Hi, I’m Debra. I’m a biscotti baker living in Lakeside, AZ. My business is licensed and insured. I love distinctive flavors, regional cooking and sharing with others. I own Bake Me Happier, an artisan bakery specializing in biscotti. Our flavors are not like any you’ve seen in biscotti baking before. Bake Me Happier specializes in unique creations, like Mexican Choco Loco and NM True Blue Corn. We also offer more traditional biscotti, like our Classic Almond and Cranberry Craze.

​

Even though Bake Me Happier offers some distinctive, non-traditional flavors our biscotti are made in the traditional way. Every loaf is hand rolled, hand sliced and baked twice to create the crispy cookies you’re hoping for.

​

The wonderful thing we want all people to know is that fresh packed, handmade biscotti is delicious! It’s not like biscotti you buy at a grocery store or commercial coffee shop.

 

In fact, the responses from my customers inspired me to start my small-batch bakery! People sample my biscotti and their faces break out in smiles. Their eyes get big and they say, “Wow! That’s really good!” Then they run to find their mom or text their partner or BFF, so they can taste it, too! That’s what it’s about. Giving people that WOW experience.

​

When Bake Me Happier started out, I wasn’t sure this was what I was supposed to do. But a big affirmation came when I shared with some friends that, as a kid, I was enamored by my grandma’s Kitchen Aid mixer. I told them I’ve always felt I’ll know I hit the big time when I have a Kitchen Aid mixer. A few days later, they surprised me with the gift of – you know it! – a Kitchen Aid mixer!

​

Since Bake Me Happier started, I’ve participated in the local Farmer’s Market and holiday craft fairs. I sell biscotti online and ship across the country. My biscotti are carried in a local bakery shop, I participated in the national SW Chocolate and Coffee Fest 2023 and am involved in the New Mexico Department of Agriculture Taste the Tradition program!

​

Bake Me Happier has come a long way in less than 2 years. But there’s more to me that you should know. I’m also a nurse and a wife. I’m fascinated with nutrition and healthy eating, so I use only the best ingredients. And my husband, Steven, plays a big part in the business. I tell people he’s my shipping agent and quality control manager. Without his support, Bake Me Happier wouldn’t be here. Hats off to Steven!

​

I hope you will explore our Shoppe and try our biscotti. Whether you’re having tea with friends, planning a class reunion breakfast, holding a client/staff meeting or stealing a special moment of peace for yourself, Bake Me Happier wants to help you celebrate the moment. We want you to experience that, “Wow! This is really good!” moment. Because you matter.
