Meet Scarletta

Let’s talk cake. Maybe cookies? Or perhaps just all of the above.

My name is Meagan and I’m a baker and a chef with a focus on the cuisine and culture of the American Southwest.

And why not? My life, laughter, and baked goods are all coming at you from the crazy-wild desert of southern Arizona.

My baking, cooking, and ingredient sourcing are heavily influenced by all things Arizona, New Mexico, Native American and Mexican. My favorite dishes are retro classics reimagined through a southwestern lens.

ScarlettaBakes.com is a record of my sweet and savory (mis)adventures in culinaria.

Need some more info? OK.

My favorite color is orange.
My fuel of choice is Diet Coke, salty pecans and delicious baked goods (duh).
I am addicted to reading cookbooks.
My favorite kitchen implement is my tortilla press.

And I’m sincerely grateful for any time that you choose to spend here with me, at the intersection of baking, southwestern tradition, and real-life silly hijinks.

So thanks for stopping by…  but don’t leave yet! Pull up a chair, grab a whisk and a bib, and let’s get cooking.

Best Wishes,  Meagan
