About Me:
Meet Megan Crawford
I'm Megan, and I have a serious sweet tooth. Like, seriously serious. I'm the person who checks the dessert menu before deciding on a restaurant, and I firmly believe that life's problems can be solved with the right cookie.
I started baking at age eight, standing on a step stool next to my mom, "helping" with chocolate chip cookies (mostly just eating the dough, honestly). That early start turned into a lifelong passion, and now I'm here to share everything I've learned about making desserts that are both delicious and doable.
My Baking Philosophy
- Simple Wins: The best desserts don't require 47 ingredients and a culinary degree. My recipes focus on maximum deliciousness with minimum fuss.
- No-Fail Approach: I break down every step so clearly that even first-time bakers can nail it. Because dessert disasters are not on the menu.
- Joy First: Baking should be fun, not stressful. If you're not enjoying the process, something's wrong.
Background & Expertise
By day, I work as a graphic designer—which explains my obsession with making desserts look as good as they taste. By night (and weekend, and basically any free moment), I'm in my kitchen testing recipes until they're absolutely perfect.
I specialize in quick desserts that satisfy cravings without eating up your entire evening. Think brownies that take 10 minutes to prep, no-bake treats for hot summer days, and impressive desserts that only look like they took hours. My goal is to help you end every meal on a sweet note, no stress required.
