I’ve been baking since I was a child and I haven’t stopped since. The act of measuring ingredients, mixing them, decorating, and of course, taste-testing, has always been a relaxing and peaceful process for me. I’ve also always been interested in food science, which explains how ingredients work together to create the best tasting dish. Through my research and years of experience I’ve learned plenty of tips and tricks to make my baked goods taste the best they possibly can

The background of Bunny Baking

In 2021, a friend I had met at school was moving and was not able to bring their 8 month old rabbit Athena with them. They wanted to make sure their baby bunny went to a good home, and I was happy to volunteer. At the time, I desperately wanted a pet cat, but was unable to get one as my mother is allergic, so this seemed like the perfect substitute. I had no idea of the joys I was about to experience.

Athena started off shy but quickly became more comfortable with my mother and I. As we trained her, we realized that she was extremely treat-motivated, particularly sweet treats. When food was involved, she almost instantly went from quiet and reserved to excitedly hopping everywhere. During this time, I was considering what I wanted to do for a career. I knew I had a love for interior designing, baking, customer service, and bunnies, and one day it struck me that I should open a bakery. I had considered selling baked goods before, but I knew I needed something to set me apart from the competition. The idea of opening a bunny cafe, like a cat cafe but with bunnies, seemed absolutely perfect. It was unique, original, and something I’m truly passionate about.

Ever since then, I’ve worked hard to make this dream a reality. In January I started looking into rules and regulations regarding selling baked goods in Maryland and I got certified as a Food Handler. In April I began vending at small local events and shows, and I plan to continue the way I’ve been going as well as expand into small catering jobs!

Every cookie you purchase at Bunny Baking takes me one step closer to pursuing my dream :)
