About Bittersweet

Bittersweet, on purpose.

Bittersweet Cakery was created in honor of my maternal grandmother, Willie Bessie Clara Franks. She raised nine children while surviving an abusive marriage and a life in which too many choices were taken from her.

This bakery is my way of turning the bitter into something beautiful—and helping others reclaim their choices. We make unapologetically plant-based cakes and cinnamon rolls in Austin, with 10% of every sale donated to The SAFE Alliance.

No dairy. No eggs. No sad little consolation desserts.
