About Me

My kitchen bakes with Peanut Butter, Nuts, and Glutton. Products can be requested without these ingredients and every attempt will be made to avoid cross contamination.
How it started
My Experience
July 2008
First Cake
In July of 2008 my oldest son turned one. I decided that I was going to bake his birthday cake. It was a disaster!! While it tasted good it looked terrible. I didn't know the basics of cake decorating and it showed. But that did not stop me, instead it inspired me to learn and do better!! I started to watch videos and research how to make my bakes look better. It did not take long for me to learn what I was missing and improve my craft.
Aug 2008 - Nov 2021
My Craft Grew
Over the next 13 years I grew my craft. I would learn a new technique, find the correct tool, and practice. I found a lot of joy in decorating cakes. One day I came home to a message from an individual who wanted me to bake the cake for her son's birthday. I was over the moon but very nervous. I took on the job and soon sold a cake. From there I started to get requests. After a couple of years, I was asked to do a wedding, then another. I knew that this meant others thought my work was great. In 2017 I started to decorate sugar cookies. In 2021 I added bagels and my sought-after bread to my menu.

Open for Business
On November 6, 2021, I officially launched my cottage bakery! It has been a great adventure and I'm really glad that I made the change. By working from home I am able to spend more time with my children and was able to make my passion my career.
