Melanie—Melly to her daughter—grew up in England and learned baking from her grandmother and great aunts, who viewed baking as a competitive sport, way before The Great British Baking Show was even an idea.

At any family gathering, being asked to judge whose mince tarts were the best was a tricky business. Melly had thought about using those holidays as a training ground for a political career, but alas, decided it was not to be. Instead, she chose to bake . . . and bake . . . and bake.

The recipes she learned in those chilly English kitchens had been handed down for generations simply as proportions. Her favorite “recipe,” and one she still uses, is for pie crust: “half butter to flour and water to mix.” Baking itself was learning how to transform the proportions into magic.

Now she’s sharing those baked goods with you! Everything you order will be baked specifically for you. No large batches. No pre-made dough. Baked goods baked fresh just for YOU.
