My name is Carlene O’Garro and my passion for cakes started at home in our family kitchen. My mom is my inspiration and even to this day I still ask her for her opinion. My mother would use box cake, which she would let me color with various food colorings and experiment with different flavoring extracts. At a young age, my parents purchased an Easy Bake Oven for me so I could practice and experiments on my own. Of course, they had the wonderful pleasure of being my tasters for years. As I got older, my passion never left. I went on to college and graduated with two degrees and had my sights set for Law School. But in my heart, I knew law wasn’t for me. I enrolled at Cambridge School of Culinary Arts with a concentration in pastries and the rest is HERstory. I graduated CSCA second in my class and immediately started my pastry business as a home based business. About two years ago, I decided to open my first retail location in West Roxbury, MA. My entire family came to volunteered their time to help with the buildout and I couldn’t have been more grateful. My little cake shop was built on love and a vision which was to create beautiful tasting cakes, delectable pastries and amazing customer service. When you love what you do, its never work. I get to play in flour, butter and sugar all day and I wouldn’t change it for the world.
