Baste Cut Fold

Baste Cut Fold Hi, I’m Becky! I’m a professional costume designer, as well as a recipe developer and classically trained pastry chef. Hey! I'm Becky.

I love merging my design background and pastry expertise to create and share dessert recipes that look as good as they taste. I'm a Pennsylvania native and longtime resident of New York City, where I've spent the past twelve years working professionally as a costume designer and wardrobe stylist for television and theatre. I've always loved to bake, and over the years the kitchen has become my stress relief and refuge from the chaos of the entertainment industry and life in NYC. I often find myself coming home after a long day on set to whip up a batch of cookies, or chocolates, or homemade pretzels, earning myself a reputation as “the crew member who brings in the baked goods.”

In 2017 I made the decision to more seriously pursue my passion, through a combination of travel, professional training, food photography courses, and of course, a lot of eating and kitchen experimentation along the way. And yes, I chose the name “Baste Cut Fold” for this blog because each word doubles as both a sewing term and a cooking term, reflecting my two worlds–costumes and confections! Visit my website:

Banana Chocolate Chip Whoopie Pies 🍌

I love a loaf of banana bread as much as the next person, but sometimes it’s also fun to bake something a little bit different. Enter banana whoopie pies! Featuring a pair of soft, chocolate chip banana cakes with cinnamon cream cheese frosting sandwiched in between, these are my go-to for repurposing overripe bananas.

It's officially autumn, which means pumpkin spice season is right around the corner!

My homemade pumpkin spice recipe takes just five minutes to make, and adds a hint of autumn to everything from pumpkin pies and cookies to dips, caramels, and simmer pots. Stir homemade pumpkin spice into a cup of coffee, add it to oatmeal or yogurt, blend it into smoothies, or bake it into muffins for an instant hit of fall flavor.

Garlic Knots 🧄

Homemade garlic knots featuring a scratch-made bread dough, herbed garlic butter topping, and plenty of Parmesan cheese. I like to serve mine alongside pasta dishes, or as an accompaniment to salad or soup. And don’t forget the marinara sauce for dipping!
