About me!  

While baking has been a lifelong passion, I don't have any prior work or formal education in baking or culinary arts.  Crazy I know!  My first 15 years out of college were spent in the Non-Profit Sector, working with foster care youth, homeless youth, the LGBTQ+ community, human trafficked victims, and victims of online exploitation.  I hold a Master's Degree in Urban Studies from the University of Nebraska, Omaha, and I still have a huge heart for this line of work.

Nevertheless, life had other plans for me during Covid-19. On top of navigating Celiac Disease, my son was diagnosed with a Congenital Heart Defect in 2020, and we underwent our first open-heart surgery.  I took a step away from my full-time job and channeled all my anxieties and negative energies into baking.  When I shared my experiments with neighbors, family, and friends, many were shocked that I could make gluten-free items taste so similar to the “real” thing.  As my skill sets developed, my wonderfully supportive friends and family members encouraged me to take the small business leap.  I've always had a passion for serving the community, particularly with under-served populations, so it all made sense in the craziest of ways.

I've always had a creative side, and I love designing and experimenting in the kitchen.  In the past two years, I went from having 5 menu options to more than 25, and taught myself how to decorate cookies and cakes with hundreds of hours spent on youtube.  

Never in a million years did I think we would be where we are today, fulfilling orders for people all throughout the Omaha area, catering weddings, and huge events, and having a reach that has spanned the wider state of Nebraska and beyond.  

Sometimes I think the best things happen when you least expect them to and sometimes the scariest things are worth taking a risk on.  I'm so very grateful for the support of this incredible GF community.  For welcoming this tiny bakery with open arms, for continuing to place orders and trusting me with your food and allowing me to fill the gap for safe GF sweets and treats.      

THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE!!!
