👋 Let’s put a face to the flour.
If you’ve been following along, you already know how much I love turning sugar, butter, and icing into cookies that are as delicious as they are beautiful.
If you’re new here — a huge welcome! I’m Kim, the hands, heart, and creative mind behind Kim’s Bakehouse.
A few quick facts about me:
✨ My baking journey: Over 10 years ago, after baking for my family for years, my husband suggested I start selling my creations. As a kid in Australia, my sister and I would pore over The Australian Women’s Weekly Birthday Cake Book, picking out the most elaborate cakes for our birthdays. No matter how complex, Mum always made it happen. I wanted to create that same magic for my own kids. I started with cakes, but quickly fell in love with decorating sugar cookies after watching talented artists online. My very first order was for a local middle school graduation. They weren’t perfect… but the journey had begun.
✨ My favorite part: A lot of people ask if I love the baking. Honestly? It’s probably my least favorite part! I’m always happiest once the dough is made, cookies are baked, and icing is mixed — because then I get to do what I really love: decorating. A close second is designing and packaging. As a lifelong stationery lover, creating pretty boxes and thoughtful details is pure joy.
✨ When I’m not baking: You’ll find me with my husband and our three kids. We love exploring National Parks and traveling to new places. (You can probably hear the Australian in my voice!) We’ve lived in the US since 2013 and have visited 45 out of 50 states so far. When we’re not on the road or visiting family back home, I’m playing board games with the kids, tackling big puzzles on snow days, or experimenting with watercolors.
I’m so incredibly grateful to every one of you who lets me be part of your biggest celebrations.
