Baked Love



Baked Love ❤️

Someone once asked me, "Why do you love to bake?" My answer... I bake because it brings me joy to share with others. There’s nothing like watching someone’s face light up after tasting something I’ve made. It’s how I connect with others and build community.

When I bake, I always start with a memory—a feeling. Did my knees go weak? Was I transported to my childhood? If so, that's my cue to dive in and recreate it, pouring my heart into every whisk, every fold, and bake, bake, BAKE until it’s absolutely perfect.

Where It All Began

My mom was an incredible baker. She made everything from scratch—like her famous German chocolate cake, so rich it practically melted in your mouth. The coconut pecan filling added a touch of sweet, buttery warmth that left you longing for one more bite. One time, she served us chocolate cake for breakfast. Our little faces lit up, and we were delighted by the rare occasion. Mom always wanted to make us happy. ❤️

One of my fondest memories is when I baked peanut butter cookies for my little brothers. Watching their chubby cheeks happily gobble them up filled me with so much joy. From that moment, I was hooked. Baking was in my heart.

Making Sweet Things Sweeter

Years of baking for my boys, family, and friends led me to pastry school. It was there I found my love for cookbooks and experimenting with surprising ingredients. Oh, how I love reading recipes. When I come across a recipe with a surprising ingredient, I lose it. What do you mean, add buttermilk and cream cheese to the pound cake? Two dairies?! This is crazy… but when you try the recipe… oooh baby, a new love has been found.

Secret Ingredients

Cookbooks have fueled my creativity in the kitchen. I’m always searching for secret ingredients to make my desserts unforgettable. Sour cream and buttermilk in my cornbread? It’s a game-changer—tender, rich, and tangy. Roasting pecans for my butter pecan cookies? A little salt and butter make them irresistible. These small twists are what elevate every baked good, making each bite an experience. And the real secret ingredient? It’s me.

My Cozy Vision

I’ve always dreamed of having a bakery that feels like home—a place where you can come in, sip freshly brewed coffee with a slice of my signature coffee cake, or indulge in a slice of red velvet cake with melt-in-your-mouth cream cheese frosting. My warm brownies drizzled with homemade fudge sauce? Oh, you’ve got to try those too!

Starting my bakery business allows me to become the person I have always wanted to be—a great mother, baker, host, and creator. With my boys all grown up, now is the perfect time to follow my dream and share my love of baking with you.

Sweet Moments... Made Simple

Life can get busy, but that’s where I come in. Let me take care of the baking so you can focus on what matters most—creating memories and savoring the little moments with your loved ones.

Sending you warm and cozy vibes,
