While growing up in Durham, North Carolina, Jessica Simmons loved to be in the kitchen with her mother and grandmothers helping, learning, and most importantly, tasting everything they made. Jessica’s talent for baking came naturally and she took pride in making friends and family smile as they enjoyed her home baked goodies. Jessica created Southern Lady Sweets to share her gift with a larger audience. She provides tried and true old fashioned recipes that have been perfected throughout the years.
