Well hey y’all, my name is Preston! I own and operate Sweet June Bakery out of my home in Louisville, Kentucky!

I am blessed beyond what I deserve to be a mom of two incredible boys, and the wife to my husband who puts up with all my adventures in life. After  graduating from Western Kentucky University with a degree in Art Education, I quickly entered the corporate world of sales and completely surprised myself with how much I enjoyed it. As much as I loved my career, I was searching for a constant creative outlet all these years to help stretch that side of my brain.

In 2017 we added another sweet baby to our beautifully chaotic house. While on maternity leave, in an effort to get out of the house my friend and I took a cookie class with a very cool new group called Level Up. For years I had been envious of the beautiful sugar cookies I saw on social media and in magazines. I have always wanted to learn but never had the time or proper icing recipe. I went into the class with the motive to learn a fun new skill, possibly save money on ordering cookies in the future by making them myself, have a glass of wine and laugh with my friend. I never imagined that two years later I would be operating a successful side hustle turned full time career decorating cookies, and teaching classes of my own! I have loved every second of this adventure and I cannot wait to see what the future holds for Sweet June!

For inquiring minds. June is the beautifully happy lady in the photos with me. I have the great pleasure of calling her Grandmom. She is by biggest fan, best example of a mom and the one who taught me to bake all those years ago. I don’t have a legacy of a daughter to give her name to, so the next best thing is the name of my business. She deserves so much more, but this way I am reminded of my sweet June on a daily basis.
