đ¤ Who the Heck Is This Lady, and Why Should I Pay Her to Teach Me Stuff?
Fair question.
đĄâĄď¸đŠâđł I started where you are.
I spent 20 years as a passionate home baker before going pro in my 30s. (Fun fact: I was the same age as Julia Child when she went to Le Cordon Bleuâso clearly, greatness was inevitable. đŽđ)
⨠Iâve worked in some of Coloradoâs most renowned kitchens.
From the world-famous Stanley Hotel to the iconic Dushanbe Teahouse, Iâve created high-level pastry for luxury weddings, major events, and even Division I athletes. Iâve also run my own custom cookie businessâright from a home kitchen just like yours.
đŠâđłâĄď¸đĄ But I teach what actually works at home.
Life threw me curveballsâCOVID, the Marshall Fireâand I had to adapt everything I learned in professional kitchens to real-life, imperfect spaces. Rental kitchens, borrowed ovens, makeshift setupsâI made it work, and Iâll teach you how to do the same. This course is built for your kitchen, not a picture-perfect studio.
⥠Iâm all about smart, efficient baking.
If it doesnât make a real difference, we skip it. If itâs just a trendy tool, we donât buy it. I teach you what matters, why it works, and how to get the best results without wasting time or energy. Because life is fullâand you deserve a baking process that fits into your life, not the other way around.
đŁ I care deeply about your success.
This isnât just a course to meâitâs a community. Iâll be your pastry bestie, your cheerleader, and your problem-solving partner. Whether youâre celebrating a bake that went beautifully or bouncing back from one that didnât, Iâm here to help you keep growing (like a well-fed sourdough starter).
đľâđŤ Iâve battled perfectionismâand won.
I know how discouraging it feels when your bake doesnât match your vision. I also know the freedom that comes when you let go of perfection and embrace progress. Iâll help you build skills and mindset, so baking becomes joyful again.
Iâve whisked through the struggles, sifted out the grit, and taken plenty of lumpsâso you donât have to. If youâre ready to understand the why behind your bakes, express your creativity with confidence, and share meaningful moments (and unforgettable desserts) with the people you love, Iâm here to help you bring it all to life. đ°đâ¨


đ Ready to Stop Second-Guessing and Start Baking Like You Know You Can?
Youâre not new to bakingâyouâve baked your fair share of cookies, cakes, and maybe even dabbled in pastry.

Itâs time to bake with purposeânot just hope.
âď¸ Learn the professional methods behind consistent resultsâadapted for your home kitchen.
âď¸ Get live coaching, honest feedback, and direct answers to your âwhy didnât this work?!â moments.
