My first memories of baking are making cookies on a Saturday night with my Mom, so my Dad had freshly baked cookies when he got home from working an extra shift on the weekend.  I definitely got my love of baking from my Mom who was an avid baker and loved trying new recipes and we certainly loved being the first to try them!!

It wasn't until I was a teenager I discovered my love for cake decorating.  My first job was at a local ice cream shop where I was taught how to decorate ice cream cakes and I loved it! 

I never dreamt back then of a career in baking so set off to university to study business.  After university, I started working at a cookie bakery as a summer job and it turned into years of learning about baking on a larger scale, but still handmade with all yummy ingredients you would make yourself.  

Finally in October 2000 with the help and support of my parents and friends, I opened Simply Sweet and have loved what I do ever since.  I get to bake every day and I have the pleasure of meeting so many amazing people who have quickly turned from customers to friends.  I love them all!!!
