When I think about why I love baking so much, it always brings me back to my childhood. I was lucky to grow up in a home where trying new things in the kitchen was encouraged. While cooking never quite stuck (just ask my husband!), I naturally gravitated towards baking.
Some of my sweetest memories are of baking with my dad—experimenting with new recipes, making a mess, and laughing the whole way through. As I learned more, my confidence in the kitchen grew, and baking became a creative outlet and a true source of comfort.
