About Stacey
Hello! I am so excited that you found Sweet Stacey's Bake Shop. I have had a life-long love of mine to feed people and make them smile. I forced many adults to enjoy the mud-clay mud pies even that I made after a rainy day! Luckily, my baking has improved. :) I am very proudly a graduate of Auguste Escoffier, School of Culinary Arts with a Diploma in Pastry Arts.
Why baking? And what am I thinking about when I create?
When I bake, I honor all those bakers that I watched for hours on weekend mornings in front of the windows of the Knott's Berry Farm bakery. I smile as I reflect on me begging to be allowed to stand and stare way longer than my brother and folks wanted to watch the cake decorating being performed. To me, it was magic. I thank my dad for endlessly driving me to Knott's and allowing me to watch the sugary treats being produced. After all the cakes were decorated, I was allowed to move to the other side of the courtyard at Knott's and watch the chocolate makers make the most fudgy and delicious things that I had ever seen in my life! And, when my dad got tired of propping me up so that I could see through the windows, Mr. Knott often appeared to do the heavy lifting of me...until he was called back to work by Mrs. Knott. Oh the memories! But, the rush of seeing cake decorating and treat making has never gotten old--when I am not baking, teaching or taking Pilates classes or daydreaming about treats, I am often found gawking at someone creating their wonderful desserts.
How Did We Start Baking Vegan Treats?
Why vegan? One of my beautiful daughters is vegan and she challenges herself to create wonderful vegan treats. Because I bake as well, I was forwarded a "Vegan Concha" recipe and I decided to make it and surprise her with it. It was the most delicious pastry that I ever tasted. And, to see the smile on her face as she ate it was priceless. In honor of this daughter and the many others that have chosen to have a vegan lifestyle, I bake vegan creations.
Frequently Asked Questions
Because every item is made by hand in small batches, appearances may vary slightly—but taste and quality are always top-notch.

For custom orders, we will need the full payment of your order price prior to us beginning our baking of your products. By the time of ordering, Sweet Stacey's Bake Shop will have chatted enough with you to understand your needs and quote you the proper price to pay.

How long will my baked goods last? Because these are baked fresh and with no preservatives, care must be taken. When stored properly, many of these items will last for several days. Along with the ingredient list, typed suggestions will be given to you on how to store your items. However, the fresher the better so I truly recommend that you eat them within the first day or two. (Incidentally, I am known to double-wrap or triple-wrap my own individual travel goody and pop it into the freezer to freeze it....and then toss it into my pocket to thaw as I take a run or stroll to a coffee shop. On the walk back, I have my iced coffee in one hand and my delicious now-nearly thawed treat in the other hand. My exercising is so much more fun this way!)
