Hi, I’m Roshanda – baker, storyteller, and believer in second chances (both in recipes and real life).

Welcome to my little corner of the internet where flour meets feelings, and cupcakes come with life lessons. I created this blog because I believe something deeply simple and beautifully true:

Life is what you bake it.

To me, baking isn't just about measuring ingredients and watching dough rise. It’s about the process—the messy counters, the mess ups, the experiments, the patience, and the joy of sharing what you've made with someone else. Baking reminds me so much of life: unpredictable, messy, and occasionally off track… but still full of sweetness, creativity, and second chances.

Here, you’ll find more than just recipes. You’ll find reflections, encouragement, and stories—little bite-sized pieces of life wrapped in humor, honesty, and maybe some sanding sugar.

I’m a single mom who has learned that some of the best things come out of the oven and out of the most unexpected moments in life.

Whether I’m whipping up a quick dessert or writing about love, journaling, family, or faith—I want to help you find joy in the everyday and courage to keep going, even when things fall flat. Because just like in baking, sometimes the “oops” moments make the best memories.

So grab a cup of coffee, stay awhile, and let’s create something delicious—together.

Here’s to living fully, loving freely, and baking boldly.

With love & laughter,
Shanda ❤️
