Hi, I'm Gianna - the 17 year old baker behind GiGi's Sweets & Treats.
No, I'm not your typical bakery owner - but that's part of what makes GiGi's so special. I'm 17 years old, still in high school, and already on a mission to make the world a little sweeter... one cupcake at a time.
I started this bakery out of a simple love for baking and a strong belief that even small acts of kindness can create real change. I've always loved being in the kitchen, especially when I'm making something that brings joy to others. But GiGi's isn't just about frosting and flour - it's about purpose, giving back, and turning a passion into a real, lasting impact.
Outside the kitchen, I'm a full-time student with two other part-time jobs involved in multiple honor-societies, leadership roles, and community-based clubs. I'm a proud member of several academic societies and spend much of my time studying, leading, and working hard to grow in both my academics and service.
However, it was through my community service - not just my classes - that I discovered what really fuels me. Volunteering opened my eyes to how much of a difference one person can make. I wanted to create something lasting that combined what I love with the chance to give back. That's how GiGi's was born.
I decided from the very beginning that this bakery wouldnt be about profit - it would be about purpose. That's why 100% of the profits from every order go directly to The Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, an orginization that works to protect kids, support families, and provide trauma-informed care to children across our state.
As someone who has always been passionate about helping others, this mission means everything to me. I believe that every child deserves safety, love, and the chance to grow up in a nuturing environment - and that something as simple as a cookie can play a role in making that happen.
GiGi's Sweets & Treats is a small, at-home bakery with a big heart. Your order helps children in need and supports a young woman chasing her dream of making a difference - through desserts, compassion, and community. I'm so greatful for your support.
Whether you're buying cookies for yourself or a gift for someone else, you're doing more than treating your sweet tooth - you're changing lives.
With love and
frosting,
Gianna
