Handmade Desserts that are Delicious Defined.

Janine Knop – aka “Miss NiNi” – developed a passion for baking in her youth. Over the years, that passion has done nothing but intensify, leading to the establishment of Miss NiNi’s Fine Desserts.

 

Just one look at Miss NiNi’s baking background validates her standing as a master in the kitchen:

 

  • Taught to bake while tugging on the apron strings of her homemaker mother

  • Award winning 4-H food exhibitor

  • Bachelor of Science degree in Home Economics Education with a minor in Food and Nutrition

  • Taught daughters baking skills that enabled them to become local and state champion 4-H bakers

  • Developed creative dessert recipes as freelance home economist

  • Championship competitive dessert baker

The Miss NiNi legend has grown over the years to include customers from coast-to-coast, and a number of Grand Champion Awards in the baking competitions at the Iowa State Fair, the largest food competition of its kind in the United States.

Each recipe lovingly approved by Mr. Fred

The Miss NiNi legend has grown over the years to include customers from coast-to-coast, and a number of Grand Champion Awards in the baking competitions at the Iowa State Fair, the largest food competition of its kind in the United States.

 

But her biggest fan resides under her roof. Mr. Fred has been Miss NiNi's most willing taste-tester since the 1970s.

From decadent cheesecakes and glorious layer cakes to dessert breads, cookies (he even has one named after him!), brownies, bars and pies, Mr. Fred takes pride in giving a big thumbs up to everything that comes out of Miss NiNi's kitchen.

A farmer who has tended to crops and prized lambs for decades, today Mr. Fred enjoys taste-testing, serving alongside Miss NiNi in their Coffee-Via-Cart business, and spending time with his daughters and grandchildren.

With just one bite, we are confident you will see what keeps Mr. Fred smiling ... it's those Miss NiNi’s Fine Desserts!

The Foundation of Each Dessert is Family.

Janine Knop, aka Miss NiNi, grew up on the prairies of North Dakota learning to bake alongside her mother. As her passion for baking delicious treats grew, so did her creative flair in the kitchen.

She is a graduate of North Dakota State University with a degree in Home Economics Education and a minor in Food and Nutrition. She served as a home economist for an upper Midwest power company promoting the use of electrical kitchen appliances through television, radio and cooking schools.

As an Atlantic-area farm wife, mother, and grandmother, she has honed her baking skills in her own kitchen by creating and testing hundreds of dessert recipes. 

Miss NiNi has been awarded numerous championship ribbons in the food department at the Iowa State Fair, the largest food competition of its kind in the United States. Her passion for dessert baking served as the catalyst which led to the creation of the nationally-known brand Miss NiNi's Fine Desserts.

Today she continues to share her passion for baking with a new generation by always welcoming her grandchildren into the kitchen. For Miss NiNi, the foundation of every delicious dessert is family.
