Hey guys! For those that don’t know me, my name is Courtney. I am a 2012 graduate from WBHS in Chesapeake, VA. Mom of a 2 year old and fiancé to my high school sweetheart of 15+ years.

Growing up my mom always had those cool Pampered Chef parties where we got to check out neat kitchen gadgets and learn a few quick and easy recipes. Through these cookbooks I learned to love to bake.

My first job in high school was at Mrs. Fields cookies in Chesapeake Square Mall. While the cookies weren’t made at the stores, we baked and decorated them ourselves, which I loved doing. Since then I would make cookies/cookie cakes for friends and family upon request.

My 11th and 12th grade year at WBHS I took culinary arts and really learned I loved working in the kitchen. Following school I took a summer program at the Art Institute.

The Bitter Baker is a special thing to me as it is flexible with my full time job and family time. I mostly do all of the work in the evenings when my toddler is asleep so I don’t miss quality time with him. The extra income I incur from this has helped us tremendously with bills and even start a savings account. Every order is just as exciting as the first and I appreciate more than words can express how thankful I am to be apart of your special event, party or even a treat yo’self moment.
