Julia’s mission statement is: “To spread joy by giving away delicious baked treats for free to those in need to make special occasions even sweeter.” Her journey began in August 2020 and was inspired by her cherished memories with her grandmother. She became an officially recognized 501(c) organization in September 2022 and has been expanding her mission ever since. Definitely check out Give a Cake a Bakery to follow Julie’s journey!
Julia’s favorite cookie is the Classic Chocolate Chip.
Julia’s tip: “I like to use a more brown sugar than white sugar in chocolate chip cookies to get a more caramel taste.”
