About Me

Hi, I’m Kristin! Born and raised in Southwest Louisiana, I’m proud to call this special corner of the world my home. My Cajun heritage plays a huge role in shaping my passion for food. Whether it’s the savory traditions of my roots or the sweet delights I'm baking, I pour my heart into every creation. After a decade spent living in Houston, Texas, I returned to SWLA in 2008 with my husband, ready to build our life back where it all began for me.
Today, I wear many hats as a baker, wife, mom to two wonderful kids (and a proud stepmom!), author currently in the process of writing multiple cookbooks, and partner in running our small family farm. Life here is always busy, but that’s just how we like it—filled with family, flavor, adventure and lots of love.
At my bakery, I specialize in crafting cakes, cookies, pies, and all the treats that bring people together. But what truly excites me is my Edible Marketing service—a creative way to help local small businesses and larger corporations make their mark. Through custom-designed edible treats, I combine my baking expertise with a flair for helping others grow. Whether it’s branded cookies for a client meeting or themed desserts for an event, I’m thrilled to support our community with unique, delicious marketing solutions.
From fundraisers to corporate events, birthdays to business branding, I’m here to make every moment a little sweeter for my fellow Louisianians. Thank you for stopping by, and I hope my creations bring as much joy to your life as they do to mine!
