Bake Love to me

Hi, I’m Sara — founder of Bake Love to Me, aka The Bougie Baker.I started in the kitchen long before I ever imagined it would become my career. Food became healing for me during one of the hardest periods of my life. After years of severe health struggles, burnout, chronic inflammation, hormonal issues, and rebuilding my relationship with my body, I began learning how to cook and bake in a way that made me feel good again.What started as survival turned into passion… and eventually into purpose.Today, I create everything from sourdough and elevated comfort food to luxury cakes, brownies, cake decorating experiences, and private chef menus. I love both sides of the kitchen — the nourishing, from-scratch side *and* the over-the-top celebratory side. Sometimes that means organic sourdough and naturally sweetened recipes, and sometimes it means buttercream, cake pops, and a little edible glitter chaos. I believe food should feel joyful, beautiful, delicious, and memorable.Teaching became a natural extension of that passion because I genuinely love helping people feel confident in the kitchen. Watching someone realize they *can* bake sourdough, decorate a gorgeous cake, or create something they’re proud of is one of my favorite parts of what I do.Over the years I’ve built Bake Love to Me into a luxury-meets-wellness brand offering baked goods, private chef experiences, pop-ups, and interactive classes. My style blends elevated technique with warmth, personality, and a lot of fun — because I don’t believe learning has to feel stiff or overly serious.Something a lot of people don’t know about me is that before fully stepping into food professionally, I was originally on the path to becoming a psychologist. That background still shapes the way I teach today — I care deeply about helping people feel safe, empowered, creative, and connected through food.Whether we’re baking sourdough, decorating cakes, or sharing a meal together, my goal is always the same: create an experience that feels elevated, welcoming, confidence-building, and genuinely fun.Welcome to The Bougie Baker’s Bread Club… let’s bake some love!
