About Grace

When I was younger, I was constantly in the kitchen helping my mom bake. It was fun getting to play with the flour and always getting to lick the spoon. I’ve always expressed an interest in baking and now I feel that it’s the right time for me to take over. I am a college student working towards a nursing degree as well as a full-time aunt to the sweetest little kids (they might pop up in some of the posts). I’ve learned most of what I know about baking and cooking from my mom, and I am continuing to self-teach through trial and error, which means plenty of sweets to be eaten. Read more...

    I thought I saw a white candy with peppermint candy crushed up in it. It was in the shape like a candy kiss. I’ve looked all through your emails this month but have not found it! Am I in the wrong place? All of these candies look wonderful.

    Thanks,
