"I don't remember a time when I didn't love to bake. As a kid I would bake chocolate cakes from scratch using the recipe on the back of the Hershey cocoa container. When I started working, I would bring desserts to work events. I made everything from Rally Squirrels made from twinkies to piecakens. This was when people first started telling me I needed to open a bakery. ?

"When my son was born in 2007, I made his birthday cake every year and loved it. I would take the day before his birthday off work and spend all day working on it. Themes included Zelda, Angry Birds and Minecraft. That ended a few years ago when he started requesting cookie cakes for his birthday instead of a spectacular mom-made masterpiece. ?

"What got me started on cookies was a cookie exchange at Crossfit St. Charles .Bringing cookies shaped like Christmas trees and Santa wasn't my style. I made cookies decorated like weights. Everyone loved them. There was another cookie exchange the following year. This time I made weightlifters, biceps, and barbells. Not only did everyone think they looked incredible, they thought they tasted great too. It was right around then I decided I was going to go for it.

"I made cookies out of my home for a few months. It wasn't long before I was doing some google searching and stumbled upon The Bakers Hub. I didn't even know a place like this existed anywhere except my imagination. They already had someone making decorated cookies but they needed someone to make pies. I had been making pies for my family's Thanksgiving for years. So I started making pies at the Bakers Hub in June. It wasn't long before I got a message with the best news ever. I could sell cookies there too! ?
