Our Story

Hi everyone! My name is Cindy and I'm the owner of Simply Sweet by Cindy. I was born and raised in Tarrytown, NY. Growing up I would spend a lot of time with my Nonna who was always in her kitchen making homemade, delicious baked goods for the family. Whether it was baking cookies, breads, pizza, etc, I was there standing on a chair with my mini rolling pin at 3 years old ready to get messy.

I graduated from Manhattan College with a degree in Finance and Marketing and worked in the financial industry for over 10 years.  I was unhappy with my career and decided to attend culinary school in the evenings as my passion for baking was always with me.  I graduated from Monroe College with a degree in baking and pastry arts.

Once Covid hit, I frequently found myself experimenting with recipes and baking. This has always been a form of stress relief for me.  To get feedback, I would give what I had baked to friends and family to try.  Everyone could not wait to taste the next sweet treat.  Simply Sweet by Cindy was born in 2020 thanks to the encouragement from my husband and family. 

Homemade desserts were and still are a part of every family gathering for me.  It is my intention to be able to share my gift of baking through my delicious creations that will be part of your family gatherings and celebrations. I enjoy watching everyone savor that very first bite of their treat and the smile that comes along with it.  It is my hope that it will become your Love at First Bite too!
