About Us

I have dreamed of owning my own business since I graduated from college in 1995, but the timing never seemed quite right. My professional life has taken me to some wonderful companies over the years, but I always felt like there was something else I was supposed to do. In February 2008, my beloved Grandmother passed away very unexpectedly and I was struggling with the loss more than I realized at the time, and I started baking like I did with her growing up to try and cope with the huge void her death left in my life. Now, we aren't talking about the occasional baking here and there, we are talking CONSTANT baking! My husband kept telling me that I should start my own business doing what I loved, and I kept telling him, "no, I work for Corporate America, that is what I am supposed to be doing", well, at the end of 2008 life threw me a curve ball and I was at a loss of what to do. In May 2009 it became clear to me that I needed to follow my dream (with a ton of encouragement from my wonderful husband, and not once did he say "I told you so!"). I have always loved anything homemade, it just has a way of bringing you back to good times and good memories. I have combined my own family recipes with those of friends and those I have collected and modified over the years to make up the delicious items you will find on our menu.
When you eat one of my cupcakes, I want you to be transported back to your own childhood in the kitchen with mom and/or grandma. I hope you will rekindle the fond memories of growing up just like I did.

Enjoy,
Nicki

My beloved Grandma, Ruth
