Before You Bake ♡

The Little Baking Lessons I Learned the Hard Way

Because sometimes it’s not your recipe that’s the problem.

Hey, baker bestie! 🍪🧈

Before Buttered, there was just me, a cookie cart, and a whole lot of trial and error.

I’ve wasted ingredients, ruined entire batches, and spent more money than I’d like to admit learning baking lessons I wish someone had taught me sooner.

And here’s what I discovered: sometimes the difference between a disappointing batch and a beautiful cookie comes down to the tiniest details.

So I created the guide I wish I’d had when I first started.
