I work full-time as an oncology nurse, but baking has been my love language and creative outlet for as long as I can remember. What I love most is the way it brings us together — over a shared memory of a nostalgic birthday cake, a flavor that tastes like home, a recipe passed down for generations — baking + food in general, have the ability to bring people together when we need it most.

The name voisine came from this love for the community that baking has created in my life. Some of my fondest memories are of making my mom’s birthday cakes, helping my 99 year-old grandfather make Christmas cookies for the first time, and laughing, trying to divide one single pie some 40-odd ways on a very turkey-heavy Thanksgiving.

Voisine is the neighbor that brings over a tin of cookies at the holidays, extra birthday candles when the to-do list runs too long, or a loving meal when you need it most. My goal is to bring this neighborly love to your table and for you and your community to savor those sweet moments together.
