Welcome to Great Big Beautiful World – Baking, where we’re turning our passion for sourdough, pastry and artisan treats into a shared journey through the heart of SoCal.
On this page, you’ll find a growing collection of my favorite recipes gathered over the years of baking at home, alongside honest stories and lessons learned as I transition into the professional world of culinary school. Whether you’re looking for a reliable high-hydration bread guide, or want to follow along with the technical challenges of a pastry arts program, this blog is a place to explore the “how” and the “why” behind everything we whisk, knead and bake.
Great Big Beautiful World is our central hub for celebrating the things that make life meaningful, from the magic of Disneyland to the local spirit of Southern California. Managed by two San Diegans, it's a growing umbrella for our various creative passions - including art, coaching, and storytelling - all unified by a mission to spread joy and positivity. We believe there are a lot of "great big beautiful somethings" waiting for everyone, and we use videos and projects to showcase the beauty in the world around us.
