About Tartes du Soleil

I’m Cassandra!

When I was 9, I received my first chef hat and apron as a gift for a heritage holiday (Three Kings’ Day) because my abuela knew my love for watching anything Food Network and pretending to host a cooking show.

My passion for baking grew as I’ve spent many hours reading, studying, and experimenting out of a need to work with my hands after being on the computer for my day job in tech.

With my friends and family as my willing taste testers, Tartes du Soleil was born in 2023 as a licensed home bakery!

I specialize in French-inspired curd (fruity) and custard (milky) tarts. I love seasonal produce and trying unique flavors, taking inspiration from everywhere, including my Puerto Rican heritage, local businesses, other chefs, and flavor combinations from around the world.

The name “Tartes du Soleil,” or “tarts of the sun,” not only honors the French inspiration and the fluted edge of each tart that looks like a little sun, but also the warm, bright glow that a little treat can make you feel on your best and worst days.

Every order is bespoke and made by hand. I love getting to work with each individual to make their holiday, celebration, or event both beautiful and delicious!

Experience

I’m passionate about my local Columbus and Dayton communities, and I love having the opportunity to partner with local businesses,

• Coffee Underground (Columbus, OH): kept a regular stock of tarts for nearly a year
