About Me
Welcome to my blog! My name is Liz. I’m a baker, recipe developer, blogger, and food photographer based in Connecticut. When I’m not baking, I tend to spend time with my Bombay cat, Niko, whom I adopted. Liz Dessert Diary is my creative space to share my passion for baking and to inspire others to embrace wholesome ingredients in their desserts and pastries.
From sharing pastries with my friends, family, and colleagues, I started Liz Dessert Diary as a way to combine my passion for baking and photography. My goal is to inspire others with approachable recipes that are both creative and delicious.
Growing up, I spent my childhood watching my parents, especially my father, cook meals from scratch. While his food was flavorful, it was often high in sodium and lacked wholesome ingredients. My mother, on the other hand, enjoyed baking boxed cakes for us. These early experiences inspired me to take a different approach—creating wholesome meals and baked goods from scratch using nourishing, mindful ingredients. My father’s passion for cooking continues to inspire me to this day.
