I come from generations of women who bake ~ women who bake with the reckless abandon of an overabundance of fat, sugar, and cookbook-prescribed shortcuts that did no favors for our health. But with each generation, we have improved the process, incorporating internationally inspired flavors and strengthening our techniques to try something different. My aim is to use less sugar, take a science-based approach that enhances the baking process without compromising flavor, and find other ways to sweeten treats without artificial sweeteners but with greater precision in the methodology instead.

When people think of baked goods, we often think cake OR croissants, bread OR candy ~ but at Midnight Mariposa, we are trained to do it all! I am often asked what my favorite thing is to bake. And while we specialize in custom order cakes, amazingly unique baked goods, and other sweet & savory pastries; I think my favorites are when I can try new and unique variations of cinnamon rolls, easy but quirky drop cookies to share with friends, and large cake projects that take days to complete.

We believe that a custom order calls for dedicated time and precision to create a product and an experience that is truly one of a kind. We carefully tend to what we do to make sure the commitment we put forth represents the love we hope our baked goods bring to you. So if you’re looking for a cookie-cutter (no pun intended) baked good, we may not have what you want. But if you want something one-of-a-kind for a special celebration or just because, we’re here to help directly from our kitchen!
