My name is Shalon Brenée Maxile, I am a mother, a wife, a new "Gigi", and an active member in my community.  I have been baking for over 30+ years.  Initially, I started baking to help pay my rent and make ends meet when I was a young, single mother of one and then two sons.  Then life happened... I met a wonderful guy, we got married and BOOM... I had twins.  During a volunteer activity at our local high school, a friend encouraged me to rekindle my passion for baking.  I needed a side hustle to start saving for my 2 daughters that would be going to college amongst so many other things.  So, I started back baking for family and friends.  The word got out and here we are!!!  Fast forward, my girls have both graduated college and I have officially moved my little side hustle into a full small business... FINALLY. 

 I LOVE TO BAKE.  Being in the kitchen reminds me of all the time I spent with my grandmothers in their kitchens.  My Grandmother (Ma Bit) taught me how to bake.  She was so much fun and we would always have a good time in the kitchen.  My Grandmother (Bessie Lee) would bake hot buttermilk biscuits every morning and evening.  I loved the way they smelled and then later in life I met my Grandmother (Ernestine) and we would spend hours on the phone talking about any and everything, especially the things that we desired and loved to do.  Now, when I bake, I think about the wisdom that my Grandmother's poured into me.  I also LOVE to listen to Fantasia Burrino (The 3rd American Idol winner from High Point, NC).  When me and 'Tasia get in the kitchen, you know it's gonna be good!! 😋 'Tasia helps me bake LOTS of L❤️ve into all of my bundt cakes.

​Currently, I work full-time for me!  I quit my job in Corporate America in May 2024 shortly after my twin girls graduated from college.  It has always been a dream of mine to open up my own bakery and now I am living my dream.  We recently opened a small retail space at The Raleigh Market at the State Fairgrounds were we are open there every Saturday and Sunday from 9 am - 5 pm.  We also held the grand opening of our Food Truck in March 2025.  I am so BLESSED to have so many loyal and repeat customers and I am SO thankful for each and every one of them.  I hope that you will also become a customer.  Thank you so much for visiting and for your support of my small business.
