I am a self-taught baker! I began baking for my children and soon it extended to more people. That's when I found my calling and started a healthy baking community, exchanging recipes with moms from around the country. It further evolved and we collectively baked for a larger community purpose - feeding the less privileged children. Continuing the conversation around healthy baking, I spoke at TEDx, became a SHEROES Champion and was a part of the Cherie Blair Foundation's Women in Business program. I am extremely passionate and driven towards creating awareness and opening up a whole new world of baking.
