“Baking helped me feel alive and inspired as I recovered from life after law. It’s how I reconnected with family and friends, and it provided me with a unique way to help others celebrate special occasions. Now, I'm dedicated to inspiring others to find joy through the power of baking.”

Your morning story, your perfect cup—these aren't small things. They're the details that transform routine into ritual, and they'll always have my undivided attention.”
