I am a single mother of one child and am baking for friends and family, mostly. I've had three businesses so I am looking forward to retiring soon. I love baking and creating desserts for the fun of it. I've been offered to open my own shop, but that would take the fun out of it for me. :) My mother didn't like to bake or cook but my Grandmother was a fantastic baker. I can remember sitting on the counter watching her bake with 100 lb sacks of flour beneath my feet sitting on the floor of our kitchen. ??? Not many triumphs but a few successes. I sometimes forget ingredients and though others don't notice, I do and it makes me crazy! No one has ever turned away from a cookie or cupcake I've made. HA HA!
