So what is it?!

What’s your favorite cookie 🍪 flavor?!

Mine has always been classic chocolate chip 🫶

🍪 The plan is for “cookies” to have its own section on the upcoming menu with at least 3 varieties available weekly!

So tell me what your favorite cookie flavor or favorite sweet flavors are in general 🤔 I can get creative with this!

You tell me what sounds good 🤓🫶

For those who don’t know me already 🤓

Hi 👋. I’m Danae ☺️

I’m a mom of 3 teens & have been married for 19 years to my hubby 🥰

I’ve been obsessed with baking my entire life which led to cake decorating as I had kids.

As a kid I was on the floor preferring to read cookbooks rather than actual books. Making my dad’s favorite stove top drop cookies with mom or birthdays cakes for the family, I was there by the oven ready to make something sweet!

I began my cake decorating with a Wilton class when my second was a baby & 16 years later I’ve taken myself to all sorts of avenues with it.

What started as myself wanting to make my kids their own cupcakes for their class parties turned into a mom trying to figure out how to get my baked goods to be commercial grade that would now be allowed into classrooms 😂🙈
( they used to let you make your own treats to bring in for your birthday, who remembers?!)

I should have just given up back then but I didn’t!

I baked & learned.

I baked & decorated some more.

I dabbled in a small Etsy business online & I learned.

I baked & decorated more and kept taking on everything I could.

Every project whether it turned out or not was such a learning experience. Teaching me where to perfect skills or to manage expectations.

I finally said this was my path so I went for it.

And guess what…

I was finally in business making commercial grade sweets for my kids & my kids weren’t in elementary school anymore 😂 It didn’t matter I was making so many sweets I could barely sleep or keep up.

I was killing it as far as what I had envisioned in my mind & I had all my hopes in a row.
But as we all know; life likes to say slow back down, not yet. 🐢

So I did what I do best, I pivoted once again.
I kept baking & decorating & now I’m back here again.

I’ll never fall out of love with my baking & decorating.

I just know so much more now about myself & what I want after all these years. It’s to be home buzzing about my kitchen with my kids & family; sharing my love for baking with you to enjoy ☺️

I’m excited to share more than decorating skills with you all! I hope you’ll enjoy my recipes as much as I have over the years🥰

Update: (this is a previous post being reposted to FB thank you for your patience)

It was a super cold day here in Havasu; so I made the family some scratch jalapeno & cheddar biscuits to go with our family chili recipe ( mine😂🤫) for dinner tonight 🫶

🌶️ The kids asked for some extra kick to the flavor, so I altered my original recipe & doubled the seasoning amounts then added a chopped a jalepeno!
The jalapeno isn’t too spicy 🥵 either; it adds a nice flavor profile 🙌 ☺️

Good enough to share!! ✨ Soooo..

🤩 I’m sharing my recipe with you to see how you all enjoy it!

🙏 My hopes are to offer pre-mixed & packaged dry ingredients; ready for you to add the remaining ingredients from your pantry or refrigerator & bake 👩‍🍳

🤓 By using homemade dry mixes, it allows you to use high-quality, carefully selected ingredients, providing a superior taste & texture compared to mass-produced alternatives.

🤓 You can also enjoy the flexibility of customized flavors weekly or by adjusting some ingredients based on your personal preferences or dietary restrictions.

(For example- I eat mainly vegetarian so I substitute certain animal products)

🙌 I have many more recipes to turn into dry mixes & more! I hope you’ll benefit from them 🫶

Please DM me & tell me how your recipe went; I want to know what you did differently or how you would rate them👍👎

🥰 It brings me so much joy to finally feel ready to start this journey again.

🤓 With even more knowledge & wisdom to pass along.

🧁 Baking is part of my heart & my heart is empty without it. Not that I ever stopped baking but I did take time off for myself & family.

🫶 Truth of the matter is I’m a people pleaser & I was being pulled in every direction & needed to refocus. During that time I’ve been able to try new recipes, had new life experiences & have found new innovative ways to share that with you. ✨

🙈 Oh did I mention that I’m turning 40 this year🥳 & I’m stubborn as can be; I just won’t stop! So I Pivot! 🙌

🪄In the next weeks you’ll see rebranded content, posts removed & new content posted.

I’ll now be focusing solely on baking & decorating from my home kitchen. This means that I am a licensed cottage baker 👩‍🍳 Meaning, I follow all Mojave & AZ home health regulations & this allows me to make available to you certain baked goodies & treats!

🤩 Thus the idea of a “porch-side” pick up; “Danae’s Sugar Shelf” for the community to enjoy!

Think “speak-easy” or “pop up”🙌

🚙 Allowing you to drive up, make your selection/s, pay for items & off you go! (No, in-person interactions needed)

⏰ Each week I’ll post and go live with recipes and decorating ideas along with what will be available when the Sugar Shelf is open! ✨

🤗 I’m ready to bake you happy & I hope you’ll enjoy baking with me!

I didn’t have a fb page connected at first and everything was being loaded to my personal account so I figured I would help streamline for you all a bit more 🫶😂🙌 patience I’m not the best with tech! I promise we’ll make it through this though 🤓👍
