My passion for baking began in 1983. Summoned by my mother during the holiday season to bake chocolate chip pecan cookies, I quickly developed a love for the art. I’ve spent years studying and perfecting the art of baking lemon bars, pecan pralines, and of course chocolate chip pecan cookies. Sweet Luxuries Boutique Bakery was launched in the fall of 2007
