My philosophy is, "enjoy every morsel of your day." Life is fun, and your desserts should be too. There is no secret to it, I enjoy baking these works of art as much as you'll love eating them. Hence the site's domain name, "baking a living". My reputation for quality ingredients, creativity and hospitality have allowed me to now venture into doing something I love full-time, and you can taste these qualities in every bite.
My domestic bakery features:
Custom cakes
Cupcakes
Cake pops & Bon bons
Designer and traditional
Cookies
Bars & Brownies
Kolaches
Cheesecakes (my most sought after item - these are my grandmother's recipes - delicious.)
and of course, Pies!
