Background:
Truly
Madly Sweetly Bake Shop was a labor of love. After years of working
as a librarian, Cathryn Howard decided to take her love of baking to the next
level. Accepted at Pasadena's Le Cordon Bleu in 2006, she graduated at
the top of her class. She opened her first store in 2008 combining
classic French training with vintage American favorites. Five years later
her Temecula store is a thriving business providing fresh baked goods which
include award winning cupcakes, cheesecake, cookies and handmade salted
caramels. Her team includes three generations of family members
including, Mercediz, who coordinates the many weddings booked, Cindy, an
amazing cake artist, and Laurie, a talented corporate events planner. The goal
here is to continue to provide handmade edible delights for years to come.
