 My name is Kelsey! I love baking and helping folks learn new things…and this blog is the perfect combo of both passions.


I share my adventures in baking here with you, and my focus is mainly on delicious, rustic desserts.

Pies, cookies, ice cream, crisps, doughnuts, breads, and more.

I’m all about hearty, approachable, comfort food. I’m a self-taught baker, was raised on a farm (pumpkins, apples, berries, and more), and am a little no-nonsense….and that all comes across in my baking!

As a farmer, I’m always looking to the seasons for inspiration, and
my baking often follows those rhythms as well.

Apples for Fall. Citrus in Winter. Rhubarb in Spring. Berries in Summer.

Looking forward to each season’s peak flavours is always such a treat!
(However, I am ALWAYS looking forward to the next rhubarb harvest, no matter the time of year.)

And of course…I do hope you’ll stick around, try something new, and feel inspired by this space.

 Let’s bake spring Things
