Hi! I'm Stephanie

I’m a farm girl who moved to the big city, just to end up in the small town neighborhood of Danforth East. I love it so much that I opened my bakery Ampersand Bakehouse just down the street.

My Favourite Things

Stand Mixer

The KitchenAid Stand Mixer is my ride or die, my primary icing maker and expert recipe tester.

Cake Turntable

The Ateco Cake Turntable works well under pressure, even under the weight of a 5-tier wedding cake.

Cupcake Pan

I need to bake cupcakes in order to sell them and the Wilton Cupcake Pan earns its keep at the bakery.

Piping Tip

If I had to play favourites, it would be the Wilton 1M Piping Tip. This is my go-to tip for icing cupcakes.

Not at the bakery?I've got my nose in a romance novel.

Join our Blind Date Book Club and read through a book curated by independent bookseller Meet Cute. Available for purchase at Ampersand or online with Meet Cute.

Have it read by Wednesday, October 16th at 7:00 PM to join the book discussion at Ampersand Bakehouse.
