✔️ This Course is Totally for You if…

😩 You follow every step perfectly—but your bakes still flop.
When things go wrong, you’re stuck wondering what happened… and even more confused about how to fix it.

🌀 You’ve gone deep into the Google rabbit hole.
Trying to figure out why your cream split or why your macarons cracked—only to find five different answers and zero real clarity.

🎥 You’ve binged free tutorials, but they only left you spinning.
Everyone online seems to say something different, and nothing seems to work quite right in your kitchen.

💸 You’ve invested in classes that looked amazing—but felt impossible at home.
Those pro kitchens and tools made everything look easy… but you’re working with a home oven and a hand mixer. This course shows you how to master techniques in your space, with your tools, and still get pro-level results.

🎯 You’re ready to bake with clarity, creativity, and confidence.
You dream of making stunning desserts that actually work—for birthdays, holidays, or maybe even a side hustle. You don’t just want pretty results—you want to understand how to make them happen again and again.

👩‍🍳 Bake SMARTER, Not Harder: What You’ll Learn

 

This course is designed to take you from a frustrated, confused home baker to a confident, technique-driven creator.

Whether you’re struggling with inconsistent results, wasted ingredients, or just feeling overwhelmed by conflicting advice, you’ll finally get clear answers, backed by science and experience, and hands-on skills to bake with ease and make your kitchen fun again.

Here’s What You’ll Master:

🛠️ Set Up for Success
Learn how to make the most of your space, streamline your process, and get results with the tools you already have—no fancy gadgets required.

🧠 Baking Foundations & Ingredient Science
Understand how (and why) ingredients behave the way they do, how precision impacts your final product, and how to adapt for your unique situation.

🗂️ Recipe Reading & Project Planning
Learn how understand a recipe like a pro—spot red flags, break down timelines, and plan your bakes around real life (not some ideal kitchen scenario). No more mid-recipe surprises or last-minute scrambles.

🥣 Method-Based Baking That Makes Sense
Forget blindly following recipes. You’ll learn to recognize the core techniques behind the bake—so you understand what’s happening, why it matters, and how to get consistent, professional-quality results no matter the recipe.

🧯 Troubleshooting Without Tears
When something goes wrong (and it will—we’re human), you’ll know exactly how to pivot, recover, and learn from it. Less waste, more wins.

🎨 Creative Freedom & Recipe Adaptation
Go beyond copying. Start adapting, experimenting, and creating bakes that reflect your taste, your style, and your skill—with total confidence.

🤔 Who the Heck Is This Lady, and Why Should I Pay Her to Teach Me Stuff?

Fair question.

🏡➡️👩‍🍳 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 Bleu—so clearly, greatness was inevitable. 🔮😉)

✨ I’ve worked in some of Colorado’s most renowned kitchens.
From the world-famous Stanley Hotel to the iconic Dushanbe Teahouse, I’ve created high-level pastry for luxury weddings, major events, and even Division I athletes. I’ve also run my own custom cookie business—right from a home kitchen just like yours.

👩‍🍳➡️🏡 But I teach what actually works at home.
Life threw me curveballs—COVID, the Marshall Fire—and I had to adapt everything I learned in professional kitchens to real-life, imperfect spaces. Rental kitchens, borrowed ovens, makeshift setups—I made it work, and I’ll teach you how to do the same. This course is built for your kitchen, not a picture-perfect studio.

⚡ I’m all about smart, efficient baking.
If it doesn’t make a real difference, we skip it. If it’s just a trendy tool, we don’t 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 full—and you deserve a baking process that fits into your life, not the other way around.

📣 I care deeply about your success.
This isn’t just a course to me—it’s a community. I’ll be your pastry bestie, your cheerleader, and your problem-solving partner. Whether you’re celebrating a bake that went beautifully or bouncing back from one that didn’t, I’m here to help you keep growing (like a well-fed sourdough starter).

😵‍💫 I’ve battled perfectionism—and won.
I know how discouraging it feels when your bake doesn’t match your vision. I also know the freedom that comes when you let go of perfection and embrace progress. I’ll help you build skills and mindset, so baking becomes joyful again.

I’ve whisked through the struggles, sifted out the grit, and taken plenty of lumps—so you don’t have to. If you’re 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, I’m here to help you bring it all to life. 🍰👏✨

🎉 Ready to Stop Second-Guessing and Start Baking Like You Know You Can?

You’re not new to baking—you’ve baked your fair share of cookies, cakes, and maybe even dabbled in pastry.

But you’re still stuck following recipes, hoping for the best.
When something flops? You’re not sure why.
And when you try to troubleshoot? It’s a swirl of Google tabs and conflicting advice. 😵‍💫

It’s time to bake with purpose—not just hope.

✔️ Learn the professional methods behind consistent results—adapted for your home kitchen.
✔️ Get live coaching, honest feedback, and direct answers to your “why didn’t this work?!” moments.
✔️ Stop wasting ingredients—and stop letting failed bakes shake your confidence.
✔️ Feel proud of what you create—and actually enjoy the process from start to finish.

🔥 Join during presale and unlock an exclusive bonus future students won’t get—FREE 1:1 Chefing Calls.

✨ You’re not “just” a home baker. You’re a passionate creator ready to level up.
This is your moment. Let’s do it—together. 🍰👏
