Behind the Scenes
HOW IT ALL STARTED
​
I grew up with a love for baked goods, watching my mom create delicious homemade treats for my family. Very few meals ended without dessert, and everyone had their favourite treat - a chocolate chip cookie, a cinnamon bun, or a rich chocolate cake. My brother and I always fought to lick out the icing bowl on baking days.
​
When I started my own family I rediscovered this love, experimenting in the kitchen to create desserts with big flavours and colours, based on the classics I grew up loving. After the birth of my first child, I started offering a few items for sale as a way to earn a little extra money during maternity leave - and suddenly found myself with a small home-based business. At the end of my maternity leave, I made the decision to carry on with the business and pursue my passion to create special treats and desserts and share my love of baking with others.
