our story
Rooted in classic technique.
Krysta has been making cakes since 2012 and has spent more than ten years in commercial kitchens. She studied classic French pastry, but cakes have always been her first love.
In 2026, she opened The Piquant Patisserie in San Marcos.
Every cake becomes part of someone’s story, and it’s a joy to help you celebrate the moments that matter.
Every cake is made by hand. We keep custom cakes affordable on purpose.
