My passion for creating food started young (baby J is just 5 in that picture). Memories of making pies with grandma and cookies with mom led to creating recipes in high school and going to culinary school for pastry. I have always gravitated towards cakes, and even after learning and enjoying the other pastry disciplines I knew “my thing” was still cakes. It’s fun to create beautiful pastries and fun flavors, but what makes cakes my favorite is working with someone to create THEIR perfect item! The flavor, the filling, the design, and the event are unique to each person, and that is something special to me.

When I discovered cake pops it quickly became another creative outlet. My first time making cake pops was actually after a big cake fail. I was making a wedding cake and put way too much filling which led to the cake falling apart. I was so frustrated I started chopping up the cake and then realized I could make cake pops to reduce the waste! I chucked the cake into a mixer and the rest is history! What a happy accident :)
