Meet Blair

Hello!!

I'm Blair, the founder of BAKED by Blair, a dessert blog dedicated to sharing irresistible dessert recipes and baking resources and tips to help beginner bakers build confidence in the kitchen. BAKED by Blair shares all aspects of baking from cakes, to cupcakes, buttercream, and more. I'm so excited that you're here, and I can't wait to see what you bake up first! First, I'm going to share a little bit more about myself so you can get to know me better.

I'm a mom of 2 rambunctious little boys, I'm a physical therapist, a wife and a self-taught baker. I’ve always loved baking, but it wasn’t until I had my first son that my passion for baking kicked into overdrive. That and the fact that my pregnancy cravings were cake, and I would go broke if I bought it cake out all the time!! See, I was scared about having a baby boy. I was also scared that I would lose myself as a new mother. I grew up in a family of predominantly females. Two sisters, six female cousins, and one male cousin. So, a boy? I was honestly terrified. I took my fear of not knowing what to do or how to interact with my son and taught him my passion - baking. Now, we bake (read: he dumps ingredients on the floor) together all the time!

I hold a Masters of Physical Therapy from the University of Toronto (and still practice!) and my Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology from McGill University. Baking is about as different from physical therapy as you can get, but I love it, and I’m going to convince you that you can bake too! Get ready to feel inspired, excited, and confident that you can be the dessert person —everyone loves the dessert person at the party!
