About Anna Kelly

Hi, I'm Anna!

Welcome to DessertsPro! I'm Anna Kelly, the baker, recipe developer, and dessert enthusiast behind this site. If you're here, you probably love desserts as much as I do – and trust me, that's saying a lot!

My Baking Journey

My love affair with baking started in my grandmother's kitchen when I was just seven years old. I still remember the smell of her homemade apple pie cooling on the windowsill and the way her chocolate chip cookies could turn any bad day around. Those early memories sparked something in me that's only grown stronger over the years.

After high school, I pursued my passion formally by enrolling in culinary school, where I specialized in pastry arts. I spent several years working in professional kitchens, including a memorable stint at a fine dining restaurant where I learned the importance of precision, creativity, and never being afraid to experiment.

But here's the thing – while I loved the artistry of professional baking, I missed the warmth and joy of home baking. The kind of baking where you don't need fancy equipment or hard-to-find ingredients. The kind where your kitchen gets messy, your kids steal chocolate chips from the bowl, and the end result brings smiles to everyone's faces.

 

 

Why I Started DessertsPro

In 2019, I decided to start this blog as a way to share my favorite recipes with home bakers like you. My mission is simple: to prove that you don't need to be a professional chef to create amazing desserts at home.

Every recipe you'll find here has been tested multiple times in my own kitchen. I believe in:

• Clear, easy-to-follow instructions that don't assume you went to culinary school
• Accessible ingredients you can find at your local grocery store
• Honest tips and tricks from my years of experience (including what NOT to do)
• Recipes that actually work – if it's on this site, I've made it successfully, and you can too

What You'll Find Here

DessertsPro is your go-to resource for:

• Classic desserts with a twist
• Seasonal treats for every holiday
• Easy weeknight desserts when you need something sweet, fast
• Show-stopping cakes for special celebrations
• Tips and techniques I've learned over years of baking

Whether you're a complete beginner or an experienced baker looking for new inspiration, there's something here for you.

My Baking Philosophy

I believe baking should be joyful, not stressful. Yes, precision matters, but so does creativity and having fun. Some of my best recipes came from happy accidents in the kitchen. I encourage you to use my recipes as a foundation and make them your own.

Beyond the Kitchen

When I'm not covered in flour (which isn't often!), you'll find me experimenting with new flavor combinations, hunting down the perfect chocolate at farmer's markets, or enjoying a good cup of coffee with something sweet, of course.

I live with my family, who are my most honest taste-testers. If a recipe makes it to this blog, it's been kid-approved, spouse-approved, and friend-approved.
