About Me:
Meet Mia Nguyen
I baked my first cake when I was 12—a lopsided chocolate disaster that tasted amazing despite looking like a small earthquake had hit it. That was the moment I fell in love with baking. The precision, the science, the magic of turning butter, sugar, and flour into something that makes people smile.
I grew up in San Jose, California, the daughter of Vietnamese immigrants who ran a small restaurant. While my parents focused on savory dishes, I claimed the dessert menu as my territory. By high school, I was selling cupcakes to classmates. By college, I was making wedding cakes for friends.
Now I work as a graphic designer by day and baker by night (and weekend, and whenever I can squeeze it in). I live in a tiny apartment in Oakland with more baking equipment than furniture, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
My Baking Philosophy
- Precision Matters: Baking is science. I'll teach you why recipes work so you can troubleshoot when they don't.
- Start Simple: Master the basics before getting fancy. A perfect chocolate chip cookie is more impressive than a failed macaron.
- Share Everything: The best desserts are the ones you give away. Baking is about spreading joy, not just eating sugar.
What You'll Find From Me
I specialize in desserts of all kinds—cookies, cakes, brownies, pies, and everything sweet in between. I love taking classic recipes and perfecting them, testing dozens of variations until I find the absolute best version. I'm also obsessed with no-bake desserts for when you want something sweet without heating up the kitchen.
When I'm not baking, I'm designing, hiking in the East Bay hills, or hunting for the best boba tea in the Bay Area. (I have opinions, and I'm happy to share them.)
