Bake Smarter, Not Harder—

Bringing Professional Techniques Home

Gumpaste Sugar Flower Peony and Eucalyptus

 Welcome to my kitchen!

Hi! 👋👩‍🍳 I'm Katie, the lady in the apron.
I’ve been baking for as long as I can remember, but I truly fell in love with it when I set out to make my daughter the most magical birthday cakes — the kind that make someone feel truly loved. 🎂💖

Instead, I got flop after flop. Endless Googling, conflicting advice, and no idea what went wrong. Sound familiar?

Everything changed when I went to pastry school 🎓 and worked in the industry, where I finally learned the real techniques behind professional baking.


Now, I’m here to bring those same techniques into your home — so you can bake with confidence and share that love through every treat you create. 🍪✨

In my workshops, I’ll teach you how to think like a pastry chef, trust your instincts, and bake smarter, not harder. Because baking isn’t about perfection — it’s about skill, creativity, and the joy of making something special for the people you love. ❤️👩‍🍳
