My Story
Once upon a time, in a land far, far away…juuuuuust kidding.
Hello! I am Brioni (pronounced Bree-ah-nee) and I am a self-taught baker from Chicago, who believes that food is spiritual and transformative. If you’ve never taken a bite of something and felt it deep in your soul and had it change you, you are not having the right experience with food. This energy is what I pour into every cake jar and every treat I make and it’s a gift I love to give.
My journey began when 7 year old me decided to take her favorite food (PB&J at the time) and turn it into a cake. Little did I know I was lighting a spark that would turn into a full on burning flame by junior high. Now, was that cake a complete and total disaster? Absolutely. I had not yet learned that baking isn’t just throwing a bunch of stuff in a bowl, mixing it up, and putting it in a 350 degree oven for 25 minutes. However, instead of turning in my apron, I started going through my mom’s recipe books and would bake every cookie and cake we had ingredients for. I was on a mission for deliciousness.
About 13 years ago, I started to give myself some credit for actually being good at baking and started selling cupcakes. However, life was life and my run with that was short lived. While I never lost the passion for it, I lost the time to do it. I was a working, single mom who had children to take care of and cupcakes were not going to pay the bills. I have never been so wrong. Translation, I let fear keep me locked into an unfulfilling career.
A little over a year ago, I decided to tap back into it and as fate would have it, I was put in a position to actually pursue this dream…for real this time. So, here I am. Ready to create the yummiest treats and transform you, one perfect bite at a time.
