Kelly Chervon
Owner
With over 20 years of professional baking and decorating experience, I began Chervon Cakes and Cookies in August of 2019.
My love of baking came long before pursuing it professionally though.
I was born and raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and began baking at a very young age, always helping my mom in the kitchen whenever I could. Christmas was always my favorite time of year when my mom would always make a huge variety of cookies for Christmas! She would show me all her tips and tric​ks.
Upon graduating High school I decided to attend Culinary school and graduated with an Associates in Pastry
Arts. I always have had a love for the sunshine state and would visit whenever i could, so it was no decision at all when it came time to choose where to go for my externship. I excepted a position at the the Ocean Reef Club in Key Largo, Florida where I continued to learn and gain work experience in pastries. When I returned home to Pittsburgh, I worked at several bakeries; Allentown Bakery, Priory Fine Pastries and Buttermaid Bakery before accepting a Bakery Manager position at Giant Eagle Supermarket. I worked for Giant Eagle for 8 years before making the difficult decision of leaving my job and moving to Florida where I always wanted to live in July 2014.
While in Tampa, I worked at Publix and Wrights Gourmet House prior to pursuing my dream of having my own business.
Since launching Chervon Cakes and Cookies, it has been amazing to be able to bring my love and passion of baking and decorating to all of my customers.
Thank You for supporting my dream!
I started the business out of my home under cottage food and quickly with all of your support, within a year had grown my business and expanded to working from a commercial kitchen. This allowed me to expand my business without as much overhead of owning a store front but able to be a fully licensed and insured business with the much needed space for growth!
​
My long term goal has always been to have my own brick and mortar location and I'm still working toward that goal today!
There have been so many people in my baking/cake decorating journey that have inspired me and hope to be that for others as well! My goal is for the store front to be a full service bakery as well as sell a variety of baking supplies.
I believe everyone should have the access to quality supplies to bake and decorate with and you should never have to compromise quality, no matter where you are in your baking journey!
