I’m Julie Mankey, the baker and creative mind behind Kitchen Vixen. My love for baking began in Southwestern Pennsylvania, where I learned side by side with my mom and grandmother—measuring by instinct, tasting as we went, and letting tradition shape every flavor. Those early experiences taught me that the best treats are made with care, curiosity, and attention to detail. Now based in Paw Paw, Michigan, Kitchen Vixen is my passion project and side business, dedicated to crafting unique, handcrafted sweet creations. Each batch is small, intentional, and designed to blend nostalgic comfort with a modern twist—perfect for celebrating life’s special moments or simply indulging in everyday joy.
