Thank you for all the love, loyalty, and celebrations you’ve shared with us. 💛 Nicole Paradisa is the owner and pastry chef at Colie's Cakes & Pastries. She graduated in Denver, CO, with an AS in Baking and Pastry as well as a BS in Business Management. After graduation, she packed up her memories and returned home to earn some ‘dough,’ while still in search for a Pastry Chef position elsewhere. H
owever, she was not aware of the impact her small hometown would have on her sweet talent as she share through pastries.
Nicole had the privilege of working with some top chefs in the Denver area. Places like Babettes Artisan Breads where she learned their craft of artesian breads, The Brown Palace where she learned mass production of bread baking, and was a Pastry Chef at the number one steakhouse in Denver, Guard and Grace. Late 2016, Nicole took a small leap of faith and became a licensed bakery. Colie's Cakes & Pastries is located in southern most city of Colorado along the I-25 corridor, Trinidad. Final business day for Colie's: December 23, 2025.
