Hi! I’m Emma.
“That girl was born with batter for blood!” I’ve chosen to view this statement as a compliment, rather than a declaration of concern for my arterial health. Nevertheless, I can’t deny that the joy of baking, and the ability to serve up that joy to others in the form of something memorably delicious, are truly and so deeply embedded into my very being that my heart might as well be pumping batter! I find a real thrill in experimenting with ingredients and inventing new and wonderful creations that bring smiles to the faces of my customers and send them eagerly back for more! (My husband and children also love serving as my volunteer taste testers!) And with only the best ingredients—like European butter, homemade jam, carefully crafted sourdough starter, and absolutely no chemical dyes or anything artificial—I am proud to produce baked goods that taste as real as they are and offer something flavorful and of the highest quality in a time saturated with cheap, fast-food-like options. I am indeed living my childhood and life-long dream, and I am so thankful to be able to share my passion with you in a way that will make your life a little sweeter and your days all the more savory!
