Discover Our Daily Bakes Difference

One of my favorite childhood memories is my birthday cake, made by my mom. She used a box cake, Devil's Food with Chocolate pudding in the center, frosted with chocolate. You might recognize the similarity to my current birthday cake 😉 Only now it's made from scratch 🖤 

I was born and raised in California, where Sourdough is a staple at almost every bakery and restaurant you go ~ thank you SanFran! But my actual baking story begins in 2002, it was a form of therapy for me. I had Ovarian cancer at an early age and found peace in baking. At the time I thought back to my favorite childhood memory ~ my birthday cake. I am a self-taught baker, I followed directions, searched and scoured cookbooks to see what was available (circa 2002) on the internet. From this moment it grew into a passion and I never looked back. 

From cookies and cupcakes to freshly baked bread and pastries. When I say my passion grew, I mean it. We were blessed with our son in 2011, I wanted our son to have everything freshly made for him, so I did just that. I wanted him to remember all of the baked goods I made for him when he got older. 

In 2014, my husband got out of the USAF, we settled in West Haven, CT and I started working for a gourmet food business. They specialized in poultry and other delicacies. I worked along side a CIA Chef that had many friends in the industry and soon made some of my own. I would bake things for everyone to taste, send packages to Boston or NYC for chef friends to try, one of those friends is a James Beard Awardee. I'd ask a lot of questions to make something better and retained a lot of information I didn't already know. Then I started immersing myself in our community, donated dozens of cookies over the years to non-profits for Christmas baskets that went to families. I even entered an Apple Pie contest and won 2nd Place at the West Haven Apple Festival, they no longer have the Apple Pie contest, it ended in 2018.

During COVID I would bake to pass time and started ding-dong ditching friends and neighbors by leaving baked goods to cheer them up. And so started my baking business in 2021.

When something gives you peace and you're truly passionate about it, you let it take you further. And that's just what I did.
