Laura Bennett

Hi, I’m Laura Bennett, a home baker, recipe creator, and mom of two. I’m married to my husband Mark, and together we’re raising our kids, Emma and Lucas, who are always the first to test my latest baking experiments. Warm Baker started as a way to share the cozy, reliable recipes I make for my family every week — from soft breads and breakfast bakes to simple cookies that never last long in our house.

Warm Baker is my space for sharing easy, comforting baking recipes — the kind you can make in a real home kitchen, with simple ingredients, clear steps, and no pressure to be perfect.

How Warm Baker Began

Warm Baker started in my California kitchen during one of those quiet afternoons when the sunlight fills the room and the oven is already warm. I had just baked a simple loaf of bread — nothing fancy — but it barely cooled before it was sliced, buttered, and gone.

That moment reminded me why I love baking so much. Baking has a way of slowing life down. It pulls people into the kitchen, sparks conversation, and turns ordinary days into something memorable.

I didn’t grow up in a professional bakery, but I grew up around home cooking and baking that was done with care, not perfection. Over the years, as I baked more for my family, I learned through trial and error — dense loaves, flat cookies, overbaked trays — and slowly figured out what truly works.

Warm Baker was created to share those lessons, so you can bake with confidence and enjoy the process as much as the result.

From Home Baker to Recipe Creator

Living in California has shaped how I bake. I’m inspired by seasonal ingredients, simple flavors, and recipes that feel light, warm, and comforting without being complicated.

Baking became my creative outlet — a way to relax, experiment, and create something meaningful for the people I love. Over time, I started developing recipes that fit into everyday life: soft breads for the week, easy breakfast bakes, cookies for school lunches, and simple desserts for weekends with friends.

Every recipe on Warm Baker is tested in my home kitchen and written with care. I focus on clear instructions, helpful tips, and honest guidance, so you always know what to expect at every step.

Why You Can Trust Warm Baker Recipes

I’m not a professionally trained pastry chef — and I believe that’s a strength.

Warm Baker is made for home bakers, not bakery showrooms. My recipes are designed to work in real ovens, with real schedules, and ingredients you can easily find.

Here’s what I promise:

  • Tested and reliable recipes
  • Simple, accessible ingredients
  • Step-by-step instructions with helpful notes
  • Honest tips about texture, timing, and technique

My goal is that when you follow a Warm Baker recipe, you feel guided, supported, and proud of what you’ve made.

Baking That Feels Like Home

For me, baking is about more than food.
