Hi! I'm Olivia, the one-woman show behind Smoochie's Home Bakery. After retiring from college athletics, I found myself in unfamiliar territory: no practice, no schedule, and a whole lot of time. That's when I started exploring new hobbies, and baking quickly rose to the top (lol).
What began as a creative outlet turned into something more meaningful. I started baking for friends, family, coworkers - anyone who wanted free dessert - and fell in love with the joy (and compliments) it brought. Before I knew it, Smoochie's was born, named after my sweet angel bulldog.
I take pride in every single thing I do - and that includes everything that leaves my kitchen. From hand-rolled cinnamon rolls to thick, chewy cookies, everything is made from scratch using the finest ingredients I can source.
All of my eggs (thanks Jacob + fam!), fruit, and veggies are locally sourced in my effort to support other small businesses, and because I believe better ingredients make better treats. While I might run this show solo, every batch is baked by a whole lot of heart, purpose, and passion.
And fun fact: I’m also currently attending grad school! Every purchase you make helps fund my education, and I couldn’t be more grateful for your support.
Thank you for being here and supporting my small-batch dreams. I cannot wait to bake for you!

The reason behind the name. Cha Cha (AKA Smoochie, Moochie, Chooch, etc). Provides excellent feedback and lets me know when things are "Lick-the-plate good". Is not in the kitchen at time of baking.
