Welcome!

I’m Alissa!

A baking & lifestle blogger

I’m the creator behind Midwest & Wonder. Growing up in the Chicagoland area meant hot summers running through sprinklers, crunchy fall leaves, cold winters with soft glittery snow, and the Earthy wet smell of spring. The midwest is a beautiful place that shaped me and my love of baking.

I have to give credit to the amazing support system that always encouraged me to try new things. It drove me to improve my baking skills, find confidence in cake decorating, study photography, and learn how to build a website.

I always think about my tiny corner of the Internet. What do I want you, the reader, to take away? I hope I can be a safe place with cozy vibes and nice pictures to look at. I’d like to give you a sense of “I can do it too!” Looking at the world with wonder takes a lot of courage but don’t forget that we’re in it together.
