Meet Our Founder

Crumble Crate grew out of years of experimenting in my home kitchen. I started baking when I was five or six years old, and even then my favorite part was sharing what I made with my family and friends. Cakes and cookies came first. These days my favorite bake is our Key Lime Pie Choux au Craquelin: crisp French choux pastry with the sweet, tart taste of a Florida key lime pie.

I never went to culinary school. I taught myself by reading, researching and baking, one recipe at a time. If there's one thing I've learned, it's that time in front of the oven is what makes you better. Every technique you practice is one you can use on the next recipe, even one you've never tried before. You don't need a professional kitchen to become an excellent home baker. You need the right tools and resources.

Before Crumble Crate, I baked specialty orders for weddings, birthdays, baby showers and bridal showers. Now I develop and test every Crumble Crate recipe myself. Some take three trials. Some take six. And every one goes through plenty of taste testers before I'm happy with it.

As life got busier, my kitchen became the place I went to slow down. I want you to have that too: the quiet of folding a batter, and the moment you set something you made on the table for the people you love.

Every kit comes with pre-measured ingredients, step-by-step video lessons and tools you keep, so you can skip the shopping list and spend your time on the technique. The fresh things, like eggs and butter, are listed on the recipe card so you can have them ready. 10,847 bakers rate Crumble Crate 4.9/5, and I'd love for you to join them.

I can't wait to start this baking journey with you!
