Kellie's passion for baking has been her driving force for almost 20 years. After living in California most of her life, then in Washington state with no career direction, she decided that it was time to pursue something that she actually cared about, and not just work for the paycheck. So she enrolled in a culinary program in Portland, OR and graduated with honors in 2007.
After graduation, she began honing her skills as a baker and pastry cook in the local businesses near Portland, but with a desire to further her career near family, she moved back to California, diving head first into some of San Francisco's finer establishments. Twelve years, and two children later, as housing prices continued to soar, moving away from the Bay Area seemed the best way for her to work from home while raising her children in a safe and affordable town. Now living in the beautiful Sacramento area, her business and family are thriving!
