We specialize in delicious home-baked goods with a Latin American flare. The traditional items we make are custom cakes, cupcakes, gourmet cookies, and other pastries. Our Latin American pastries are alfajores, pastelitos, sweet empanadas, gourmet conchas, cupcake conchas, and many more. We are most known for our French macarons, alfajores, and conchas. We are most proud of our ability to take traditional pastries and combine them with our Latin culture through flavors or taking traditional Latin American pastries and combine them with local flavors. Our culture is a mixture of our heritage (Peruvian, Mexican, Puerto Rican) and our upbringing (Californian) and we like to share that with our community through pastries. At Sweet Story Company, our mission is to be more than just a local bakery – we are a bridge that connects our community to the rich tapestry of Latin American culture through the universal language of food. Rooted in our passion for culinary craftsmanship and cultural heritage, we dedicate ourselves to crafting baked goods and food that not only satisfy palates but also tell stories, evoke memories, and celebrate the vibrant diversity of Latin America. It all started with a wife who loves to bake and a husband who loves to travel. In 2019, Ursula started baking custom cakes for friends and family. After an amazing family trip to Peru, the course of our bakery changed forever. We returned only to find ourselves craving the unique pastries and exotic fruits found only in Latin American countries. It became our mission to share our passion for the pastries and flavors of our culture with those around us. In 2021, our life took a couple of unexpected turns. We were blessed with a pregnancy and Fernando had an impending deployment scheduled. We needed help. What our family did is truly priceless and no amount of words will ever describe how grateful we feel. Family came from far and wide to keep our dream going through the birth of our baby girl and what felt like a never-ending deployment. Today, we are not just Ursula and Fernando’s Sweet Story Company. We are a veteran-owned small business. We are a bakery with a passion for introducing our culture to others through our pastries. We are a support system, a team, a family. We believe that every bite should be an experience, a journey that transcends borders and brings people together. Our commitment is to create traditional Latin American pastries, cakes, and food with our own California twist that will resonate with the flavors of home, no matter where one’s roots lie. With each creation, we share a slice of our heritage, inviting our community to explore, savor, and connect with the mosaic of traditions that make up our Latin American identity. Guided by our passion, integrity, and the spirit of sharing, we strive to curate a warm and welcoming environment where people from all walks of life can gather, converse, and create memories. By offering a taste of Latin America’s culinary treasures, we aim to foster cultural appreciation, enrich lives, and build bridges that strengthen the bonds of our diverse community. Ultimately, our mission is to create more than baked goods and food; we aspire to cultivate a sense of community through the shared joy of flavors that celebrate the depth and richness of Latin American culture. At Sweet Story Company, our purpose is to empower palates and embrace cultures, leaving an indelible mark on hearts and palates alike. Our baked goods and food are meticulously handcrafted by skilled artisans who share a deep appreciation for the art of baking. With a commitment to using premium ingredients and unique recipes, we ensure that each creation embodies the flavors and textures that define the essence of Latin American cuisine. Beyond the delicious flavors, we are passionate about sharing the stories and traditions that accompany each dish. Every item on our menu tells a tale of how present generations build upon traditional recipes, inviting customers to embark on a journey of cultural exploration and growth with every bite. Sweet Story Company is more than just a place to satisfy cravings; it’s a hub where individuals feel like family, where abuelita thinks you don’t eat enough and asks you why you’re not married yet. We foster a welcoming and warm atmosphere where members of the community become family. Whether it’s café con pan for breakfast, a custom cake for a special occasion, or wholesale orders for local businesses, we pride ourselves on providing personalized service that meets the unique needs of our customers. Our goal is to create memorable experiences that exceed expectations. We believe that food has the power to create lasting memories. By infusing our baked goods and food with the flavors of Latin America, we aspire to be a part of the milestones, celebrations, and everyday moments that shape the lives of our customers. [read more]

In the 1940s, Evelyn Overton found a recipe in her local Detroit newspaper that inspired her “Original” cheesecake. Everyone loved her recipe so much she decided to open a small bakery, but eventually gave it up to focus on raising her children, David and Renee. She moved her baking equipment to her basement kitchen and continued to sell cakes to some of the best restaurants in town. In 1972, Evelyn and her husband Oscar moved to Los Angeles to try one last time to have their own business. With the last of their savings, they opened The Cheesecake Factory Bakery and began selling Evelyn’s cheesecakes to restaurants throughout L.A. Their son David decided to open a restaurant in Beverly Hills in 1978 to showcase his mother’s cakes. Somehow, he just knew that a restaurant with an extensive dessert menu would be a hit. There was a line out the door on opening day. More than forty years later, many say the line has never stopped! [read more]

The Kilted Cake was founded in November 2012 by owners Josh & Vanessa Holtkamp. Vanessa has been a longtime baker of cakes, cookies, and all things sweet, but decided to take things to the next level when she began working at Pila's Pantry, our former store. After working for Pila's for several years, Vanessa and her husband Josh realized a passion and joy working in this industry and took the plunge in purchasing the shop. And so, The Kilted Cake was born! Maintaining a great relationship with the previous owners Pila’s Pantry (who maintain a store location in Norco, CA), we are dedicated to serving the Temecula, Murrieta, and surrounding areas. We are proud to continue our tradition of quality products, friendly service, and decorating classes. We offer a variety of decorating products for cakes, cupcakes, cookies and candies in addition to creating custom cakes for all occasions and offering decorating classes. Not only do we wish to inspire our community to follow their confectionery passions, we are committed to giving back to our community through charities, fundraisers, and other special events.
