“The fine arts are five in number, namely: painting, sculpture, poetry, music, and architecture, the principal branch of the latter being pastry.”

I am a writer, an artist, a consultant, a traveler, and a baker.

I began baking with my Finnish mother and my German grandmother.  Both taught me the magic of how flour, sugar, eggs, and butter can be turned into so many things.

Things like love, contentment, nostalgia, and affection.

I love words almost as much as pastry. So it makes sense to mix them together in my own sort of creative recipe.
