I'm Abby and the sous-chef in our barkery. The executive chef is my mom! My mom adopted me when I was a baby and we have been pretty much inseparable since. When we first met, we learned a lot of scary information about me all at once. The doctors at Riley believed I would never talk, walk, see, or hear. My mom never gave up on me, and I have done all of these things in my own time with a lot of t
herapy and prayer. We also learned that I have autism spectrum disorder which makes my brain special. I interact with the world and others in a unique way! Somewhere along the way I became very sick, and we learned that I need a special, gluten-free diet to feel better. Did you know dogs need a special diet too?! I have spent a lot of time making gluten-free mug cakes and other creative recipes so that I can stay healthy. Now that I am 15, my mom and I would really like to prepare for my life after high school. We plan to take my love for baking special treats and caring for animals (stuffed or real) to create something sustainable and engaging! This bakery will help me continue to work on skills I need such as communication, interaction, organization, and developing relationships. I am so excited about this journey and cannot wait to make yummy treats for your furry friends!
