I know you're wondering where my business name originated from. I lost my sight in 2002 while on active duty in the Army and was medically retired. Losing my sight strengthened my purpose to never give up and carry out my vision of owning a successful business. A disability is only determination to do something differently. :)
My earliest memories of baking began at age four with myself, mom and older sister. Spending time in the kitchen with my mom had to be some of my most precious memories to date! Our love for sweets and chocolate was undeniable! On any day, our mom saw fit to have my sister and I assist her in making some of the best dark chocolate brownies I could ever imagine! We would follow recipes from a baker’s cocoa container; I knew then my love for baked goods and chocolate would be embedded in my heart forever! Throughout my teen years to adulthood and right before my mother’s passing in 2016, I was privileged enough to be by her side with our mini cooking adventures in the kitchen! I remember baking my first batch of chocolate chip cookies, tres leches cupcakes, and a homemade cherry topped cheesecake all on my own. I felt I made her very proud! I have baked on many occasions, especially during the holidays since my mom's passing. It helps me keep her recipes fresh and have solace for our times in the kitchen. My younger brother along with others continued to encourage me to share my baked goods with others. As a blind & retired veteran, many would see this as challenging. I saw it as a passion with an opportunity to show others in the world that just because you may be without eyesight you are surely not without a vision! In this case mine is to bake and share how sweet life can be with one slice of cake, one cookie, and one homemade hug at a time!
