Hi, my name is Gia! Welcome to Sugar Dumplin’ Bake Shop!
It has always been a lifelong dream of mine to own a bake shop. From my days of baking a two-bite birthday cake for my cousin in my Easy Bake Oven, to now developing and perfecting my own recipes, I was always extremely excited to share what I made with everyone around me.
Growing up I baked at every opportunity; school bake sales, family events, and even work potlucks. In high school, a teacher gave me my first paid gig making treats for her daughter's wedding shower. I was so proud of myself back then for landing my first gig, but I definitely will be keeping those first pro attempt photos under lock and key! This was the catalyst that made me realize I could have a career doing something I absolutely loved.
I continued to bake throughout the years for close family and friends, but after a "few" years, I was finally ready to offer Sugar Dumplin' cakes and other delectables to the public. I talked myself out of starting many times, but ultimately I wanted to be an example to my daughter Kenzley(2). I want her to see that it is possible to push past her fears and anxieties to fulfill her dreams as long as she is willing to work hard enough.
I love creating something that is not only visually appealing, but also delicious. I really enjoy a great slice of cake and want everyone to feel even greater joy when they bite into a slice of Sugar Dumplin'. I always strive to make treats that taste so good you have to pause and do a double take before diving in for a second bite. Everytime I bake I want to put a smile on my customers' faces whilst they celebrate a joyous life event. Whether it be a birthday, anniversary, wedding, or just because they want my scrumptious treats, I strive to create a lasting memory in every forkful.
We look forward to making Sugar Dumplin’ a part of you and your loved ones lifelong memory!
