About Me

For as long as I can remember, I have enjoyed cooking and baking for the people I love. Every since I was a little girl and I would sit in the corner of the kitchen shyly watching my grandmothers, aunts, and mother of preparing food while laughing, telling stories, reminiscing on the “good ole days” and taking this time to bond with each other and take a moment away from the business of raising families and day to day life. 

 

I have always admired how food is such an embedded part of culture, family, friendship, and happiness. Inspired by those happy childhood memories, a few years ago I decided to try my hand at creating treats and sharing them with friends and family.

Soon, Made by Crystal, XO was born. 

 

I pride myself on using my creativity in all aspects of life, my passion for baking and cooking, and the tools I learned from childhood to bake for others’ special moments and sweet bursts of happiness alike. 

 

(P.S. shoutout to my mama who is the best baker I know and gave me my baking foundation!)

 

Made by Crystal, with love XO is more than just a name. It was birthed from my childhood memories of watching my family show their love through food and sweets, and my continued love for making treats for others as a form of creativity and love.
