WELCOME TO Baked by an introvert

Where Baking Magic Happens!

Here on my site, you will find a variety of baked goods, desserts, and a few savory options. I enjoy working with my hands to create edible masterpieces. It’s amazing how you can turn simple ingredients into something that brings joy to the people around you.

I’ve always had a love for baking and cooking. There are fond memories of me helping my godmother whip up her famous watergate salad and signature potato salad.

As a teenager, I became responsible for preparing the family dinner because my mother was working second shift. This is when I discovered my passion for experimenting with food.

It wasn’t long after that when my grandma gave me my first cookbook on baking. I fell in love and wanted to make everything in it.

Even though I never bake from this book anymore, it remains a part of my collection. It sits on my bookshelf with its broken binding and tattered and stained pages as a reminder of where this passion came from.

Where do I get inspiration

I get inspiration for my recipes from all over and I really enjoy putting my own spin on classic recipes that we’ve all come to know and love. When it comes to flavor options, the possibilities are endless.
