About
Hi! I’m Becky. So nice to meet you! I’m guessing you’d like to know a little bit more about me. Generally speaking, I like to deflect attention. I’d just as soon the desserts steal the show. That said, I always enjoy learning more about the blogger behind the blog and I thought that that you might too!
So, without further ado, here are some facts about Becky:
~ I have a great hubby, my best friend. He supports my blog hobby even though he doesn’t care for most sweets…a tragedy right?!
~ I have four gorgeous, challenging, and wonderful kids. All under the age of 7.
~ I never get as much sleep as I would like. This might have something to do with the aforementioned children.
~ I homeschool my children. I love almost every second of it!
~ I love to bake (of course!).
~ I love to read, though like most busy moms I don’t have as much time for it as I once did.
~ I enjoy movie nights with the hubby.
~ I don’t have a favorite color…is that weird?
~ I started “nesting” during my last pregnancy and haven’t stopped since. I can’t get enough of organizing and I am always dreaming about the next project.
~ I’m an aspiring photographer. Sadly, I struggle to take as least as many photos of my kids as I do of food…I’m working on that! Incidentally, my children think it’s perfectly normal that Mommy has to take a photograph of that cookie before they eat it!
There you have it! Thanks for taking time to learn a little bit more about me. I hope you have a wonderful visit and discover some fun new recipes. You’re sure to find something scrumptious! If you are looking for some allergy friendly recipes be sure to visit my allergy friendly page. I have two boys’ with allergies and I love baking delicious treats for them as well. Happy Baking!

Wellll hello there!!
How strange – another baking Beck(y)!!
Hubby stumbled across your site while trying to get my Thesis Theme all rigged up…and here you are, another Beck(y) Bakes with a Thesis theme. Small, strange world – eh???
Thanks for the allergy free recipes! I would love to see more of those as my daughter is allergic to the same things(dairy, eggs, and peanuts/treenuts) It makes things interesting, but I love to try new recipes and look forward to following your blog!
Hi! I just stumbled upon your blog and was happy to see allergy-free recipes. We have the same allergies in our house, along with tree nuts and pineapple. It’s so great to find new (and yummy) recipes. Thanks!
Hi Becky – Am obsessing over your website / recipes… 33 weeks pregnant and I just can’t get enough! I have been searching for a delicious oatmeal chocolate chip cookie recipe… any thoughts? Many Thanks – EAK
Hi Becky!
I love all your recipes! They look great! Thanks for sharing! I have a quick question though…My friend baked your oreo stuffed chocolate chip cookies and they were amazing! I loved the taste of the chocolate chip cookie! I was wondering what the differences were between your oreo chocolate chip cookie recipe, your regular one, and the bakery style one? Which one would you choose? I am always looking for a an out of this world chocolate chip cookie recipe! The one I had with the oreo was amazing! Please let me know when you get the chance! Thanks so much!

Hi.
I happened to stumble upon your blog and I just wanted to say thank you for the inspiration that you have given to me by just having this blog. I am a young aspiring baker and I just made a tumbler to start posting pictures of my work. This is super inspirational that you are a mom and still have the time to do this! I hope to one day have a bakery of my own but i am starting slowly but surely. Thank you.

Hi Bela! I’m so glad you’re enjoying the recipes. I don’t have as much time as I’d like some days….the kiddos come first for sure! Blogging about baking is a great way for me to pursue my baking passion while still being home with the kids:-) Thanks for your comment!
All of your recipes look great! I’m not much of a baker myself, but it’s always fun to look and dream. I’ll definitely be trying the blueberry baked oatmeal, though. It is most impressive that you have time to maintain this fantastic blog while caring for and homeschooling 4 young children. You sound like quite the Super Mom!!
Hi Becky,
Just wondering where you sourced those micro mini peanut butter cups on your pie on the homepage?!?!
Thanks!
Ashley
Hi Ashley,
You can find miniature peanut butter cups in most grocery stores in the candy aisle now…they come in a cute little bag. I got mine at Target. Happy Baking!!
You’re.. brilliant.
To say this is glorious food-porn would be an understatement. Your photography evokes an authentic love for creative baking and intimacy with desserts that makes the viewer feel like a kid in their first visit to a bakery.
Thank you.
Jonathan
Very sweet Jonathan. Thank you.
Hi Becky! I have the hardest time finding a recipe for just a plain white cake and since everything that I’ve made from your website turns out fantastic I thought it would be best to ask you if you had one you’d be willing to share! I’d really appreciate it, I’m a huge fan of all of your recipes! Thanks!
Hi Becky,
Just wanted to tell you your blog is amazing, thank you so much! I love the design (your pictures are awesome!!!) and the recipes of course. Will try the egg free chocolate chip cookies tomorrow
All the best
Julie – following your blog from Germany!
Thanks so much Julie! I appreciate your kind words:-) I hope you enjoy the cookies!
I know you’re not blogging anymore but I just found your egg free chocolate chip cookie recipe and totally love it. So, I subscribed just in case I miss you again in the future!!! Happy homeschooling and congrats on #5. I’m cooking #3 and just finished the first trimester too!
Hi Becky-
My name is Gloria and I just came upon your website while researching ideas for my son’s wedding, which is just around the corner, March 23rd.
Anyway, your S’more receipt looks delightful. I was wondering if you could tell me where you purchased your shot glasses so that I may attempt your receipt. Also, if you have any ideas you may have to inspire me. My son and soon to be daughter-in-law are having a carnival wedding theme. (Go figure, not your traditional wedding). Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated.
Best Wishes,
Gloria Bruno

Hi Gloria!
I think I bought those glasses at Home Goods, not sure that helps much…their stock is always changing! As far as wedding ideas, have you tried Pinterest? You can find just about anything there:-) Congratulations on the wedding!
