I love creating desserts for people to enjoy. I found it especially satisfying to make chocolate goodies for my mother, a self-proclaimed chocoholic.
In 2016, with the support of my friends and family, I started Truffles & More. I began slowly by doing a few pop-ups & farmers’ markets. My enthusiastic customers soon insisted that I supply my cakes and desserts at their weddings, parties, and other events.
It was going well. Then in March 2019, Covid happened.
As we all know, weddings, parties, farmers’ markets, and pop-ups stopped happening.
I responded by having Covid-safe pop-ups in front of my home, which my neighbors, in particular, were happy to enjoy. I also joined Bakers Against Racism and joined in with their monthly outdoor Sunday markets, which helped bakers to survive the Covid lockdown while also helping others.
Truffles & More made it through.
In June 2021, I was able to start a shared storefront at the Old Ballard Blossom location on Market Street. A space that became known as the Ballard Collective. This first, albeit temporary, brick-and-mortar space was a critical step in my journey.
A year later, with the success of that shared storefront and the support of my customers, Truffles & More is moving to a new location in the heart of Ballard! My shop opened on June 4, 2022, at 5510 22nd Ave NW.
I am thrilled to have earned over 50 glowing 5-star reviews on Google and created many happy customers.
Sadly, due to family health issues, I had to close my shop on March 23, 2025.
However, I will continue to make desserts to order. I look forward to creating even more HAPPY customers in 2025 and beyond.
I’d love for you to enjoy my delectable, crave-worthy desserts, including Vegan and gluten-free goodies. I am committed to using the highest quality ingredients, such as high-quality European chocolate, Madagascar vanilla, cage-free eggs, and beet sugar.
You can still order desserts from Truffles & More. Go here to order.
The new occupants of my old shop, Thread Hunters, have generously offered to be the pickup location for your dessert orders.
