This blog is about the dream of owning a bakery, the white hot pursuit of "great" and all the lessons learned along the way. If you want to read about how I sached around the kitchen in heels with a baby on my hip, whipped up masterpieces and money started flowing in the doors, this blog is not for you. This is my story about the blood, sweat and many-many tears it took to keep the everyday nightmares out of my dream come true.

The Beginning

Let's start at the beginning.
I spent my entire pregnancy indulging my new baking hobby. Then it happened.
What would make a mostly sane woman decide to sacrifice her entire future, family and financial security for a dream? Love. I fell in love and my entire world began to revolve around a dream. The dream grew into a white hot desire to build something, something great, something of my own.
So, with absolutely no training, no experience and no money I embarked on one of the greatest adventures of my life. Armed with the internet as my professor and my little baby girl in her bouncy seat I jumped in ......the deep end.
