About the Author

A graphic designer by day, Sweet Geek Jenny Burgesse found another passion buried beneath a pile of flour and dutch process cocoa powder. Geek Sweets began in Ottawa as a home-based bakery, with everything made from scratch, just like grandma used to make - If grandma made Cthulhu Cookies and Battlestar Galacticakes. After finding success on the great plains of The Internet, Jenny and her trusty sidekick Mr. B relocated to Vancouver to be close to family, to be a part of the Farmers Market scene, and to continue their baking quest in the city that holds their hearts.
