About

Hey there! I’m Chelsey, and I’m so excited to welcome you into my kitchen.

The Chelsweets’ Story

Unlike a lot of bakers out there, I didn’t grow up in the kitchen with my Mom or Grandma. I don’t have a treasure trove of family recipes, but I will say I’ve always been a dessert lover!

I was lucky enough to find my passion for baking at 22 when I decided to make my first cake for a coworker’s birthday. My blog was born shortly after that, and I haven’t looked back since!

The ultimate goal behind Chelsweets is to inspire others to find joy in the kitchen like I have.

My Background

My career path has been anything but conventional! I started in public accounting as a CPA, then moved into corporate finance, and left that to pursue Chelsweets full-time as a blogger and content creator in 2019.

If you want to know more, I shared why I quit my job here, along with everything I considered before I left my corporate job.

My Business Model

I’m currently focusing on content creation across my social platforms, sharing recipes on my blog, and my ongoing digital partnership with the Food Network.

I don’t sell any of my cakes and give the cakes I make to my friends, family, and neighbors.

I share more about how my business model works as a baker who doesn’t sell her cakes here.

Features & Publications

Baking has allowed me to meet so many wonderful people and led to some amazing opportunities.

Over the years I have been fortunate enough to be featured in the following news outlets and publications:

I have also made national TV appearances on the Ben and Pickler Show, and Home & Family, which were both amazing!

Thank You!

Lastly, I want to say thank you! I would never have gotten where I am today without your support, whether you follow me on social media, use my recipes, or have cheered me on over the years!

Chelsey, I just wanted you to know that I started watching your videos about 3 years ago. You made it look soooo easy and after months of watching your videos I thought "I think I can do this"!! My first cake I attempted was the Halloween cake with the shards of glass and it turned out awesome! Since then I have started my own business, I have a great clientele and a new website. I've even been asked to be on a panel for q&a on How to Cake It with Yolanda. Thank you for sharing your gifts with the world! #fanforlife #itallstartedwithchelsweets

Hi Chelsweets! I am 14 years old and have really been into making cakes, my family says I really have a talent for it, so I've started a Pinterest and I'm working on transitioning to into a full business, I have been SO inspired by your story, so thank you! I would love to be able to email you personally if that's possible...

Good Morning - Your cake absolutely beautiful and tutorial are amazing. I’ve learned so much from you! I would like to know if you are able to share your template to your pricing spreadsheet that you use to price out your cakes? It would be greatly appreciated as I am struggling with charging what my cakes are worth.

Thank you in advance
