Hi! Nice to meet you. I’m Darrian – baker, blogger, social media specialist, and above all else, dog mom.

In summary, I’m just your average 20-something with a very expensive baking addiction. Curious to know a little more? My favorite foods can be summed up pretty simply: ice cream, frozen margaritas, and anything with pasta. Fall will always be my favorite season. I love the cool temperatures, watching the Green Bay Packers on Sundays and spending afternoons with the windows open and the ovens on.

Right now I’m living in Harrisburg, PA with my boyfriend, Zack, and our wonderful rescue puppy, Bear. I’m your typical crazy, dog mom – 90% of the pictures on my phone are of Bear and I will talk about him any chance I’m given.

When I’m not in the kitchen baking, I’m a social media specialist at an internet marketing agency called WebpageFX. Social media is a career that I’ve been passionate about since I was in college. In today’s day and age, I can’t imagine how businesses thrive without a great social plan and I love that I get to work with so many unique companies every day to help them communicate with their own customers.

As much passion as I have for my work and my family at WebpageFX, baking will always be my biggest love and therapy. When I’m having a bad day, I find myself searching for a new cookie idea. When I’m feeling a little sick, oddly enough I love to whip up a batch of banana bread or cookies. It’s my go to on the good days and the bad. I love trying to come up with fun and over-the-top recipes, but more importantly, I love sharing them with everyone. Nothing says ‘I’m thinking of you’ like an extra chocolately cupcake on your desk in the morning, am I right?
