Anneka believes that baking is something to be valued, and most importantly shared. Her ultimate goal is to connect home cooks with the magic of baking and, through this, the people they love.

"Baking can enrich people’s lives on so many levels and connect them with the people they love. It warms the heart and feeds the soul. Baking is love made edible."
