Hi, I’m Macey, and welcome to Soft & Golden, where I share my journey of building my dream bakery and rethinking my relationship with desserts.

Growing up, I’ve always had a love for baking. The smell of freshly baked bread or the sight of golden pastries was something magical to me. But somewhere along the way, I developed a complicated relationship with desserts—what once brought joy became a source of guilt and restriction. For years, I struggled with binging episodes, followed by periods of avoiding sweets altogether. Baking, something I once loved, became a battle.

Now, I’m on a mission to reconnect with my love for baking and desserts. I’m learning to appreciate them again—not just as indulgences, but as moments of joy and creativity. Soft & Golden isn’t just a food blog; it’s a space where I share my personal story of healing my relationship with food, one recipe at a time.

This blog will take you along for the ride as I work towards opening my very own bakery. You’ll see the behind-the-scenes moments of learning the business side of baking, perfecting recipes, and navigating the ups and downs of being an aspiring bakery owner.

Whether you’re here for recipes, my baking journey, or just a little inspiration, I’m so happy you’ve joined me on this adventure. Baking has always been about more than just making something sweet—it’s about connection, joy, and now, a path to personal freedom.

Thank you for stopping by! Let’s create something soft, golden, and wonderful together.
