Meet Sweet Caroline

I'm a pastry chef, recipe developer, and lifelong baker with a passion for creating desserts that bring people together. I first fell in love with baking when I was 12 years old, and what started as a hobby quickly became my favorite creative outlet.

After earning my degree in Marketing from the University of Arizona, I moved to Paris to study pastry at Le Cordon Bleu.

I love creating and sharing recipes that bring together classic techniques with flavors that feel fun and approachable. Whether I'm creating a new seasonal dessert, baking for family and friends, or testing recipes in my kitchen, my goal is to help others experience the joy that baking has always brought me.

Thanks for stopping by, I'm so glad you're here!

Chapter at Le Cordon Bleu

In June 2025, I began my year at Le Cordon Bleu in Paris, France, where I studied Pastry for nine months before completing the Boulangerie program during the final three. In July 2026, I graduated from both superior programs.

My time at Le Cordon Bleu allowed me to refine my techniques, learn from world class chefs, and draw inspiration from traditional French pastry while continuing to develop my own creative style.

After graduation, I returned to Arizona, excited to apply everything I learned and see where this next chapter takes me!
