Hope Alsteen | owner+baker

Hi, I’m Hope! I’m 28 years old and have been baking and decorating since I was 15. Over the years, I’ve gained experience working in bakeries creating everything from cookie cakes to custom cakes, cupcakes, cake pops, wedding cakes and so much more. I always knew I wanted to do more…to put my own creativity and personal touch into every order.

After 10 years of learning and growing, I finally took the leap and started Hope’s Sweet Treats. Everything I make is baked fresh to order and designed with care, whether it’s a simple treat or a fully custom cake. I truly pour my heart into every order that goes out my door, and my goal is for you to love it just as much as I do.

When I’m not baking, I’m a proud mom to my energetic 6-year-old son, who also happens to be my official taste tester! I love staying active, working out, and soaking up the sunshine whenever I can. Whether you’re celebrating something special or just treating yourself, I’m here to bring your sweet ideas to life!

Favorite Thing to Bake:
My absolute favorite thing to bake is cookie cakes! They’re the perfect mix of soft, chewy cookies and beautifully decorated cakes. I love how versatile they are you can customize colors, and designs for any occasion. Plus, there’s just something extra special about turning a classic cookie into a centerpiece dessert that makes people smile.

Potential New Flavor:
I’d love to create a “Peanut Butter Overload” cookie!

Whipping Up Something Bigger:
I’d love to dive deeper into more intricate custom cake designs and decorating techniques. While I already enjoy creating a variety of treats, continuing to grow my skills and bring even more detailed, creative visions to life is something I’m really excited about!
