Hi, I’m Courtney Rich, a self-taught baker, who’s love of baking and obsession with cake went from an occasional hobby to passion just five years ago, and is now something I share with over 325,000 followers on Instagram, on national television shows like The Kelly Clarkson Show and the Today Show, and on my blog, CakebyCourtney.com. I try to share the simple basics that look impressive, but are easy to master. My goal Is to inspire you to give baking from scratch a try. I’m all about, if I can do it, you can too!

In today’s episode, my very first episode of “Courtney: Beyond the Cake,” I’m sharing my story – a personal journey that has proven to me it’s possible to find joy in the midst of darkness and that’s never “too late to dream a new dream.”
