GET TO KNOW ME! :)

Ever since I was young, I knew that all I wanted to do was bake. Growing up, I baked in my Nan's kitchen whenever we had the chance. From box mix brownies to home made treats, we loved it all. She inspired my love of baking, and after she passed, all I wanted to do was make her proud through everything she'd taught me and dreamed of opening up my own bakery one day. I love baking for people, whether it being simple chocolate chip cookies for my little sister, or chocolate peanut butter cupcakes for my Mom, I love showing my love for people through what I can bake. Huge shout out to my Mom and Ryan for supporting me endlessly in my career and always pushing me to do what I love, I love you guys so much. One day, I decided that baking in my kitchen with my Kitchen-Aid wasn't enough, and pursued a Culinary Arts certificate through Ocean County Vocational School. Through the program, I met the most amazing people who also loved what I loved doing. It made baking even more fun for me, and my instructors only made me love it more. I'm excited to see where my senior year takes me, and can't wait to major in Pastry Arts in college. 

Now enough about baking, more about me! My name is Lillie and I'm 17 years old, with a soft spot for my family and friends. I'm a big sister of two, and I have two of the cutest orange cats (Colby and Cheddar) that you'll ever meet. I have the best parents in the world, and I have the most amazing friends. I work at this really cute diner right in the heart of Waretown, and I have awesome co-workers that I'm so grateful for. In my free time, I'm usually playing video games or hanging out with my cats. I love shopping and going on Wawa runs, and hanging out with my best friend Ani. I love and appreciate all of the people who helped me get this up and running, thank you for being my biggest inspiration.

I hope you all love and enjoy these cupcakes as much as I do baking them, and I hope these treats help bring you and your families together the way that it always has done with mine. Thank you for tagging along in this journey of mine, I'm grateful for you always. ❤️
