Meet the Baker

Hi! My name is Michelle. I’ve been baking since I graduated college (not that long ago, but long enough)! At that time, I worked in higher education at Bowling Green State University and used to bake for my students. I gave them each an “un-birthday” as an excuse to bake their favorite desserts and recognize them for their hard work.

Even though I left higher education for business consulting, I kept baking for friends and family to celebrate their birthdays and holidays! And that is how Hott Tarts got started... 

One of my best friends loves Nutella, so I baked him homemade Nutella Hott Tarts for his birthday. Some partygoers encouraged me to start a small business, and here I am three years later!

Hott Tarts brings together the 50s, 90s, and now - My grandmother's pie dough recipe from the 1950s, my love of Pop Tarts from the 1990s, and my creative ability to come up with new and exciting flavors now! 

Thank you for supporting my passion and letting me live out my dream of being a baker!
