Hi, I'm Kristin! My curiosity in the kitchen grew from a young age, and I have always enjoyed teaching myself the science and techniques behind baking in my free time. Starting with recipe books, after many trials and taste tests (my husband was happy to help with this), I have forged what I consider to be my "just right" recipes. The not too sweet, but just sweet enough, perfectly crumbly texture, melt in your mouth kind of recipes. I created Joyful Bakes for one simple reason: to spread joy through baked goods. So, join me in making a positive impact on the world, one goodie at a time.
