The Mockingbird Bakery Story
The Mockingbird Bakery Story
“A good book and a cup of coffee is my idea of heaven. Throw in a warm baked good – bliss.”

Crafting connections with flour and butter
My love for baking was sparked in my mother’s kitchen. With every batch of Christmas cookies we crafted for friends and family, I saw how people could connect through the art of baking.
This realization led me to pursue a mastery in baking, including:
A certificate in Patisserie & Baking from Le Cordon Bleu Texas Culinary Academy
A prestigious internship at Colette’s Cakes in New York City
A position decorating cakes alongside the amazing Milette Raz at Alliance Bakery in Chicago
Building a community around baking and books
I dreamed of bringing my passions for baking and connection to Rochester, IL. Beyond selling pastries, I envisioned a place where all can gather, slow down, and enjoy life.
In 2021, we opened the doors to Mockingbird Bakery—named for one of the best novels of all time, To Kill a Mockingbird.
It’s my heart and soul poured into handmade baked goods. When you visit, you’ll find a bookshelf stocked with books, cozy spots to connect with friends, and handcrafted coffee and pastries to warm your heart.
