A Bit About Me ~Meet the Baker

ABOUT ME

My name is, Diane, owner, baker and, all around hands-on person of The Cookie Fiend. I run a cozy home bakery business located in SW Portland. I specialize in baking small batch treats from scratch using recipes that have been passed down from my family.. and others recreated from testing and research. All a labor of love, with pride and integrity.

After moving here from L.A., I discovered my passion for baking and have been pursuing it ever since. When I'm not whipping up some delicious treats, I like to give back to my community by volunteering for Meals on Wheels & Ronald McDonald House Charities. I also enjoy collecting graphic novels, 80's toys, and going to concerts to support the incredible local music scene.

One more thing about me - I've successfully beaten cancer twice and I'm determined to keep a positive outlook on life. Thank you for taking the time to get to know me and my business, and I'm excited to hear from you soon.

As Featured On Everyday Northwest

Diane was featured on a segment of KOIN 6 news ~ Everyday Northwest called Everyday Baking. Her small business has drawn quite a fan base due to Diane's vibrant personality and delicious cookies. After her 2nd diagnosis of cancer in 2010, and a long-fought battle... Diane gave up working for others and created what is now known as The Cookie Fiend. Although she deals with a hereditary disease, Neurofibromatosis, baking is her escape. TCF loves to see the smiles on every cookie fiend's face.
