I've had a passion for baking since a child and picked up it after making treats for my daughter's class. While working as an Office Manager, I often found myself searching for bakers with a great product but they couldn't meet insurance requirements, had some sort of other issue or another. Over the years - I increased my skills and became the baker that I was looking for! One that specializes in ole school, down home, southern classic desserts baked for holidays and special occasions.… Show more I've had a passion for baking since a child and picked up it after making treats for my daughter's class. While working as an Office Manager, I often found myself searching for bakers with a great product but they couldn't meet insurance requirements, had some sort of other issue or another. Over the years - I increased my skills and became the baker that I was looking for! One that specializes in ole school, down home, southern classic desserts baked for holidays and special occasions. Don't get me wrong, I love the classics like banana pudding, sock it to me cake, cobblers, etc. But I also like them with a twist too...like peach cobbler pound cake, strawberry crunch cake or bourbon pralines. If you've got a craving, I've got something for that sweet tooth! Show less
