Meet Your Baker

Hi, I’m Joel Garland. Growing up, the kitchen was always full — not just with food, but with people. My mom had this magical way of making anyone who walked through our door feel at home, and I realized early on that feeding people wasn’t just about cooking; it was about connection. That idea has guided me ever since.

Working in hospitality gave me a front-row seat to the power of food — learning from chefs, listening to guests, and discovering how the right dish can spark joy, conversation, and memory. I was introduced to flavors and ingredients that I hadn’t even known existed growing up, and it hit me: everyone deserves access to food that excites them, inspires them, and nourishes them — no matter where they come from.

That belief shapes everything I bake. My treats are rooted in nostalgia but infused with curiosity and creativity. They’re honest, seasonal, and made to invite people together, to create moments that feel like home even on your very first bite. For me, baking isn’t just about flavor — it’s about sharing joy, sparking wonder, and leaving a little sweetness behind in every life I touch.
