I'm a writer, baker, and entrepreneur. I've been baking most of my life, learning from my mother and grandmother and also attending culinary school briefly. I love the precision of measurements, the feel of kneading dough, and the mystery of creating a new flavor of pie filling.

I run a small business by the name of Cutie Pies Bakery, where I mostly bake hand pies and make different types of candy (like the ever popular Apple Cider Salted Caramels that were a hit last holiday season), as well as cookies, muffins, and a variety of other goods. I would eventually like to sell my products to coffee shops and eventually branch out into opening my own bakery in the future.

I've spent many years and many long hours in the kitchen to perfect my skills and learn new recipes. I hope to use those skills to teach people that baking isn't nearly as scary as most people seem to think it is. You can wow your family, co-workers, and friends with your homemade pies for Thanksgiving or by bringing a tray of Apple Cider Carames stuffed Snickerdoodles to your next office party. There's no reason that you have to buy these items premade at a store and let someone else take the credit. Anyone can bake, it just takes practice, attention to detail, and guidance to get the steps right.

Cooking is an art, baking is a science. I can teach you to follow the right steps to get from a pile of ingredients to a delicious dessert.
