Hi! My name is Heather...
...and I love dessert!
Welcome to my world of nonpareils! I started this blog in 2009 to share my love of baking and sugar craft. I have always been fond of that sweet, usually last course of a meal, but I wasn't always a baker and dessert maker. For years, I was an aspiring painter. Most of my employed life has been spent creating fine art paintings and working in galleries for artisans of every stripe - painters, sculptors, glass blowers, illustrators, print makers, textile artists and photographers - just to name a few. I still paint, but my journey in the confectionery world has changed the relationship I have with my own creativity. I'm most fulfilled when lost in a cloud of powdered sugar, assembling desserts that are as artful as they are delicious.
What SB is about.
In short, Sprinkle Bakes is about making dessert beautiful. Here you will find a collection of recipes for all varieties of sweet treats. You'll also find tutorials, step-by-step instructions and recipes for novice bakers. I do prefer made-from-scratch recipes, but would never criticize anyone for using a box mix. I think they make nice shortcuts and do use them myself.
Sprinkle Bakes?
I love the lightheartedness of sprinkles. They are joyful, colorful, interesting, special. And concerning dessert, that's just how I like it.
