💛✨ What a special couple of celebrations these have been! ✨💛

I had the absolute honor of creating these adorable 🐝 bumble bee-themed cupcakes for a precious baby shower, and just days later, putting together a beautiful dessert spread for my beautiful sister’s bridal shower! Being trusted to make sweets for such meaningful milestones is something I’ll never take for granted!!

For the bridal shower menu, I made:
🌸 Mini Almond Blossom Cake Bites
🤍 Homemade Dipped Rice Krispie Treats
🍫 S’mores Sandwiches
🥣 Puppy Chow
🍹 A refreshing signature mocktail

Every sprinkle of edible gold, every flower petal, and every little detail was placed with so much love! Watching people gather around the dessert table and celebrate life’s sweetest moments is exactly why I love what I do!💛

Thank you to everyone who continues to support Barely A Baker and trusts me to be a small part of your biggest memories. It truly means the world to me!!💕

✨ Barely A Baker is back!!✨
For the last couple months I’ve been quiet, but behind the scenes I’ve been thinking about where I want to take this little baking adventure…

If you’ve followed me for a while, you know I finished culinary school and officially became a Graduated Chef! Baking has always been my creative outlet, but moving forward I want Barely A Baker to be more than just cookies and brownies… I want it to be a place where I can experiment! Where browned butter becomes the starting point, not the secret ingredient. Where flavors get a little bolder, where classic treats get reimagined into something memorable!

My dream job has always been working in a test kitchen, developing recipes, playing with ingredients, and chasing flavors that make people stop after the first bite and go, “Wait… what is in this?”, consider this the beginning of that chapter!

Introducing: 🌙 Midnight Pistachio Cookies
-Browned butter cookie dough loaded with roasted pistachios and dark chocolate chips, finished with flaky Maldon sea salt.
Rich.
Nutty.
Sweet.
Salty.
Just a little unexpected.
Available now:
🍪🍪 2 for $12
🍪🍪🍪🍪 4 for $20

As always, thank you to everyone who’s stuck around while I’ve been quiet. I appreciate you more than you know & I can’t wait to share what’s coming next!!

Hey Besties🤍
I’ve been a little quiet over here lately… and honestly, it hasn’t felt good being away from my kitchen for so long. Baking is my happy place, my reset button, my little world of butter, sugar, and peace—and I’ve really missed it 🥺

But behind the scenes, I’ve been pouring everything I have into finishing my very last class while working full time… and wow, it has not been easy! This season has pushed me mentally and emotionally more than I expected, and I’ve definitely felt that weight. It hasn’t left a lot of room for creativity, rest, or the things that usually fill my cup…

BUT… here’s the part that makes it all worth it!!!🫶

On 4/22, I’ll be officially pinned as a Chef (still can’t believe I get to say that 😭), and on 5/3, I’ll be graduating as a degreed Chef. Every long shift, every stressful assignment, every moment of burnout has been leading to this!!!✨

And the best part? Once I cross that finish line, I finally get to come back to this—to baking, to creating, to building my business with my whole heart this summer 🤍

Thank you for sticking around while I’ve been a little MIA. I promise there are some really sweet things coming soon… ✨

Watching my sweet niece enjoy her very first birthday cake was pure magic 💗 I poured so much love into baking her smash cake and birthday treats, and seeing that big messy smile made every second in the kitchen worth it!

There is something so special about creating something with your own hands for someone you love this much. I feel incredibly blessed to have been part of her big day and to watch her dig in!🍰

Happy 1st Birthday to my tiny cowgirl 🤠 You made my heart (and that cake) melt 💕
