Hi! We are Heidi and Jenni, besties and bloggers. We share a passion for getting messy in the kitchen, and love of creative cuisine, Sriracha, wine, sparkles and sprinkles. We don’t however, share a love for doing dishes (that is all Jenni, crazy girl). Jenni likes spicy, Heidi likes sweet. Jenni is a dog person (who likes some cats) and Heidi is a cat person (who tolerates most dogs). We tend to be good compliments to each other and balance each other out, just like a fine aged wine.
We started this blog together because we both love to cook and are inspired by local foods and dishes we find on our travels. Being foodies and social media butterflies, we were constantly posting photos of yummy dishes and were always getting asked for the recipe or where we were eating if we were out trying a new restaurant. We were looking for a creative and fun outlet to share our awesomely tasty creations with others and so Awesome with Sprinkles was born.
How we met
We pretty much have the best “how did you meet?” story ever. How many friends can say that it was Sharknado cupcakes that brought them together? Yup. Sharknado cupcakes. Let’s back it up, shall we…
We first crossed paths in the lobby of SheKnows.com, an online publishing company. Jenni was in for an interview for the marketing department and Heidi was the resident UI geek. As fate would have it, it was Shark Week and the crazy movie Sharknado had just premiered a few weeks prior. Heidi had created Sharknado themed cupcakes for the occasion. Overhearing this awesomeness, Jenni had to check it out, and we proceeded to geek out and take photos and talk about our mutual love of cupcakes. food and baking. At that moment… we knew our friendship was meant to be and that many great and delicious things would soon be coming.
Fast forward a little bit and here we are…Awesome with Sprinkles! Our home sweet home on the interwebs.
What we blog about
We like to cook and make things from scratch but we also know that life is busy and we tend to be practical as well. On Awesome with Sprinkles you will find a variety of recipes. Some are made with pre-made doughs or hack a cake mix to save time and make things easy. Others are completely from scratch using fresh and often local ingredients. Sometimes we bake a simple tasty cake and other times we craft crazy out-of-our-minds creations, like Sharknado cupcakes!
Other times we just tell funny stories and crack silly jokes (Heidi loves herself some cheesy puns) and share it with you whether you like it or not. Although the jokes might not always rise to the occasion, know that all of our recipes are dishes that we have tried and love and all are 100% full of awesome!
We love that you are here with us on this journey of awesomeness and we want to thank each and every one of you who takes the time to read our blog. We love to share our recipes with you and we invite you to try them and share them with others! Spread the love, and the sprinkles!
Much <3, Heidi & Jenni
