What Clients Are Saying

  • We had an amazing experience at Chef Jackie’s cream puff and éclair class! It was interactive, surprisingly educational, and the end result was absolutely delicious. 10/10 would recommend. What stood out most was Chef Jackie’s incredible ability to adapt and create an inclusive, welcoming atmosphere for all. Our group included my mother-in-law from Argentina, who doesn’t speak English, a potential challenge in most settings. With no notice and without missing a beat, Jackie added Spanish (she’s nearly fluent!), tweaked the music, and turned the class into a bilingual experience. Her cultural awareness and thoughtful hosting made it enjoyable for everyone. Truly impressive!

    Kevin Vaughan-Carber

  • We had the pleasure of having Chef Jackie for an in-home macaron baking class, and she deserves a Michelin star in patience alone. Our group was large, enthusiastic, and mildly chaotic, but Jackie handled us like a seasoned pro (with a piping bag in one hand and a smile in the other). Highly recommend this experience if you want to learn, laugh, and leave with a sugar high

    Abby

  • Jackie made us a beautiful 3 foot cake for a friend’s graduation party. She is incredibly talented, creative and a joy to work with. Her cake is amazing. My partner said “this is what real cake tastes like!” She uses high quality ingredients and makes beautiful work.

    Nicole S.

  • I first tried one of Jackie’s cakes at a friend’s birthday and it was so incredible, I immediately ordered a custom cake from her for an upcoming anniversary. It was a huge hit and was devoured in silence because we were just blown away! Her intricate flavors and delicate details are like none other you’ve ever experienced. So beautifully made and so unbelievably delicious! Highly highly recommend! Also, she personally delivered to my house on the day I needed it, which I thought was above and beyond!
