It all started in my grandma's kitchen... helping her make her Italian coconut pecan cake for my grandpa every year—a deliberate, sacred tradition that taught me the love of creating and attention to detail.

Now, as a self-taught baker going on 6 years , my craft has grown into a world of endless flavors, designs, and possibilities, but that same care, intention, and love guide every cake I create.

 My true goal is simple: to do what I love every day. I’ve learned that real growth comes from hands-on experience, small improvements, and showing up every single day.

If you see me around Des Moines, come say hi! I love chatting with people who share a love for creativity, craft, and bringing art and beauty to life.

That connection is what makes ParisCakes more than just dessert—it’s art, memory, and community.

Soon, I’ll also be opening doors to workshops, tastings, and specialty experiences, where you can step behind the scenes and explore the craft for yourself.
