About us...
What's with the name?
The story goes that I was making a ton of pumpkin recipes. One day, after a long baking session, my husband jokingly called me "punkin" while sneaking a cookie off the cooling rack. The name just stuck! Over time, "Punkin" became a sweet reminder of why I started baking gluten-free in the first place: for my family, with love and a lot of laughs along the way. Now, through Punkin Pastries, I get to share that same feeling—of home, happiness, and delicious treats—with everyone.

Our Story
Punkin Pastries began in our family kitchen after our kids were diagnosed with gluten allergies. As a professional baker, it broke my heart to see them miss out on the simple joys of cookies and cupcakes just because of an ingredient. So I got to work transforming our favorite recipes into delicious gluten-free treats that everyone could enjoy—no compromises.
What started as a way to keep our family healthy and included has grown into a mission to share that same love and comfort with our community. The name “Punkin” was a sweet nickname from my husband during a season of pumpkin baking, and it stuck—just like the joy of baking for the people you love.
