About

I have always loved learning and hold a huge passion for any creative opportunities. I was born and raised in Southern California. My focus was interior design before marrying (Canadian husband, Frank) and moving to Canada permanently  in 2009. After becoming a stay at mom in 2010, I felt the urge to find a creative outlet so I began to explore baking, specifically  the design aspect to it really caught my attention. I started teaching myself decorative sugar cookies. Shortly after in 2012, I created a small home business that was located in St Albert, Alberta called Sweet Medley. Sweet Medley offered a range of baked goods from cookies to custom cakes.

In 2018 I took a short break to focus more on family. The break only lasted a couple years, I missed it so much that I decided to start baking again in 2021. I was refreshed and ready to go with a new name and fresh ideas! I instantly knew I wanted it to be called Wishes Bake Shop. I love the meaning behind the word wishes and everyone makes or has wishes! Birthday wishes are part of the birthday magic! I "wished" one day Wishes Bake Shop will open a storefront and it happened! Wishes opened its doors December 2, 2022!

One of my favorite things about my baking and decorating is that no two orders are alike! Each one has a creative expression and meaning behind it. I love being able to use creative ideas, images, exterior inspirations and turn them into edible art. Most importantly I love sharing a little piece of my heart and creativeness in every dessert with trust to make their moments a little sweeter. Thank you, this gift is never taken for granted.
