My name is Monique Findlayter. I’m the oldest of 5.
I was born in North York, raised in Scarborough and currently reside in Ajax.
I'm a ReadaholicMy love for reading started when I was in Grade 2. During the Summer months from Grades 3 to 8, I remember visiting the library and borrowing 20, 30 and 40 books at a time and finishing them within a week or two.
As I got older and life got more hectic, I was lucky if I was able to read five books a year. This year I made a resolution to read one book a week.
For the past few years I've been meaning to start a Book Club. Next month, 13 ladies will be joining me for our first Book Club meeting.
My earliest memory in the kitchen was at the age of 4 mixing Jell-O powder with hot water (under my Mom’s supervision of course). From there, I remember helping my Mom bake every chance I got.
As soon as I was able to operate the oven on my own, I started baking.
When I was either 13 or 15, I told myself that
one day I was going to run my own bakery.
Twenty years later, I may not have my own bakery (yet) but I
turned my hobby into a business. Back in 2006, I started Monique’s Cheesecakes. In 2011, I changed the
name to Simply Delicious. I now specialize in the 4 C's: Cakes, Cheesecakes, Cookies and Cupcakes. Thanks to my Mom and my late Grandmother for being my inspirations.I'm a Musicaholic
After a 7 year break, I finally started playing again. I was then encouraged to start teaching. September 1, 2007, I started Piano for Beginners.
People always tell me how lucky I am to be doing what I love. You too can do the same.
