"My mother was, and still is, an excellent baker so all the credit for any skill I possess goes to her. My career has been in corporate communications and I never thought about following baking as a career path. At the same time, I was feeling very burnt out with my career and looking for a new direction."

In her spare time, Helen started obsessing over decorative pies she saw on Pinterest and started figuring out how to make them. She kept at it and eventually got so good, she began to develop her own style. "That led to doing work for Food Network which led to a book offer which led to a new career! I know social media gets a bad rap but sometimes great things can come from it. I'm living proof of that."

Thanksgiving just around the corner, it sounds like the right time to pick up the rolling pin, right?
