I have the fondest memories of making cookies as a child with my Grandma Devoe, and rifling through my Grandpa Devoe's "secret" candy cupboard. My Grandpa Merrill always brought a giant platter of handmade candies and chocolates to Christmas Eve, and Grandma Merrill had a fondness for Orange Sticks....

I've always had an entrepreneurial spirit, and have long been trying to find the right creative outlet for myself. Making sweet things brings me a lot of joy, and also makes me nostalgic for childhood and the people I love....
