Hello beautiful people of Instagram 🙋‍♀️ Hello beautiful people of Instagram 🙋‍♀️ It’s been a hot minute since I’ve introduced myself on here, and I just got this awesome shot taken by @brianvanwyk (wearing and captured for a @lezethelabel shoot) so I thought this might be the perfect opportunity! I’m Jess - the human behind The Stubborn Baker. In 2019 I moved into @commissaryconnect and officially launched my custom dessert business and have been baking/decorating my little heart out for you guys ever since! Some random, and potentially “fun” facts about me (no promises though 😉): 🧁 I’m a quadriplegic! I’ve used a wheelchair since I was 15 years old, and get great satisfaction out of uprooting society’s expectation of what it means to be “disabled”… doing so has required a little bit of **stubbornness** on my part (see what I did there???) 🧁 I’ve travelled to 53 different countries. 37 of those were before I was 11, because I grew up on a sailboat and circumnavigated the world with my family for 4 years. That’s a lot of numbers! 🧁 I have played wheelchair rugby for the BC provincial team for over 10 years - for those of you that have never heard of it, go watch the documentary “Murderball” - it’s an excellent intro to the sport 😂 🧁 I have an English degree and creative writing certificate from SFU…. Which I got thinking I wanted to be a teacher… and then quickly realized I did not (oops) and went and got my baking and pastry arts certificate from @vccbaking 🧁 I firmly believe iced coffee is a reasonable substitute for water. 🧁 I am getting married this summer 🎉 and have the cutest fur baby, @molly.thetoller 🧁All of my immediate family lives on a sailboat. My parents recently moved back onto the boat we grew up on, and my older sister, Leah, bought her own boat that she lives on with her husband and 4-year-old (they just sailed to Panama). 🧁 I love reality TV. If you want to talk Selling Sunset, Married at First Sight, Ru Paul, or Love is Blind - I am HERE for it (#dontjudge) 🧁That’s all for now folks, if you’ve read this far, THANK-YOU. If you haven’t, it’s ok, I still like you. THANK-YOU for following along and joining me on this (*usually*) sweet journey 🙌🏻
Wishing you a ONE-derful day! ❤️ So excited t Wishing you a ONE-derful day! ❤️ So excited to be making bigger cakes again, feels like a tiny step towards a little bit of normalcy in the world again 🤞 #onederful #mronederful #tieredcake #cake #buttercream #buttercreamcake #cakedecorator #cakesofinstagram #cakesofinsta #baker #quadbaker #vancouverbakery #vancityeats #dishedvan #FNCEats #yvrfoodie #yvreats #bakersofinstagram #cakestagram #bakestagram #dailyhivevan #cakeinspiration #yvreats
