Over the years, I've tested and tweaked many recipes, and I have a handful that I make regularly for my family, friends, colleagues, and students. Baking connects me to those around me and enables me to give of myself. I pray while baking, which gives me peace. I pray for the people who will eat my treats, as well as for those in my life who are facing challenges. So when you ask me to make French macarons, cookies, cupcakes, or a special cake, feel free to ask me to pray for you in a special way.

I take delight in watching people smile while enjoying my creations - I love baking happiness!
