Amanda's Story

I am Amanda, founder of Amy’s Bakes. Born in Cuba, I discovered from a young age that sweetness is much more than food: it is memory, celebration, and art. That passion for pastry led me to cross the ocean and train at the prestigious Italian Chef Academy in Rome, Italy, home to some of the most refined techniques of European baking.

During my training, I interned at Aquolina, a Michelin-starred restaurant, and at Velo Pasticceria, two experiences that defined my relentless pursuit of technical perfection and flavor balance. There I learned that excellence lives in the smallest details: in the exact temperature of chocolate, in the precise peak of a meringue, in the harmony between acidity and sweetness.

Today, I craft artisanal sweet masterpieces inspired by European tradition, designed to elevate every celebration and offer an unforgettable aesthetic and sensory experience. Each creation is unique, handmade with carefully selected ingredients and an absolute commitment to quality. Through Amy’s Bakes I share not only my desserts, but also my knowledge, training a new generation of dessert enthusiasts.
