About

Take a step back to a simpler time. A time where bread and pastries were thoughtfully made by hand. Where you could enjoy the slow rhythm of a day baking and sharing what you created with those you love.

Dogwood Cottage Baking originally began in my home kitchen in Alexander, NC. After owning a bakery and then baking school, I am now back to where it all began in my home: The Dogwood Cottage!

Please follow along on social media and through newsletters for baking, beekeeping, gardening and simple living.

Purpose

I believe that baking fosters connections. Connections with ourselves, others and the earth. I believe in cultivating community through education. This is my commitment through all that I do. When you are a baker, your life is richer.

I have an apiary at the Dogwood Cottage located in Alexander, NC. I love the honeybee and supporting our eco-system by being a steward of the bees.
