Carmen is an AMAZING pastry chef! She baked the most incredible, top quality, and delicious treats I have ever tasted! I ordered a variety of items from her for a family getaway to Avila Beach, and the basket she delivered was jaw dropping. The presentation was gorgeous. We had her fresh rosemary and garlic bread, palmier, apple tarts, caramelized banana bread, chocolate chip cookies, a variety of cupcakes and fig jam. Every single item was devoured happily. It was one of the highlight of our trip. I highly recommend you call Carmen!

I ordered a French pastry-style cake from Carmen to celebrate my parents’ anniversary at a winery in Paso Robles. From start to finish, the experience was exceptional. The cake was not only beautifully crafted, but every bite was a delight—elegant, fresh, and flavorful. Delivery was smooth and on time, and the service was professional and attentive. My parents were thrilled, and it made their celebration truly memorable. I couldn’t recommend Carmen more for anyone looking to elevate a special occasion with a stunning cake.

I couldn’t attend the wedding, so I wanted the dessert experience to be memorable for everyone celebrating. Carmen’s website caught my eye from Charleston, SC, and I’m so glad I reached out. The cake she created was incredible—elegant, not overly sweet, with amazing flavor twists. Delivery and service were flawless, and it truly made the celebration unforgettable. Highly recommend!

I’ve had many different things from Carmen on different occasions. From bread to sweets and they are all wonderful. Nothing like scratch made and fresh baked bread. Shared some with family back hope and they are all now ordering from Carmen. Any time I’m in town I look forward to treating myself.

I couldn’t be there for my parents’ anniversary, but I wanted the dessert to be memorable. I found Carmen’s website from Portland, Maine, and her cake was elegant, perfectly balanced—not overly sweet—with creative flavor twists. Delivery and service were flawless, making the celebration truly special. Highly recommend.

We wanted something savory and celebratory—and Carmen delivered a centerpiece that had everyone talking (and eating) until the last crumb.

No frosting, no sweetness—but somehow it still felt like the most ‘cake’ thing we’ve ever served. Layers, flavor, and total wow factor.

Everyone asked what it was and where I got it. It felt totally custom, super fun, and exactly right for the vibe we were going for.
