My Love Language

Hi - I’m Jen and I'm a cookie-holic!  During the holidays you'll find me watching hours of Food Network programming, especially the baking and cookie challenges. 

My passion for baking started in early childhood but really blossomed in 1994 when I married.  I've always loved being a homemaker, especially baking sweet treats for family and friends.  I remember one year my sister was hosting Thanksgiving and she asked me to bring a dessert.  For some reason my brain thought six desserts would be better.  The dessert table that year was almost as big as the dinner table! 

A couple of years ago I read The 5 Love Languages by Gary Chapman.  After reading the book I immediately took the online quiz. No surprise - my love language is “Acts Of Service."  The joy I get from baking something delicious and sweet is incredibly satisfying, even if it’s only to post on social media for others to enjoy. Cooking meals has always been a chore for me, but baking truly brings me joy. 

In 2015 I attended my first, in-person cookie decorating class and something “clicked.” At that moment I knew I needed to leave the Corporate world and pursue my passion for baking. My focus…custom cookies! Today, cookie baking and decorating is my full-time job, and my passion. 
​
I’d like to thank you for stopping by to learn a bit about who I am. I hope you’ll be back! 

PS  Have you met my sweet granddaughter?  This is Braelyn Claire.  She is the love of my life!!
