La Wetta

Tue, 06 Jan 2015 08:40:54 +0000

Hi!

My name is Sara, and my passion for desserts began as a hobby when I was a child. I often spent my afternoons baking cookies, puddings, and jam tarts to share with my friends for snack time :)

My mom certainly gave me the basics, and from there I began experimenting with new recipes and creating and modifying others. In fact, every recipe I found in magazines or on websites always had something that I thought could be improved, so I’d start adjusting the ingredient amounts—or sometimes the ingredients themselves—to create the perfect dessert for me. All my recipes are therefore the result of constant testing, tweaking, and tastings by friends and family who have helped me—and continue to help me—find the perfect blend of ingredients every time.
