A small gift for baking with me this year 🎁πŸͺ❀️


Hi Reader!

As I pack up the last few cookbooks, I just want to take a minute to say thank you. Truly. ❀️

When I first launched my cookbook, the idea of sending out 1,000 copies felt out of reach. So to look back on this year and know that you trusted me enough to bring my recipes into your kitchen means more than I can put into words.

Your support, encouragement, and excitement around the cookbook has created a new fire in me to keep creating and sharing recipes with you.

As a small thank-you, I’d love for you to enjoy my site ad-free for the next 30 days. You can use the link below to browse, bake, and print recipes without distractions.

I’ll be launching the official Crafty Bakers Club in the new year (with some fun exclusive recipes & printables!), but I wanted you, my loyal friends, to be the first to try it out (and help me find any bugs!).

If you choose to stay after the trial, you’ll unlock the full library of exclusive printables, gift tags, and creative baking ideas designed to make your baking even easier and more fun.

Curious how recipe sites actually work behind the scenes? Ads help me keep my recipes free and accessible for you (instead, the advertisers foot the bill!). But I know they can be frustrating, especially when you're baking all day, everyday for holiday baking. πŸ˜…

So please take advantage of this and enjoy a quieter baking experience.

One small favor in return. If you make a recipe this holiday season, I’d be SO grateful if you left a review, and even a photo using the new feature on the recipe post.

Seeing your bakes genuinely makes my day, and those reviews also help support my business by letting Google know which recipes to show when people are searching. With AI changing things so quickly, that support matters more than ever.

Thank you for being here and for baking along with me this year. πŸŽ„β€οΈπŸ§ˆ

Have you ever made homemade vanilla? It's surprisingly simple, more affordable than store-bought, and such a fun gift to share. 🎁 Every time I talk about my vanilla extract adventure on Instagram, the questions pour in, so I wanted to put everything in one place for you to reference. If you want to make a few bottles for Christmas gifts, you still have time. Add the β€œready on” date to the label so the recipient knows when it will be finished. It does not need to be ready by Christmas since...
