Dessert Diva here!

Since I'm the one with the most blogging experience in our little group I was elected to be the first to post. We decided to start off telling you a little about ourselves so you can get to know us a bit.

Where to start? Well, I guess one of the most important things that has shaped my life is that I come from a big family. Having had that experience growing up, it helped me to be pretty independent. My Dad had a Bakery when I was small and that coupled along with a Mom who makes amazing desserts probably meant I was destined to be baker with a love of sweets. 

I'm a happily married Mom of 4.  My youngest son passed away unexpectedly 3 years ago. Through this time I've been strengthened by my faith in my Heavenly Father and his son, Jesus Christ. The past 3 years have been difficult but also a growing time for me and my family. 

This tragedy caused me to think a lot about what I wanted to be doing after my children grew up and left home. I wanted to do something that I could start now since I was ready and that would work around my schedule with school events, church callings and family duties. Not many jobs are that flexible especially since I've been out of the workforce for 16 years. 

My baking business started from that desire. This past fall I begin baking cakes. Cakes grew to Cake Pops & Cupcakes, then on to Cookies and Bars. 

It's been quite a journey, and as I approach 9 months of being a professional baker it still kinda amazes me that people like what I do, but then again with chocolate involved, what's there not to like?
