Hi! We’re Jamie & Jill, the Two Chicks from the Sticks. We’re on a mission to get families back in the kitchen creating delicious desserts and lasting memories. Our love of baking and careers in the food industry started in our parents’ tiny farmhouse kitchens. Sitting on the counter next to the stand mixer, we learned the basics of scratch baking from our mothers. It’s those times spent creating and sharing with our mothers that inspired us to write a book and teach basic, back home baking techniques.  

We started a baking blog in 2010 and published our first book, Two Chicks from the Sticks – Back Home Baking, this year. The book pays homage to our baking heritage and features many of our favorite recipes, useful tips, and fun “Chicks’ Rules”. In addition to our book, we have two fabulous baking themed t-shirts available for sale at our online store.  “Bake it, don’t fake it” in light blue and “That’s how we roll.” in chocolate brown share our philosophy with the world. Both the book and the shirts make great gifts for your favorite baker or soon-to-be baker.

We teach baking classes at various kitchenware stores around the country and are available for private and small group instruction. Instead of hosting a typical bridal or baby shower, consider a baking party. Forget hiring the clown for your son’s or daughter’s next birthday party, hire us to coordinate a cookie decorating party.

Take the journey with us back into the kitchen and reconnect with your family while disconnecting from your cell phone. Whether you’re new to baking or a seasoned pro, you’ll find our style of baking fun and refreshing.  After several years in the baking and appliance industry, we’ve seen it all, including a few oven fires. Join us in the kitchen as we bake everyone's favorite dessert from the past and bring your family together to create unforgettable memories.
