Eliza Miller, JAH Bakes

My name is Eliza Miller, I live with my husband, two dogs, and two girls in Wellesley, MA. I have been actively baking for 3 years and love all things colorful, pink & glittery. My baking style is very much bright, happy and fun. About 50% of my work is through charity and/or donation so I love to give back. I am on the Committee for Horizons for Homeless Children, and love to give back to organizations such as Sloane Kettering and Dana Farber, which are close to my heart. My favorite flavor is Chocolate !
