KD, the baker behind KD Sweets

About the baker

Hi, I'm Kelly!

I traded a lab coat for an apron — but I never stopped thinking like a scientist.

Before KD Sweets, I spent years in lab science, where precision wasn't optional — it was the whole job. When I moved into pastry, I brought that mindset with me. I hold an associate's degree in culinary and pastry arts, I've taught baking, and I currently co-direct catering at Diablo Valley Community College.

The thing I care about most hasn't changed: getting the ratios, the technique, and the flavor exactly right, for every single batch. Whether it's a character cake for a six-year-old's birthday or a box of chocolates for a classy holiday party, you're getting scientific precision — just aimed at something sweeter.

The journey

How KD Sweets began

KD Sweets didn't start with a business plan, it started with birthday cakes for friends and family. Word spread quickly, and what began as baking for people Kelly knew turned into requests from people all over the Bay Area.

As the requests kept coming, KD Sweets grew into something bigger: a recognized name for custom cakes and treats across the East Bay. Today, Kelly bakes year-round for birthdays, holidays, and every occasion in between — bringing the same care to every order, whether it's her hundredth cake or someone's first time ordering from her.
