Hi, I'm Sarah!
Welcome to my kitchen! I'm a passionate home baker who believes that the best recipes come from the heart, and every dish tells a story.
"Baking is my way of spreading joy, one recipe at a time."
My Story
My love affair with baking began in my grandmother's kitchen when I was just seven years old. I still remember the smell of her famous chocolate chip cookies and the way her face lit up when she watched me take that first bite.
What started as weekend baking sessions with Grandma Rose evolved into a lifelong passion. Through college, my first apartment, and now in my own home, baking has been my constant companion, my stress reliever, and my way of showing love to family and friends.
After years of friends begging me to share my recipes and techniques, I finally decided to create BakeryYou in 2018. What began as a simple blog has grown into a community of passionate home bakers who share my belief that good food brings people together.
My Baking Philosophy
- Every recipe should be approachable and achievable
- Baking should bring joy, not stress

- Food is meant to be shared and celebrated
