Hello! Goodbye.

I've got a little surprise for you (or maybe not). If you follow me on Twitter and Facebook, you won't be surprised.

I've decided to pick up this blog and move it to Wordpress. I've also decided to open a full-time baking business. Thistle.

With luck, Thistle Confections will be up and running with a new blog, an online shop, and a whole lot of sugar. It was a hard decision to rebrand my business, start a new website, and make my creative pursuits a full time gig. But I’m doing it. I’m doing it because YOU- my family, friends, and readers encouraged me. Follow me, stumbles and all, on the next big adventure of my life.

You must be asking, why Thistle?

Thistle is understated, warm, and natural. Thistle is the blending of cultures; a place where Scottish shortbread is appreciated alongside heirloom Italian cookies. Thistle is where memories and reality fuel creativity.

Thistle is not about flashy. We don’t believe in couture brownies and the next must have! ingredient. We search for the highest quality, best tasting, natural and locally sourced ingredients. We are Dayton proud. We strive to build lasting relationships with local farmers and honor their hard work in our products.

But most of all, Thistle is about taking chances. Thistle is the opportunity to grow, and grow, and grow.
