Mom in our commercial kitchen ♥️

When I talk about how our customers become clients over the years—and how those clients truly become our extended family—this is exactly what I mean.

My mom is The The Diabetic Pastry Chef™. Behind the scenes, she pours her heart into everything she bakes, insisting that everyone deserves sweets. She even occasionally accommodates gluten-free delivery and catering requests.

We have a massive, incredibly loyal base of real customers behind the scenes who have stayed by our side for years. Take this beautiful review, for example—we’ve known him for about five years now, first meeting at an outdoor market.

It’s that exact community love that earned us the unanimous vote for ‘Best Breakfast and Brunch in Pittsburgh’ across 326 neighborhoods on Nextdoor in both 2024 and 2025.

That didn’t happen because of a viral video or local press buzz; it happened because of my mom’s persistent reach in going out directly into the community, made possible by my hardworking and ever-helpful husband who literally delivers. From local markets to pop-ups, Mom is out there making genuine, real-life connections with thousands of customers face-to-face.

To everyone who has ordered a custom sweet potato pie, a fresh batch of cinnamon rolls or let us deliver to your doorstep year after year: thank you for being a part of our extended family. We love baking for you!❤️

Mom’s sugar-free baked goods and other goodies will be available at UPMC Kamin Tower launching in January and are a component of our delivery and catering business.

There is no dessert I feature that my mastermind of a mother does not transform into a sugar-free or reduced-sugar version. You absolutely have to taste her sugar-free creations to understand how mindblowing it is that these taste identical, almost identical or even better to their traditional counterparts. With Mom at the helm, you truly will not miss the sugar, and no one will be able to tell.

Many of our followers are our actual customers and clients and know this to be true. Tasting is believing!
