Hi there,
I'm Barbs
A self-taught home baker who believes the best recipes are the ones that make people happy. Welcome to my little yellow kitchen.
How it all started
I started baking about seven years ago, after moving in with my now-husband. It began as a way to pass the time, and it quickly became so much more.
Baking made me happy. It made me calm. It still makes my heart sing, and there's nothing I love more than watching someone take the first bite of something I made.
What baking means to me
It's therapeutic. It helps me slow down and think. And most of all, it's how I make people happy, especially my family.
Why a little yellow kitchen
Sunflowers and daisies mean happiness to me, and yellow means peace. It's the brightest, most uplifting color, and that's exactly how I want this kitchen to feel.
My baking style
Classics with a twist, brand-new creations I can't wait to try, and of course the timeless classics, just the way they are.
Recipes that are simple, joyful, and worth making again
No confusing steps, no list of a hundred tips, no hard-to-find ingredients. Just recipes that turn out so good, they become the only version you'll ever want to make.
A few little things about me
- I'm a completely self-taught baker.
- Before baking, I used to write poetry and short stories.
- I bake for everyone, but mostly for my family and friends.
- Some of my all-time favorite desserts: Entenmann's cakes and Jell-O with a big spoonful of whipped cream.
