Hey
I’m Jenna
baker and photographer behind Butternut Bakery.
I started as a way to share my passion for baking, the kind that involved flour, butter, and sugar. You know, the good stuff.
A year into my blog, I developed (and have since healed) digestive issues and discovered I have a sensitivity to both gluten and dairy. Here you’ll find approachable dessert recipes for every diet, from traditional sweets to allergy-friendly treats.
