OUR STORY

My name is Angie. I live in Auburn . I am a full time wife and mom with a full time job.

I love to bake! Friends, families and co-workers are constantly asking me why I like to do this. I have a wonderful husband and two kids who are always full of energy. They are my motivation! I don’t have lot of time, but I make time when it’s something I enjoy.   In short, I love the baking part of baking, not just the eating.

Baking can feel a bit like putting together a magic potion. You combine a bunch of ingredients into a wet, sloppy mixture, put it in the oven, and—SHAZAM!—it’s a cupcakes! How cool is that? Very freaking cool. And it never stops feeling magical, no matter how often I do it. Yeah, bakers don’t get tired of that feeling.

When I bake, I usually make a lot. I share with families, co-workers, friends, or with someone who’s simply having a bad day…pretty much anyone who will indulge our compulsive need to make treats and give them to people. Knowing that creating something that will make other people happy is one of the warmest, fuzziest feeling there is. The fact that I get to eat some, too, is simply icing on the cupcake.

When and how I came to love baking is a mystery and honestly, I still don't have a good answer. I started baking back in 2008 and I still love it just as much, if not more today. I started by making cupcakes for my nieces and nephews birthdays.  For me, it is a good practice.  I ask my families and friends for any suggestions.  I never stop trying until it’s perfect.  My first baking experience began with my son’s 3rd birthday. I created a Mickey Mouse cake with the whole body. I was so proud of myself because it turned out really good.

Here I am today.  What started with a simple birthday cake turned into a cupcake-baking adventure?
