Hi! I'm Kyrsten :)

The “sweets” business is the only business I’ve ever known.

I’ve been decorating cakes professionally for over 15 years!

​

I come from a family who loves dessert. We believe that if you eat something savory, it must be followed with sweet :)

I have always found great joy in creating pretty little works of art that (best of all) you could EAT! So when considering my career ambitions, it came naturally that I wanted to pursue my love for serving people with personalized sweets!

​

While most of my experience in the early years was gained from working for several small bakeries and cake shops (where I quickly discovered my knack for the fine details of cake and cookie artistry!), I also have a Bachelor’s degree in Baking & Pastry Arts which I received from Johnson & Wales University in Providence, RI

​

While living in Rhode Island, I also met my (now) husband :) We got married in Hershey, PA in October of 2010 and soon after, moved to Pennsylvania to settle down closer to family.

​

In 2012, Kyrsten's Sweet Designs was born!

​

My kitchen is registered and licensed through the PA Department of Agriculture, and I run the business full-time from my in-home studio in Mechanicsburg, PA.

​

I do all of the baking, decorating and delivering myself and only take on a few projects each weekend. This way I can guarantee:

1) Freshness  – I bake my cakes, cupcakes and cookies fresh every week from scratch, using all-natural, high quality (locally sourced, when able) ingredients.

& 2) Quality – I manage my time so that every client and every sweet project gets the appropriate amount of attention.

​

I believe that flavor is just as important as appearance.

​

I thoroughly enjoy what I do and I believe that if you love what you do, that joy overflows into your work :-)

Every event and every client is different, but the end result always has the same goal – the perfect cake that will put a smile on everyone’s face :-)
