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 a great baker and loved trying new recipes and we loved being the first to try them!!

It wasn't until I was a teenager That I discovered my love for cake decorating.  My first job was at an ice cream shop and the more skilled taught me how to decorate the 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!!!
