ABOUT BROOKE Growing up, Brooke spent hours in the kitchen with her mom–stirring batters and licking bowls was a weekly routine in their house. From a young age, Brooke was a do-it-yourselfer, interested not only in the perfect ingredients, but the perfect presentation. Spending precious time with her grandmother, an avid baker who encouraged Brooke to appreciate the beauty in a loaf of bread or a chocolate cake, Brooke learned that baking was a mix of science and art.

Having devoted a few years in college debating between a career in Chemistry and Apparel Design (and ultimately settling in Marketing), she realized that she had finally found her niche. Though she spent more time in college eating baked goods than making them, she worked hard on each treat she DID make, and often made excuses to head home and dabble in her parents’ kitchen. After landing in Chicago post-graduation, Brooke spent Two years working in the Innovations department for a well-known restaurant company. Here, Brooke learned the ins and outs of the food service industry, and also learned that it was okay to let her creative juices flow. Having a clean Chicago kitchen all to herself, she spent her days being a restaurant creative, and her nights committed to her baking goals. It was during this time that the vision for Love & Buttercream truly began to take shape. After starting a blog and receiving heartfelt feedback and interest about what was to come, she used her passion for unique tastes, creative presentation, and whimsical/rustic styles to throw caution to the wind, and committed to making a name for herself in the pastry world.

She attended the French Pastry School in Chicago, where she spent six months honing her skills and refining her techniques. Taught by amazing instructors with extraordinary repertoires and experience, Brooke gained knowledge that she never knew possible.

Baking (and eating) everything from croissants to petit fours, marshmallows to wedding cakes, Brooke found a new appreciation and a deeper love for the pastry world. She worked in several bakeries and pastry shops in Chicago, before deciding it was time to take yet another leap…back to Michigan to make Love & Buttercream a reality.
