Hi! I'm Shani Whisonant, and I'm the Chief Butter Ambassador at Begin with Butter!
I'm a self-taught baker and I've worked for years to achieve my own baking confidence and consistency. I created the Begin with Butter Home Baking Academy in 2022 to help people overcome their biggest (and smallest!) baking challenges, and to make baking accessible and fun!
The BwB Home Baking Academy is a place where you can finally learn the skills to help you bust through all of your baking barriers so that you can be confident in the kitchen. My greatest joy is teaching others and I can't wait to bake with you!
