Let’s Take Your Baking To The Next Level. 

You love to bake. Whether it’s a batch of chocolate chip cookies, a birthday cake, or a loaf of bread- being in the kitchen covered in flour is your happy place.

You love trying new recipes and experimenting in the kitchen. From artisanal breads to donuts to heck trying your hand at making puff pastry you can’t get enough.

You love watching the joy on someone else’s face as they take a bite out of something you created Your family and friends see you as the person when it comes to question “ who will bring dessert”. In fact, they don’t even bother asking you anymore! Because they know you will bring something sweet to end the meal with.

And it’s for that reason that you want your dessert to come out perfectly. And if it doesn’t you want to figure out why so you can get it right the next time. Baking a delicious dessert is a must for you. It’s part pride part passion. 

But you didn’t go to culinary school. You are not a pastry chef.  So not every recipe always comes out perfect. I understand, because I’ve been there.

But I believe you can have success in the kitchen every single time.

I believe you can take your baking to the next level.

And I believe with creative recipes, tips, and tricks you can learn to bake anything.

Because you are a baker.

What Others Are Saying…

“I’ve already used multiple tips you provided and found how much it makes a significant difference in my baked goods! It is so nice to know the why behind what makes a recipe great.

“Chocolate chip cookies turned out awesome!  Thank you!  They are the best I’ve ever made.”

Imagine This…

Now imagine being part of a community that shares that passion for baking as much as you do.

Here is my story 

My earliest memories are not of me baking.  You will not find some photo of me by my grandmother’s side learning how to make biscuits. My passion for baking wouldn’t really ignite until after college.  I enrolled in a baking class at a culinary school nearby for fun.  I brought home my creation and was so proud of what I made. I loved the reactions that I received from my family. From that point on, I was hooked.

Not every recipe was a success though. I took every baking class I could find. I read every cookbook on baking. I wanted to learn as much as I could on how to bake from scratch without failure. And as my knowledge and skills grew, so did my confidence. I began to tackle more difficult recipes and create my own through trial and error. 

And that’s why I believe knowing how to bake is not something you are born with. I believe baking delicious desserts from scratch can be easily learned.  It doesn’t have to be difficult. I will show you how just easy it can be.
