about me

My name is Jackie, and I’m the recipe creator and food photographer behind La Casa de Sweets. I love to bake, anything and everything. Chocolate is the best (a Spanish invention, of course!), but I love all sweets…

I’m a charity fundraiser baker, which means I bake and blog to raise money and awareness for special causes like childhood hunger and childhood cancer.  I work with companies and bakers across the country to raise money for child-related causes.  Raising money for groups like Share Our Strength and Cookies for Kids Cancer is what keeps me a happy baker and blogger!

Away from my blog, I’m a busy wife, mother, daughter, sister, middle school teacher (taking a break to raise my daughters!), Seventh-day Adventist child of a loving God.

I have been blessed with the most loving, talented husband (my high school sweetheart!), and the two most precious little nenas–our dream come true!  They keep me busy, along with my spirited Puerto Rican family. We are living our life for God, one sweet day at a time.

I hope you enjoy the recipes found here, and I’d love to hear about your own baking adventures.

Please consider helping me bake for a higher cause…help children around the world today.

I hope your life is filled with God’s Love…and chocolate!
