Baking is a favorite, stress-relieving pastime and she self-published a baking cookbook ‘Just Frickin’ Bake It’ to bring out the baker in everyone. When not working, Dawn enjoys heading off on adventures with Bruce to discover new cultures, new food, new people and perhaps even the inspiration for a new book.
