About Nicole Bazemore

Nicole Bazemore has combined years of professional experience in small business operations with a lifelong passion for baking. Based in Virginia, she has cultivated a reputation for making recipes clear, approachable, and adaptable to local ingredients. Her early work in event coordination and retail gave her a strong foundation in organization and planning, which she now applies to recipe development and teaching.

Her interest in baking goes beyond the technical steps of measuring, mixing, and timing. Nicole focuses on the broader story of food — how ingredients grown in Virginia can be transformed into breads, pastries, and desserts that reflect both heritage and innovation. She believes that every recipe carries a sense of place and history, and she values the connections made when those recipes are shared within a community.

Nicole’s approach emphasizes clarity and accessibility. Through workshops, community events, and written pieces, she helps others see baking as a skill that anyone can build with practice. By rooting her work in Virginia’s food traditions and seasonal abundance, she shows how baking can become more than a hobby — it can be a way of celebrating culture, strengthening ties, and creating something meaningful to share.
