meet the team

Sweet & Shop Shop is made up of an amazing group of women and men that are in love with taking flour, butter and sugar and turning it into a delicious art piece you can eat!

We have home taught bakers whose passions have led them to dream about doing their hobby as a full time job, artists who stopped creating with paper and pens and decided to use sugar paste and edible gold leaf as their new medium of choice, and pastry chefs who knew what they wanted to do and trained to perfect their hands at mixing, baking and cupcake making. Each and every one of us comes to work each day excited to help our customers take their dessert dreams and make them into reality.

Whether it is a first birthday smash cake, a mini dessert bar, custom sugar cookies or a 3 feet tall cake we take pride in bringing to life each order and love seeing the photos onsite and getting the “thank you” emails knowing we got to be a small part of a big day for someone! We love getting to deliver all over Southern California and have found that Bixby Knolls and the people who live in it are right where we feel at home and love being your neighborhood bakery!
