Customer Reviews

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

    — Rachel T., Paso Robles, CA

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

    — Audrey R., Atascadero, CA

  • 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.

    — Theresa M., San Luis Obispo

  • 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.

    — Paul T., Eugene, Oregon

  • 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!
