Story behind the baker--

Good Morning Foodies, family, and/ or friends,

The name is Jessica--
Busy, workaholic and fun loving girl-- Always trying something new
Below are a few of my friends-- I spend alot of my time with these 3 gentleman-- You will hear me refer to them a lot :)-- Joey, Logan, and Casey-- they are usually my guinea pigs--

I have a hearty obsession with my nephew, baking/cooking, vinyl records, and my dog.

Starting from an early age, I loved being in the kitchen. My grandma Vicki was the one who really showed me the ropes on baking. My parents were divorced when I was pretty young. My mom moved out of state which left my dad a single father to 2 kids under the age of 10.

After school we would ride the bus to my grandmas house and thats where all the lessons came from.
Before my dad met my now step mom, I was the one who did the cooking for our little 3 member family. It usually ended up being macaroni and cheese, corn dogs, spaghetti, chicken nuggets, and ect. My brother was a very picky eater when he was young!

My dad has been such a trooper with my experiments :)

One time in particular I was about 14 years old and i was going to make a Loaded baked potato soup
Needless to say I burnt it a little and I tried to "doctor" it up-- I added Liquid smoke and kept adding spices and ect to it.. It was nottttt goood! But he sat down and still ate a bowl of it and told me how good it was, Even though I knew it wasnt.. :)


My goal in life is to do what I love--
I want to love to work-- Not work to live


The best part of baking and cooking is to watch the person take the first bite, see their eyes light up and they fall in love with food.

As in the words of my friend Jordan "You made me a believer!" - after taking a bite of her Red Velvet Cheesecake.

Everytime I deliver a sweet treat to someone- I make them either take a picture of themselves taking that first bite and I make a photo collage-- Its something a little different but its kind of fun :) This is something that was just recently started-- Thanks to my friend Toni- She kind of inspired me!

My goal is to get a legitimate business going--
I want to own my own cupcake bakery
Selling cupcakes, beer, and small lunches/dinners

My age group I think it would target is  between 20's- late 30's

Right now I am baking for friends and family for fun
I sell them to people who ask--
In May I have an order for a couple graduations
1 in particular needs over 300 cupcakes! YIKESSS going to be a challange but im excited :)

This coming farmers market I would love to start selling them at a booth

Its my passion and first love--

Next time: I will share a recipe and How-to's for my favorite recipe :)
