Hi, I'm Melanie Marie Dickens. I've enjoyed baking all of my life but after being Diagnosed with a chronic pain disorder, RSD, in 2010 I began baking more to cope with my pain. after starting small with store-bought mixes began to take on increasingly difficult recipes. From lemon meringue pie, chocolate and vanilla butter cream, red velvet cake, to snickerdoodles, "apple planets", and pumpkin muffins all from scratch. Baking is my passion and I want to share it with you!
