I was going through a lot in life. It seemed like everything that could go wrong did!

One day, as I decided to treat myself to dessert, I told myself that my story is how I write it. My days are how I choose to make them. I knew I needed to stop being so hard on myself, and finally stop seeking love from others and find it within myself.

Going to Dessert Gallery that day was the best day I had had in a long time. I found myself, and in the process, I enjoyed a great slice of cake! - Yandi

Tres Leches is my mom’s and my favorite dessert; I love surprising her with it because she is the biggest, sweet tooth I know. She thinks of sweets as her daily miracles, and it always lifts her mood. – Brenda F.

Before a big job interview, I stopped by DG to grab a cupcake. I wasn’t nervous, just needed a little boost. I sat in the parking lot of my job interview, frosting first, hyping myself up with every bite. I got the job, but honestly that moment with the cupcake felt like the win I needed first. - Jay R.

Almost every Sunday, I Doordash Dessert Gallery to my house. This past weekend, I sat in my living room with my journal and a slice of strawberry cake, reflecting on the week. No phones, no emails. It’s become the most peaceful part of my week and a reminder that I can create joy for myself, anytime. - Melissa P.

I spent my birthday alone one year. I was new to Houston, no friends yet, but I picked up a slice of cake from Dessert Gallery, lit a candle, and made a wish anyway. It was quiet, sweet, and perfect. It reminded me I don’t need a crowd to celebrate myself. - Rowan M.
