About Dessert Haven

A cozy corner of the internet where dessert recipes meet creativity and simplicity.

Hey! We're Dessert Haven

I started Dessert Haven because I believe dessert should feel like home—comforting, creative, and just a little magical. My own love story with baking began in a tiny kitchen, where I learned that even the simplest ingredients—flour, butter, sugar—could be transformed into something extraordinary. The moment everything clicked? When I saw friends’ faces light up at the first bite of a cake I baked from scratch. That joy was contagious, and I knew I wanted to share it with more than just my kitchen table.

My Mission

Every recipe here is written with you in mind—whether you’re baking for the very first time or looking to add a twist to a family classic. My mission is to make desserts approachable without losing the fun. I test, tweak, and taste so you can follow along with confidence (and maybe even sneak a finger of batter from the bowl).

My Core Values

Joy over perfection: A slightly crooked cake tastes just as sweet (sometimes sweeter).
Creativity with simplicity: You don’t need fancy tools to make something special.
Inclusivity at the table: Vegan, gluten-free, or classic indulgence—everyone deserves dessert.
Community first: Baking is better when it’s shared, whether that’s stories, tips, or a slice of pie.

My Vision

Dessert Haven isn’t just about recipes—it’s about building a sweet escape for anyone who needs a little joy baked into their day.

My dream is to create a space where creativity, inclusivity, and delicious experiments collide. And here’s the thing: you’re part of that vision.

Every time you bake one of my recipes, share your version, or send me a note, you help shape what Dessert Haven becomes.

Meet Rebeccah Ellene Founder & Chief Dessert Maker

(Plus Eternal Chocolate Lover)

I’m Rebeccah—the one mixing, testing, photographing, and writing every recipe you see here. Baking has been my creative outlet and my way of showing love for as long as I can remember.

Over the years, I’ve turned this passion into Dessert Haven, a space where I can share easy-to-follow recipes, time-saving baking hacks, and the lessons I’ve learned from both successes and spectacular kitchen fails. If you ever want to say hi, share your baking story, or swap tips, you can reach me directly at [email protected]

How We Actually Do This Work

Behind every recipe on Dessert Haven is lots of testing (and plenty of flour-dusted countertops). I experiment with different ingredients, write step-by-step instructions, and simplify tricky techniques. I don’t just publish the pretty cakes—I share the trial and error, too, because that’s where the real learning (and laughter) happens.

Why Trust Us? (Fair Question!)

Every recipe is tested in my own kitchen, not just dreamed up on paper. Readers have sent back stories of birthday cakes saved, last-minute cookies that wowed, and vegan desserts that fooled the toughest critics. That feedback fuels me to keep experimenting and sharing recipes that really work

Our Community (That's You!)

One of the best parts of Dessert Haven is the community that’s formed around it. From seasonal baking challenges to swapping tips on wine-and-dessert pairings, you all inspire me daily. Dessert Haven isn’t just my blog—it’s our shared kitchen.

My Promise to You

I promise to keep Dessert Haven a place of honesty and heart. That means recipes will always be tested, tips will be realistic, and updates will happen when something needs improvement. If I make a mistake, I’ll own it and fix it—because baking (like life) is always a work in progress.

Let's Stay Connected (We Actually Read Our Emails)

I love hearing from you—whether it’s a photo of your bake, a question about substitutions, or just a hello. You can reach me at [email protected], and I do my best to reply within 48 hours.
