Strawberry Crunch 🍓

Sharing my story again for all the newcomers! Welcome to my little corner of the internet 👋🏻✨️

Just popping in to say hello from The Window Sill to all the new comers and to put a face to this home bakery! My name is Carissa and the sole person behind the apron in the kitchen 🧁

I am a 31 year old Michigan dweller and a stay at home Mama to two kiddos. My husband is my best friend and we just celebrated 11 years of marriage on New Years Eve!

I have always found joy in baking treats for my family and friends but the original chocolate chip cheesecake cupcake is what really started it all for me. My family fell in love with it and it was quickly requested often for birthdays and family functions. At the end of 2021, I was put on two forms of life support after falling very ill while pregnant with my youngest. Unfortunately I was in the hospital for months, had a finger amputated, and the fingers on my dominant hand contracted. Shortly after arriving home, I found out that baking was the one thing I could still do well even with only one fully functioning hand and without help! I continued to find my independence one cupcake at a time.

I decided to start this baking page in June of 2024 and now am baking more cupcakes than I could have ever dreamed of making, the chocolate chip cheesecake cupcake still reigning the all time favorite! It is always an honor to be welcomed in to the most special days of your lives by trusting in me to make you delicious treats to celebrate! 🫶🏻

I am thinking about opening a little bakery stand at my home. Although I do my pick ups in Mattawan, the stand would be located in Paw Paw. I already recruited my husband to build me a stand once I figure out how I want it to look and once I have the courage to actually open one 😆

I brainstormed some ideas, but I would love to hear from you. What is something you would want to see at my little stand?

It does not need to be just desserts, but anything you would purchase at a farmers market or would rather buy from someone local!

Yesterday morning I woke up and could not get a dessert idea out of my head so I threw all plans out the window until it was made 😆 It ended up exceeding expectations!

I took the base of the mini fruit pizzas I offer - a sugar cookie with cream cheese frosting and added peach crisp to the top.
