Chef Julia's culinary journey began in 2018 with her first venture, an at-home bakery in southern CT by the name of Baker of Black Rock. Delivering gorgeous cakes and luxury, hand-painted sugar cookies, her small business soon became sought after by celebrities such as Martha Stewart and other high-profile clientele. Baker of Black Rock has been highlighted in various publications around the world such as Business Insider, People Magazine, and the Daily Mail UK, as well as many others. After a move to Los Angeles in 2021, Baker of Black Rock became Spellbound Cookies, and soon developed another fantastic community of exciting clients.
