My spouse and I absolutely loved the cake Ava made for our wedding! It was beautiful, delicious, and truly everything we could have hoped for. Ava was also so wonderful to work with; kind, thoughtful, and such a lovely person throughout the whole process.
And I’m being so serious when I say this: we love our baked treats, and this was genuinely one of the most delicious cakes we’ve ever had. 😂 If you’re looking for someone to create a beautiful (and incredibly delicious!) dessert for your wedding, I highly recommend reaching out to Ava. We couldn’t have been happier with our cake or with the experience of working with her!
Our wedding cake turned out beautiful and delicious! Ava was great to work with! Highly recommend!

I am a passionate advocate for sweets 😊 Since I was a little girl, I have always found such profound joy in being in the kitchen, and I knew that baking and pastry was going to be a big part of my life. I am a self- taught cake decorator, and that is something I take great pride in; I believe everyone can make their dreams come true if they show strong passion and are willing to put in the work for it. Nothing is more important to me than being able to produce what I love for the people I love, and for me, making my homemade, from-the-heart cakes and pastries for the people in my community does just that. I am also a full-time bilingual teacher in Spanish and English. I could not be happier to work in both the classroom with my students as well as in the kitchen making desserts for couples. My career as both a business owner and educator is a significant representation of who I am. I want to make a difference in my students' lives, and I want to make a difference for you. Your wedding day is one of the most memorable days in your life, and I want to help make your day as magical as it should be.
