About Emily

Hi, I’m Emily – the baker, photographer, and cranberry enthusiast behind Bakes by Emily!

My kitchen journey began when I realized most recipes make way too much for my small household. Tired of tossing half-eaten cakes and stale cookies, I started converting traditional recipes into perfectly portioned small batch treats. No waste, no guilt – just the right amount of deliciousness.

My obsession with cranberries? It started with my grandmother’s cranberry bread recipe that made enough for an army. After downsizing it to make just one perfect loaf, I discovered these tart little berries make everything better – from morning muffins to evening desserts.

Here at Bakes by Emily, I share recipes scaled for real life: treats for two, tiny cakes that don’t linger, and cranberry creations that celebrate every season (yes, even summer!). Each recipe is tested in my cozy kitchen and photographed to inspire your own baking adventures.

Whether you’re baking for one, cooking for two, or simply love the charm of small batch baking, you’ve found your place. Let’s make something delicious – in just the right size!

Happy baking! Emily
