Hi, I’m Em. A self-taught baker, sweet tooth, and the creator behind Em’s Sweet Life. I believe baking doesn’t need to be complicated to be delicious.
Here you’ll find easy, reliable recipes made with simple ingredients, a few shortcuts, and a whole lot of heart.
What started as a weekend hobby has turned into my happy place. A space to share the treats I love baking for family and friends.
Whether it’s a last-minute dessert, a nostalgic classic, or something new to impress at your next gathering, my goal is to help you feel confident (and calm!) in the kitchen.
Grab a cup of tea, preheat your oven, and let’s bake something sweet together.
Want to hang out in the kitchen with me? If you’re a visual learner (or just like watching butter and sugar come together), I’ve filmed step-by-step videos for all my favourite recipes! You can find the full tutorials over on my YouTube channel now. Let’s bake something delicious together!

The Official Taste-Testers and Professional Nap Takers
If you hear a little snort or see a wagging tail in the background of my videos, meet the real bosses of the kitchen: Teddy and Lola.
My two Boston Terrier shadows are the heart of this home. While they aren’t allowed to help with the baking, they are world-class experts at supervising the kitchen floor for accidental crumbs and ensuring every bag of flour is opened with maximum enthusiasm.
Life is just a little bit sweeter with a Boston Terrier by your side!
