The secret to clean piping? Your chocolate has to be just right — not too thick, not too runny.

If it’s too warm, it runs everywhere. Too cool, and it clumps up mid-pipe. I let mine sit for just a minute after melting so it flows smoothly but holds its shape. That’s how you get crisp, readable names every time.

Graduation season is HERE and these diploma pretzels are flying out of my kitchen! 🎓🎀

Save this for the next time you’re piping names or details on chocolate treats — you’ll thank yourself later!

There’s a reason my Oreos aren’t $2. Let me show you. There’s so much more involved than just basic ingredients. Tools needed, packaging items, hidden costs like insurance, etc. Were you surprised by anything you learned? If you enjoyed this behind-the-scenes peek inside of the Small Batch Kitchen, let me know!

April nearly broke me this year.

Easter orders. Derby pop-ups. Corporate requests piling up.

My schedule was maxed out.

Then I got the email.

A local nonprofit I love asked if I’d donate again this year.

Last year, I donated AND made them a $100 basket for their fundraiser.

This year? I knew I couldn’t do both.

I sat with that for a minute.

Because here’s the thing about running a small batch business:

You can’t pour from an empty pot.

So I said no to the basket.

And yes to what mattered most — showing up for my community the way I actually could.

I made the donation. I fit it in. I made it a priority.

Not because I had the bandwidth.

Because it aligned with why I do this in the first place.

Sometimes protecting your capacity IS the gift.

Have you ever had to say no to something good so you could say yes to what mattered most? 👇

The #1 mistake beginners make with chocolate is heating it too fast and too hot. LOW and SLOW is the key. I primarily use compound chocolate or chocolate wafers in my business. They melt easily if you melt them slowly and stir often. If using a microwave, 70-80% power level and stir every 20 seconds. Chocolate can overheat easily and will seem thick and clumpy when it’s too hot. For more chocolate tips, be sure to FOLLOW ME and I’ll keep sharing.

I’m a professionally trained pastry chef. I’ve worked in hotel and fine dining kitchens. I have a culinary degree.

And I chose to run my bakery from my home kitchen.

No commercial lease. No crazy overhead. No commute.

I can bake while my daughter’s at school, be home when she gets off the bus, and still run sell-out pop-ups.

You don’t need a storefront to be a real baker.

You need a licensed space, quality products, and customers who love what you make.

Start where you are. Scale when you’re ready.”
