I started this as an outlet for my mental health...baking calms me and genuinely puts me in a better mood all the time!!! I love making new things and things people haven't seen yet!!! I wake up every day to fill all and any orders knowing I'm leaving something to my children someday!!! Hoping they will never know the struggles I have and give them a little peace of mind after I'm gone.

My biggest accomplishment is starting this business while overcoming many mental health struggles!!! It keeps me going and getting up every day even on the darkest of days!!!
