​
The inspiration behind wanting to start the company comes from my granny Roberta L. McClanahan. Whom we unfortunately, lost to cancer seven plus years ago now. She was the oldest mother and the heart and soul of our family that kept us all connected. All my childhood memories are tied together from time well spent by her side. The early age of seven was when I was finally allowed to be in the kitchen with her. This was the perfect time as she explained it to me, so I could learn all her baking and culinary skills and retain all the knowledge and wisdom. Observing and watching how she created and prepared various delicious meals, but the most important part to me was her amazing desserts! I was always eager and intrigued to learn new techniques from her every chance I could get. My granny would always make homemade candies, cakes, pies, and cookies besides cooking full course meals for our family. I am so glad that I was able to have her share her knowledge at an incredibly young memorable age. I have continued to keep her memory alive by remembering all the things we used to bake and cook together.
My passion has continued to grow and flourish because of her being my first chef and the blessed opportunity I got to attend culinary school in Chicago right after high school. I am beyond happy I can share my varieties of cookies, cupcakes, and other custom specialty desserts with those in my community.​ There is more in store for our home based "Cottage Food Bakery" soon to be “Bakery & Cafe.” So, stay in tune and enjoy what is to come!
