Hi, I am Sarah Greene, an engineer turned baker. I have always loved to cook and bake (from the time I needed a step stool just to reach the counter). However, I did not initially see it as my career path. I went down a traditional academic path, earning my master's degree in environmental engineering. 

 

By 2021, I was working a traditional engineering job, but nothing felt right. I was working crazy hours and had no creative outlet. I was totally burnt out.

 

Around this time, I was also planning my wedding reception and having a hard time finding a vegan bakery to do our wedding cake. After a lot of frustration, I decided to make our own wedding cupcakes. I thought, hey I love to bake, how hard can it be? Let's just say I was mistaken. I spent most of the day before my wedding in the kitchen baking, frosting (and re-frosting) cupcakes with the help of family and bridesmaids.

 

I knew I did not want others to experience this added stress for their special occasions and that there was a real need in my community for delicious vegan cakes. With a lot more practice with decorating and tweaking my recipes, Plant Baked by Sarah was born!
