Hey! I’m Jenna Lyn. I’ve wanted to be like Martha Stewart for as long as I can remember…you know, minus the jail time. My childhood was consumed with basically anything that involved crafting and baking. Around Christmas time, my mother and I would open our makeshift bakery to whip up treats for everyone we knew. And I mean everyone… the mailman, the janitor at the elementary school, and even the kid who used to bag her groceries.

My artistic side took me in a different direction and I have spent the last decade as a professional travel and lifestyle photographer. With that, I’ve been fortunate enough to travel the world. Oddly, it has inspired me in baking more than I could have ever imagined. I’ve been able to taste local desserts (and boy, do I try EVERYTHING… calories don’t count when you’re away from home!) from nearly every continent on the planet, and over 100 countries. I’ve been inspired by a range of flavors, unique ingredients, and alternate baking styles from what we're accustomed to here in the states.

 

But after each trip, I always love coming home to bake in my kitchen. It was a way for me to unwind, and get creative. I loved learning, and going to baking classes. I am proud to say I am completely self-taught mostly by the school of YouTube. My friends and family benefited from my excessive baking as I was making more than my husband or I could healthily consume. Then one day a coworker had asked if she could order a custom dessert table for her daughter’s birthday. That event was a major success and before I knew it I was getting orders from other moms and decided to give this whole baking thing a real go. Since then I have had the pleasure of doing some pretty crazy projects and events and have even had the privilege of doing some celebrity cakes as well. Who knew what started as a simple hobby and an addiction to sugar would lead to a full-blown business. Now you can almost always find me in the kitchen, with a crazy colored topknot on my head, and powdered sugar on my apron and I couldn’t be more grateful it all panned out this way.
