It all began in New Orleans, Louisiana, where my paternal grandmother was born. She would go on to become a wife, mother of seven, grandmother, sister, auntie, and friend—the original girl boss. From cooking and baking to keeping a household running, she did it all with love and unwavering dedication.

Her tireless work ethic is in my blood. What started as a simple side hustle—baking—soon grew into a passion I didn’t know I was missing. It became more than just a business; it became a tribute to the legacy of strong women before me.

I would insert a photo of us, but she’s a true Creole Queen. “Little girl, don’t be putting no picture of me on no Facebook or nothin!” So for now, please enjoy another photo of our Old Fashioned Pound Cake with Icing.
