Joy the Baker 

I’m Joy. I’m a baker. Had you guessed as much?

I’m currently taking on my twenties, trying to show the world, and my kitchen, what’s what.

I live in Los Angeles. That’s where I do a majority of my living, working, eating, cocktailing and related horsing around.

I’m a self taught/ family taught/ taste buds taught baker.

I grew up in the kitchen in between my father, who has a love for all things pie, and my mother, who is one mighty fine cake decorator. Between my kitchen loving parents, the clinking cake pans, and the flying flour, it became clear that baking is in my blood.

Black and White Cookies 

I also really like brownies… and cookies.. and anything with the word ‘cake’ in the title… and apple pie.  What better way to get to eat all of these goodies, then to learn how to bake them!?

This blog is proof that I’m navigating my way through the world.  You’ll get a little bit about life, a healthy heap of love, cookies, cakes and creams.  Together we’ll figure out how they all come together to create one incredibly sweet life.

Hello, Candy 

I shoot using a Canon Rebel XSi with a 100mm macro lens.  I know what you’re thinking…. that’s a nice lens!  Yes…. it is.  It really is.  

I use natural light.  Why?  Because I love to bake and shoot in the morning, and my life works out pretty well that way.

The blog is powered by Wordpress, an unbelievable amount of granulated sugar, and a sometimes unreasonable desire to share with you all of my kitchen happenings.  

Stay a while, won’t you?
