My love for baking began at a very young age when I would bake with my grandmother at Christmas making frosted sugar cookies. Time spent baking are some of my earliest memories. As I got older, I learned how to bake on my own with cake mixes and I also had fun playing with melting chocolate and molds. I would make treat bags for my friends in school for holidays and enjoyed giving them more than receiving them.
I studied Communications and Advertising at Washington State University but it wasn't until I rented my first apartment and received a KitchenAid mixer, that I rediscovered my passion for baking. During this time, a website called "Pinterest" was invented, so the possibilities were endless. Some of my favorite recipes I still use today are from Pinterest.
My baking experience is completely self taught. For several years, I would take local baking classes to learn new skills. Afterward I would put these skills to the test and blog about them. Through this process, I discovered my craft for buttercream and learned that custom made desserts are hard to come by. That is where the idea for Seatown Sweets came into fruition.
​
The name Seatown Sweets came to be as I was forming my business. I wanted a name that was identifiable with the area and that embodied the Pacific Northwest. Seatown is a play- on name for "Seattle," made popular by Sir-Mix-A-Lot ("what's up Seatown, what's UP"). And the alliteration with Sweets sealed the deal and Seatown Sweets was born.
Nothing makes me happier than baking smiles for people and sharing my desserts. That is where I get the true joy out of my business. I hope you enjoy my website and I look forward to baking for you soon.
