Welcome to TRAIL BLAISE, home of the previous “Blaise the Baker”!
About Blaise Doubman: Blaise Doubman is the creator of the popular blog, “Blaise the Baker” and more currently, “TRAIL BLAISE”.

His blogs have both been known for sharing original and inspired sweet and savory recipes, cookbook reviews, “CHEW THIS!” column features, food tricks and kitchen hints.
His love of all things food, storytelling, experimentation and writing lead him to his continuing position of successful food columnist for the well known Henry County, Indiana newspaper, “The Courier-Times”, one of the oldest newspapers in the state.

Blaise published his debut cookbook, “Blaise the Baker Dessert First” in September 2016, followed two years later by his second cookbook, “Blaise the Baker Celebrates!”. Both cookbooks were a huge success, prompting sales all across the United States as well as Canada, Mexico, Africa, Japan and Australia. Each cookbook had multiple printings and sold thousands and thousands of copies. Both cookbooks entered their final printings in 2018 and are still sold in several select retail stores across the Indiana area.

His brand has been featured in several magazine publications, newspapers, podcasts and online news features, as well as being featured by Country Music Icon, Actress, Author and Food Network TV Star, Trisha Yearwood.
People connect with his recipes not only because of his personal writing style but because his recipes are familiar, comforting and nostalgic.

Blaise’s recipes are trusted, time-honored traditions that have been in his family for years. His recipes will quickly become your favorite go-to recipes.
In May of 2024, Blaise and The Courier-Times announced a new column called “CHEW THAT!” which centers on restaurant reviews and recommendations. It was also announced that Blaise’s columns, “CHEW THIS!” and “CHEW THAT!” would both start being syndicated in “The Shelbyville News”, “Frankfort Times” and “Chronicle-Tribune”, further expanding Blaise’s brand and audience reach.
In December of 2024, Blaise announced the creation of his new newsletter called, “Kitchen Witter”, where he will be sharing serious and important updates and thoughts but also sharing recipes, ideas, cookbook and food recommendations and so much more! It will become a place where those who want to connect more with Blaise on a more personal level will be able.
