl at heart, Maddy loves everything and anything that has to do with the Lone Star State.

Next time you catch up with the CK crew, look for Maddy for a good high-five and advice on a down-home meal in NYC!

CK Crew Spotlight - WhitneyWhitney's the best! She loves all things Cupcake Kids: kids, food and fun. When not teaching budding chefs to cook, Whitney can be found testing recipes for her food blog, Nosh & Tell, while donning one of her many colorful aprons. While Whitney does tout that Betty Crockers Rainbow Chip frosting is the best of the best, she can whip up some great cookies, bars, cakes and even her own buttercream frosting from scratch. In addition to living in the kitchen, Whit enjoys spending time with friends or heading to the West Side Highway for a run. Originally from Nashville, Whitney is currently at NYU studying PR & Marketing for politics and of course, food!
