hello there!
welcome to my little corner of the internet! I’m so glad to have you here!
If you don’t already know, my name is Josephine Sheila (you can call me Jo). I’m the baker, blogger, and content creator behind The Jo Baker. As the name suggests, The Jo Baker is a (mostly) baking blog. Here you will find plenty of indulgences, mostly sweet bakes sometimes savory and healthy-ish. The recipes are beginner-friendly with step-by-step instructions and baking tips to help you succeed in your own kitchen.
My goal is to create beautiful, delicious, easy-to-follow desserts and baking recipes that everyone can make at home, even if you’ve never baked from scratch in your entire life. I really hope The Jo Baker will be your ultimate resource for baking and you’ll find something (or lots of things) that make their way to your table.
How It Began?
I started sharing my recipes and food photography on my Instagram account back in 2019. At that time I was an interior designer trying to change my career into a dessert recipe blogger because I always love baking and I feel like this is what I really want to do, but I wasn’t sure about this. Then, in late 2023 I started to take sharing my recipes more seriously and now The Jo Baker has grown into a small community. So grateful to have you all here!
When did my love of baking begin?
I’ve been baking since I was a little girl and my journey into the baking world began in the kitchen with my late dad growing up. He used to let me mix his cake batter, and teach me how to knead yeast dough, and we always bake cookies during the holidays. That’s how my passion for baking blossomed from those early days.
Above all else, I’m just so glad you’re here! Thank you so much for checking out The Jo Baker! I hope you will enjoy my site and more importantly, I hope to inspire you to throw on your apron, preheat the oven, and bake up something delicious from my recipes for your loved ones. There is something for everyone here, so let’s get baking!
By the way, I’m always open to new recipe ideas and if you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to shoot me an email! Also, you can keep up with me on Instagram, Pinterest, TikTok, and YouTube.

These are a few of my favorite RECIPES…
- BROWN BUTTER CINNAMON ROLLS – These cinnamon rolls are made with brioche dough filled with brown butter cinnamon sugar filling and soaked with heavy cream, then topped with a luscious brown butter cream cheese frosting.
- CHOCOLATE CHIPS SOUR CREAM BANANA BREAD – This Chocolate Chips Sour Cream Banana Bread is full of ripe bananas, wonderfully moist thanks to sour cream, and loaded with semi-sweet chocolate chips.
