Baking Helped Janie Deegan Recover From Addiction

INSPIRATIONAL VIDEO – FROM CRUMBS TO ICING –

Feb. 23, 2023 – “When I was getting sober, I found that my life was so out of control, but baking was … just this beautiful, meditative, very controlled, artistic outlet for me,” Deegan told CBS News. “And I was 25 and had no idea what I wanted to do with my life, but I just found that baking helped me reconnect with people.”

At first, Deegan was just baking as a hobby – but her friends showed her she could do more with it. 

“The baked good that changed my life was for a friend and she asked me to make a cake. She wanted to pay me to make a cake for a big event she was having,” Deegan said. “And I look back at pictures of that cake like, oh it was so not professional.”
