Hi Baker Friends,

It's the month of love! I hope you all enjoy your Valentine's, Galentine's, or just a weekend to yourself. Are you baking something special for a loved one? Or yourself? Baking tends to be our love language around here. 🥰

February's first scoop is all about baking, sharing, and of course, sweetness. Grab your favorite sweet treat, and let's catch up!

But first. . .

To my new subscribers:

I want you to know that this newsletter is dedicated to supporting you, the home-based baker, in achieving sweet success.

Home-based bakers are an underserved & underappreciated group. With my years of experience in the Cottage Food's baking industry, I am passionate about helping you avoid some of the mistakes I made in the past and unlocking your full potential.

🧁 Bake it Forward 🧁

February is the perfect month to bake something just to give.

Cookies for a neighbor, cupcakes for a teacher, or a cake for someone who could use encouragement; these small acts of sweetness go a long way.

If you Bake It Forward this month, I’d love to see it. Share in the Facebook group or tag me on Instagram so we can celebrate together 💗

🩷 A Little Love in Every Bite 🩷

The perfect cake for celebrations (or just because).

Some cakes are made for big milestones, and some are perfect for celebrating the everyday.

This Pink Champagne Cake is light, festive, and just the right touch of sparkle for the entire month of February. Why not bake beautiful simply “just because”?
