Ever since I was a little girl baking with my late father, I’ve dreamed of opening a bakery. For the past four years, when not fulfilling my duties as a single mother to an amazing little boy, I’ve been operating as Willow & Olivia, an online bakery creating gourmet sweet treats with the help of my very supportive friends and family who I refer to as my fairies. For many years, I’ve been waiting for my dream to become a reality.
I’m asking for your help in creating my fairy tale ending. I’m raising money to open a storefront in Livingston NJ so that customers have a physical location to experience a piece of the fairy tale. The location has a wonderful view, ample parking, and is in a very family oriented and diverse community.
Please help me make my dream a reality – I look forward to you becoming a part of my fairy tale ending and allowing me to create magic just as I did with my father many years ago. Thank you for your support.
Best Wishes,
Gia and the Fairies of Willow & Olivia
Willow & Olivia Creations is an online bakery located in New Jersey. We’ve only been in business for four years but we’ve already picked up the award for “Best Dessert 2015” in Jersey City, NJ and the “Best Table-scape” award at the NJ Dessert Expo 2014.
Willow & Olivia Creations got it’s start on Z100 Elvis Duran & The Morning Show, after Gia the owner, decided one day to take a change and bake up a few of her amazing Cake Truffles and hand deliver them to the morning show. Needless to say before she even got back to her car, Elvis and the gang were eating her Cake Truffles on air and raving about them.
At Willow & Olivia Creations we take extreme pride and care when baking our sweet treats. Only the freshest and purest ingredients are used. We use locally farmed eggs and organic ingredients. At Willow & Olivia Creations we make our cakes exactly the same way the they do in Trinidad & Tobago, but adding our own twist.
Currently, we are an online bakery providing mail order and delivery services. People are constantly emailing and calling to ask for the location of out store. After hustling for four years, we are raising money to open our first brick-and-mortar Dessert Café in New Jersey.
At Willow & Olivia we believe in community. As a small business we depend greatly on the community to keep us going, this is why Willow & Olivia have chosen Childhood Cancer as our charity focus. We believe every child should have a a magical childhood no matter what they are faced with.
