Let's start by 'slicing' into the name! Velvet was Monique's grandmother and Gwen, Monique's mother loved to bake. Her famous Coconut cake was Monique's favorite and the sweet buttery aroma that would fill the house was a bonus!  Monique and her siblings lost their mom to Breast Cancer in 2005. Some years later, armed with her mother's recipe book and fond memories; Monique began perfecting her baking process. Monique now bakes as a way to give her customers a piece of her mom, as a form of healing, and moreover, to spread love! So, with every Velvet Cakes by Gwen masterpiece, she welcomes you into her kitchen.
