I pride myself in running a home-based micro craft bakery that serves my community. You may be wondering, “Alex, what exactly is a craft bakery?” Well, let me tell you about it!

A craft baker is set apart by the ingredients and methods that they choose to use in their confections.

I am scrupulous with my choice of ingredients, opting for organic milk, pasture-raised eggs, real Nielsen-Massey vanilla, unbleached flour, and 100% REAL ingredients from start to finish.

I am also a huge proponent of a more traditional baking methodology. I have spent years of my life dedicated to research and much trial and error. Everything I do is from scratch. Some elements of desserts that I offer take hours to days to complete but the difference is in the taste and I always hope that my customers see the value in that.

Because of these two very important factors, I cannot compete with Wal-Mart prices. I cannot compete with the prices of other local bakers in my area. But then again, I’m not looking to compete because I am offering a product that you just don’t find in a small town. I am offering you luxury desserts made with expertise and much heart by an artist who genuinely loves her craft and her community.

And that, to me, is a craft bakery. Thank you to everyone who has supported my business because you have supported my dream and for that, I am so grateful. 💕

Calling all ACOTAR lovers! 📖💗

When I got the email to make this special birthday cake, I gasped. Then I started jumping for joy because not only is “A Court of Thorns and Roses” by the one and only SJM my favorite book series ever but this cake was for my very first customer ever, the first person to take a chance on my fledgling business! So, needless to say, this was a special cake for me! Happy Birthday, Samantha!

This cake features 3 layers of my Oreo Confection cake that has been filled with crushed Oreos and triple chocolate buttercream, with a final coat of lavender Swiss Meringue buttercream. Everything except for the bat wings is edible!

Happy Halloween! 🎃👻

I started a tradition for my son where I make a cake to match his Halloween costume each year. This year he chose to be Sam from the movie Trick r’ Treat and he actually designed this cake himself! He wanted his prized funko pop to be the star of the show so of course momma made it happen! 💕

By his request, this cake features 3 layers of chocolate fudge cake filled with Kit Kats, Hershey bars, and Reese’s, and is frosted with chocolate buttercream.
