A Little About Me

Hey there friend, I’m Josh! Pleased to meet you.

By day, I work in marketing handling video/social. Home is Cincinnati, OH with my husband and our lil’ guy Taran (pup).

By night (not literally), I’m a baker!

I grew up with a mom who taught me the sweetness of cakes and cookies, which little did I know at the time, would slowly foster itself into a passion for baking myself.

And now I’m looking to nourish and share that love with others! What started as a passion has become something so much more—a purpose.

With over a decade of video and photography experience, I have finally found a space where I can use my skills in such ways that also bring me joy. It’s a great feeling!

Being self-taught, there is a lot of trial and error in the process for me. Which, truthfully, I’ve come to appreciate! I strive for perfection with most things in my life, almost to a fault. With baking, I’ve come to expect and welcome the imperfections.

It should be a source of comfort and a space that we’re allowed to make mistakes. It should be fun, because guess what—it IS fun! Baking, for me, is free therapy.

I hope you stick around and make a few mistakes with me along the way.

Soggy bottoms and all.

Feel free to get in touch via email ([email protected]) if you’d like to partner up! I’ll be happy to send my media kite your way and discuss rates. Hope to hear from you soon!

– Josh

Me wondering how gay we should make pride month this year >> me deciding very 💅🏻. My focus this year is to raise awareness and hopefully funds along the way—if you’ve got any LGBTQIA+ groups/businesses you love or think I should highlight, drop them below! Local and otherwise.

I truly love this happy little space we’ve created together—a space for EVERYone, just as they are. So if love for all keeps you up at night or you’d like me to “stick to baking”—best we part ways now, because things are about to get REAL gay. 

All the love, friends! ❤️🌈

Hi hi, question—would anyone actually make a giant pop tart if I posted a recipe for one? 👀😂 Truthfully, it’s lot easier to assemble because there’s less cutting and crimping to be had—and it’s fun! Let me know and I’ll make it happen, friends. 👋🏻

This was just strawberry jam with a simple glaze and about the size of a quarter sheet!

These little flaky, golden Palmiers (spiced with cinnamon and clove) are up on the blog now, friends! 🥰 Just 4 ingredients and not a lot of your time required—much easier than you’d think. Grab some puff pastry, your fav rolling pin, a good playlist, and happy baking. 👋🏻

Included a GIF in the blog to show you how the folds should look & plan to share a reel soon to help too!

I said I was working on some staple recipes for you and I meant it! Up to my neck in buttercream (not bad, tbh)—here’s a tease of the blueberry one. 😍 It uses blueberry jam instead of freeze-dried blueberries, so no need to fuss with a food processor. 👌🏻 Not long now!

All smiles and sunshine this weekend from me (tbd thunderstorm this afternoon 😂)! Just wanted to say hey and glad you’re here, friends. Lots of new faces too—so, welcome welcome! 👋🏻

May is #mentalhealthawarenessmonth, so this is a friendly reminder to look out for yourself! Take a break if you need one (whether that means days, weeks, or even just a few hours), learn to say NO to things (commitments or social plans included), and celebrate those small wins too.

Yes, I’m all smiles this weekend, but maybe you’re not—and that’s OKAY. It’s okay to not be okay 100% of the time. Who has the mental capacity for that? I know I don’t! Shit, lol.

Deep breath in…exhale…now go bake something sweet and enjoy your weekend! Baker’s orders. 👏🏻❤️
