How It All Started
It all started in late 2020 when a determined 11-year-old girl named Emily Caroline Patterson discovered her love for baking. She developed her own cheesecake recipe (with secret ingredients!) after accepting a challenge from her little brother, Liam. What began as family fun turned into a business when Emily started selling her cheesecakes to fund her first KitchenAid mixer.
Fast forward to today, and Sweet Emmaline Cheesecakes has grown into a thriving business with an inspiring story of passion, family values, and good old-fashioned hard work. From a busy mall kiosk to a bustling storefront to a growing fleet of food trucks, Sweet Emmaline Cheesecakes is on a mission to brighten dessert lovers’ days around the globe.
Our name came from you (our loyal customers), showing just how much our community matters to us. Sweet dreams truly do come true.
