A Chicago native, Penny obtained her Culinary Diploma at Le Cordon Bleu in Paris, France. After traveling all over the world to taste the best desserts and earning her Masters in Gastronomy, Penny couldn't wait to return to the US and share her passion.

Here's to enjoying sinfully delicious desserts without the "sin!"

  • "Penny made the cake for my baby's first birthday party and it was delicious! It was hard to find a pastry chef who would make a cake without adding refined sugars or artificial sweeteners, so I wasn't sure it was even a good idea. But Penny sweetened my cake with only maple syrup, and everyone loved it! Guests were going back for seconds. The cake was moist and just the right amount of sweet. Penny also did tell me that she doesn't specialize in decorating, but she still made the cake look really nice. Communication was quick and easy; Penny was kind and polite. I will be back for more cakes and pastries from Penny for future events!"

  • "My sister loved it for her birthday. Best of all, it was a diabetic cake. It is so difficult to find a diabetic bakery. Highly recommend. Thank you, Penny, you did an amazing job!"

    -Dee C. | Chicago, IL

  • "After an exhausting search for Chicago's best bakeries, I found that most top picks did not work/deliver on Tuesdays and a Tuesday cake was non-negotiable for me, thank Goddess came across Penny! She was traveling and had personal commitments, but was still generous enough to agree to a chocolate vegan cake on a tight timeline. Coordination was impeccable and easy. In line with all the comments, the cake was perfection. Friends who are not vegan and in their words "not cake people" were "SHOOOOOK!" and "had way more than they should" - if you are reading this, you know what to do. ;)"

    -Diana M. | Chicago, IL

  • "Penny was great to work with. The paleo dark chocolate ganache brownies were delicious -- the perfect elevated dessert for my friend's birthday celebration!"
