STARTED FROM SCRATCH

The kitchen has always been my playground. My first experience in the kitchen was with my grandmother when I was 5 years old. She taught me how to peel and slice shallots to make a variety of Vietnamese dishes.

At 8 years old, I watched Martha Stewart and was inspired to bake and my love for cooking switched to baking. I love that with a base of sugar, flour and butter, there are endless colors and textures that can be created. With my perfectionist heart, precision, and attention to detail, baking became my passion. I creamed butter and sugar by hand even after calluses formed on my hands. Thankfully my siblings pitched in and purchased my first KitchenAid stand mixer for my 15th birthday and Christmas gift.

Baking became my creative outlet and stress reliever. The hum of the mixer, the feel of the dough between my fingers, and the sweet aroma of caramelized sugar and butter that filled the house was intoxifying. I made sugar cookies every now and then, but the flavors, the consistency... something was never quite right. 

In 2018, after receiving compliments for a set of sugar cookies for my daughter's baptism, I devoted my time and energy to master sugar cookies. My obsession over reading baking articles, trying different recipes, and figuring out what works, crafted my signature sugar cookie. I began taking orders for friends and family and with their encouragement, my aspirations of starting a business formed.

In 2019, my plans to start a business were postponed as I found out I was pregnant again. Now, in March of 2020, I'm excited to finally take the leap and start my journey. Thanks so much for being here and I look forward to playing a small role in your celebrations and being your purveyor of sugar.
