About

Hello and welcome to my baking blog, The Sweetest Kitchen (formerly The Cupcake Review)! My name is Jamieanne. I’m 30 years old and have been married for 6 years to an Australian bloke. We have 3 children; a 4-year-old daughter, a 2-year-old son and a newborn baby boy.

I’ve been a stay at home mom for 4 years but have previously worked as a veterinary assistant and a sales associate in a fish & aquarium shop for 5 years.

I’ve been interested in baking through my entire life and still remember helping my mom sift flour and bake Christmas cookies and cakes. I’m so happy to have started my own baking blog and to share it with everyone.

Our family is moving back to Sydney, Australia in November 2009 and we’re really excited to finally settle down in one great place.  I am American, born and raised, but I want to spend the rest of my life in Sydney with my Australian husband and our three children.  I hope to start up a home baking business for my local area once we return, and even better yet I’d like to start work in one of Sydney’s awesome cupcake bakeries.  Wish me luck!
