The Origin Story

Hi, I’m Destinee

Born and Raised Austinite.

Baking Addict. Pastry Chef.

Whoopi Goldberg once said, " If you wake up in the morning, and you can't think of anything but singing first, then you're supposed to be a singer, girl..."

I know quoting Whoopi Goldberg (Sister Act 2) in my bio seems strange, but I heard that quote in 3rd grade and it was a lightbulb moment for me. I woke up every morning thinking about baking. Seriously, every morning, before I was even allowed to be in the kitchen!

So naturally, after learning as much as I could through TV, the internet, and my high school culinary class, I went to culinary school in 2013!

In 2015 I was inspired to try veganism and instantly I noticed an unacceptable shortage of good vegan treats in my area. So I decided to put my culinary skills to the test and make my own desserts!

After taking 2+ years to perfect my recipes, I opened my own bakery business-- soon realizing that I'd created a monster. I was receiving more orders than I could take and was blown away by the overwhelming support, positive reviews, and repeat clients. While it was stressful, I was overjoyed that I could reach people in this way! I could share my love of baking with the world, and help make my community members' celebrations that much more special!

But don't just take my word for it, check out the customer reviews!

Wait...this is Vegan?!

peanut butter cookies I started creating these recipes when I was a new vegan, so I still remembered what non-vegan desserts tasted like. I worked hard to make sure my desserts didn't taste "vegan" or feel like they were lacking anything. It took almost 2 years, but I have finally created a handful of crowd-pleasing, foolproof, delicious, vegan dessert recipes.

My friends and family call my desserts "The Vegan Gateway Drug". Because when people who are not vegan eat them, then find out it is 100% vegan, they become more open-minded & realize that the vegan diet isn't as boring or restrictive as most people think.

pony cake You don't need to use eggs or dairy to create delicious cookies or cakes, and if you have an allergy, you won't have to sacrifice flavor or miss out on the most important meal of the day. (Which is dessert if you were wondering.
