Meet Lily of Little Sweet Baker
A little bit about me………
Well, I am from Ontario, Canada where I live in a small town with my husband and 2 boys.
I am the recipe developer, writer and food photographer behind Little Sweet Baker. My husband, his co-workers and my neighbours are my taste testers and critics. My kids are my distraction and there is never a dull moment with two boys running around the house.
Baking has always been a passion of mine. It is my happy place and my creative outlet. I bake not only because I like to eat dessert, but also because I love to share what I make from the heart. I get such satisfaction when I see people enjoying what I make.
I started this blog back in January 2014, while I was on maternity leave, as a place where I could share some of my favorite recipes with friends, family and anyone who loves to bake. What started as a hobby has become a full-time dream job for me. I am so blessed to have such supportive family and friends, and such wonderful readers and followers. I am grateful for this every day.
I’ve also had the opportunity to work with amazing brand companies and associations such as Betty Crocker, Pillsbury, Ontario Apple Growers, and Dairy Farmers of Canada. My recipes have been featured on Better Homes and Gardens, The Huffington Post, Breakfast Television Toronto, and Delish.
I’ve also been a guest speaker at Food Blogger Unites and Sheridan College in which I had the opportunity to share my experience and expertise as a full-time food blogger.
Fun Facts:
- My father’s side of the family used to own a bakery and my mom’s side of the family used to own a small candy manufacturing company, so sugar runs in my blood.
- I have a Biochemistry degree. My original career goal was medical research, but once I graduated from university I decided that working in a lab was not for me.
- I’m a super girly girl. I love all things pink or sparkly, and Hello Kitty.
My goal is to create and share recipes that are easy, fun and delicious. My recipes are designed for you to feel like a master in your kitchen with very little effort, and best of all enjoy good food with friends and family. So follow along with me and let’s make life a little sweeter:)
