Trap Haus Sweets & Baking Co.

03/08/2022

When it comes to decorating cakes, the possibilities are infinite. I have the most fun when I'm given the artistic freedom to do the absolute most - but I've also found joy in the unique visions & associated challenges presented by each customer's unique request.

I'm most inspired by metallics, glitter & fresh living elements, such as plants & flowers. I LIVE for a good gold leaf moment. And, absolutely adore anything sparkly. Overall, I enjoy any & everything aesthetically pleasing, which is what I strive to achieve in everything I bake.

Here we have my most requested cake design - Marbled buttercream with edible gold splatter. Green has definitely become my favorite combo for this. There's something about the way the gold pops out. Add in some 24K gold?! issa wrap.

Equally, I’m just as adamant that the cake guts be as extravagant as the design. Inside, we had a Neapolitan Cake. The first layer being Belgian Chocolate. The second, Toasted Sugar + Madagascan Vanilla. And 3rd, Wild Strawberry. We frosted between each layer with Semi Sweet Swiss Meringue and covered the outside in our signature Madagascan Vanilla + Brown Buttercream.

I know I say it time and time again, but it’s truly a blessing to be a part of such monumental, important moments in each of your lives. I don't take the honor lightly. Thank you again for continuing to trust Trap Haus Sweets!! Now who's gonna make me the happiest baker ever and order a damn cake?!

Happy March my sugs! It's been a while since we've reopened preorders for our standing menu, but I’m happy to announce we're back with the sweets you know and love! After taking some time off to expand fully into Custom Cakes, we're back with our beloved + !

In honor of , each of March's features were inspired & created with a couple ladies in my life, in mind.

Kicking it off with our , these decadent cookies have my boo Shaina | written all over them. As my first ever paying customer, (back when I was giving away pies for free) Shaina refused to accept my dessert without compensating me first. Though it was a simple gesture, the reminder to always acknowledge my time and worth, stuck. As a founding supporter, customer and friend, she's softly guided and provided helpful critiques to many of desserts. One being my , a customer favorite from my founding menu & one I created inspired by a fav of mine at . When she suggested a similar recipe a couple months back, I knew the had to make their way onto the menu.

The is a menu item I've kept in my arsenal for a little over a year now. Inspired by my BFFL with two of her favorite things and the trips we plan to take in mind 😂, this dessert felt like the perfect combo to represent this powerhouse. For those who recall our in 2021, I could rave about Simone all day - she continues to be a founding supporter & reason behind Trap Haus Sweets being here today. As a fellow small business owner, newish muva & the bougiest Pisces to walk this earth, Simone has consistently held me accountable, been a listening ear & guiding hand throughout my journey. I simply couldn’t end this month without dedicating a dessert to her.

If you told me I’d be running my own baking business in 2019, chileeeeee. But here we are!

In December of 2019, I decided to end a career within the non-profit fundraising sector & did a very un-virgo like thing. I took a “leap of faith”, left my home city & chose to work as tour management support for a 2 month semi-international tour, with the plan locked & ready to begin my own consulting business once i’d returned home.

After traveling across the US + Canada and driving 12K plus miles cross country, I returned to Minneapolis only to be met with an even newer reality, what we all soon came to know as covid.

I’d only been in Minneapolis about 2 weeks before I sat my ass down into what became quarantine. tbh, I was devastated. It was a hard transition & not the homecoming I’d expected. Without the ability to reconnect, ya girl got into her baking bag along with every other person in America. After 2 months of perfecting my banana bread skills for the gawds & -ing myself into oblivion, I came up with the idea of baking pies for my loved ones as a way to reconnect … and keep a sliver of my sanity 😂

I chose my Grandma Dona’s and my Grandma Barb’s with a twist of my own, (which soon became our ) as my treats of choice. Both of my grandmothers would share and show their love by baking with and for me as a child. It felt like no better way to share the love with my people than through the connection food brings.

From May 21st-24th of 2020, I baked and delivered 58 personal & family sized pies to my loved ones, chosen fam + community throughout the , free of charge. In the wake of ’s murder & the uprising that followed, I continued to bring pies to my community as mini “pick me ups” & a way for us to stay connected at a safe distance.

With the love & unwavering support of my community, I soon found myself creating - today marking 1 year! It felt only right to bring us back to basics for the with our OG Pies.
