Hi! I’m Alicia, and welcome to The Dessert Island Food Blog. I specialize in creating, writing, testing, and tasting the dessert recipes you’ll find in this collection. All of the recipes are created, tested, written, and photographed by real, live people!
My Background
I’ve been baking and cooking my whole life! I discovered food blog photography when I signed up for the Pretty Focused Food Photography Course in 2021. As my skills as a baker grew and I began taking classes to learn more about the science behind baking and cooking, my love and passion for creating desserts blossomed.
The Dessert Island’s Mission
Whether you are looking for a quick and easy dessert, something to take to your family’s house for the Holidays, or a fun treat for the kiddos, The Dessert Island has you covered. These recipes have been tested and optimized with clear, step-by-step directions with notes on the best practices.
Beyond Recipes
Along with irresistible dessert recipes, my goal is to give you information so you can become an expert and knowledgeable home baker and dessert maker. Discover the differences between the different types of flours, baking powder vs. baking soda, find recommended kitchen equipment, and troubleshoot cheesecake recipes.
My values
Each recipe is created, tested, and photographed by real people. In a world of AI, I pride myself in sharing recipes that work because I know how much time, energy, and money go into each recipe you make. I want to make sure your recipe is successful the first time you make it!
I’m excited to share my knowledge and recipes with you and your family!
