The name MojoBakes came from my wedding, where we received the nickname Mojo. My name is Molly and my husband is Joe. Nothing more than that!
I started baking around 15 years ago when I tried a cookie recipe, halved the sugar and added in a few different kinds of sesame. I became the neighborhood “cookie lady” and gifted several batches of black sesame shortbread for a wedding.
Then came candy. An impulse purchase of a candy thermometer and a mistake in a cookbook led to my very first batch of toffee. When I tried to pack up the leftovers at a party, the host threatened to “break my wrist” if I didn’t leave the rest behind. So I went home and made more.
I've collaborated with other makers, such as Dandelion Chocolate and Dick Taylor to name a few. I’ve made mistakes, learned a lot and hope you enjoy my products. Thanks! #wheresaltmeetssweet
