About Jamie

Hi, I’m Jamie!

I’m the founder and owner of My Baking Addiction. I’m so glad you’ve found your way here.

When I started My Baking Addiction back in 2008, I was teaching middle school full time and needed a way to channel the stress from that job.

Now, the site that started out as a passion project has also become my career.

I learned how to cook and bake as a child by making family recipes with my mom and nana. As a college student, I fell even more in love with the food industry while working front-of-house in restaurants. I eventually taught myself even more about cooking thanks to watching a lot of Food Network.

I lives in Cleveland, OH, with her husband and two daughters. I still watch far more Food Network programming than I am prepared to admit, stay up too late, and am hopelessly addicted to sprinkles, buttercream, and makeup tutorials on social media.
