About

Hi, I’m the ginger behind the apron — a redhead, mom of four, wife to a priest, and keeper of four dogs and one very opinionated bird.

​

 

After nearly a decade in the funeral industry, my family and I relocated to New York, and I shifted from a structured career to the beautiful chaos of stay-at-home mom life. While I loved being home with my children, I missed the sense of community, structure, and purpose that came with working.

​

One day, I stumbled across the world of sourdough and decided to give it a try. From the very first batch, something just clicked — the process was grounding, creative, and deeply satisfying. 

​

 

What began as a small personal project quickly grew into This Ginger Has Snapped Bakery — a way to connect with my community, share homemade goodness, and rediscover that spark of independence. I started with cookies and seasonal treats, then expanded into sourdough loaves.

​

The name says it all — I’m a ginger who snapped in the best way possible. Baking became my outlet, my therapy, and my contribution back to the world, one loaf and cookie at a time.

​

 

Every item is baked from scratch right here in Shoreham, NY, under New York’s home-processor laws. My goal is to grow locally through farmers markets, scheduled pickups, and by filling homes with the smell (and taste) of something fresh from the oven.

​

 

If you love homemade treats baked with heart, humor, and a touch of red-headed rage — welcome. You’re in the right place. 🖤
