Without the good people in my life, this book wouldn’t have been possible. I’d like to give the following thanks:
To my parents, for their love, guidance, and support in all my endeavors. Thank you so much for letting me make my own path and always being my cheerleaders, no matter what. To my sister, Sarah, for being my sous chef, model, and best friend. To my brother, Hayden, for keeping me laughing and always asking if the sweets have been photographed before taking a bite. To Bethany Anderson, for your friendship and undying love of strawberry-basil buttercream. To DeGina Scoggins, for helping me find my way in the kitchen with all those crazy catering jobs. To Ande Cook, for being my most enthusiastic supporter and always giving me advice when I need it. To all the Honey & Jam readers, for visiting my little corner of the Internet and for helping to turn my dreams into reality. And lastly, to the Avett Brothers, for providing the best cookbook-writing soundtrack a girl could ask for.
