Curious Confections LLC is the end product of the merger of two completely different worlds, on so many levels. Two people, from distant sides of the planet met and joined their talents together to form a team that is unique, and possessing a slightly skewed outlook on the world of baked goods and confections. We’ve planted a flag in Pflugerville, Texas… and the Lone Star State will never be the same.
Gemma is the culinary genius of the duo, bending recipes and technique to her will. She has passion, drive, an innate talent for baking, and an artist’s eye and creativity. Her English upbringing lends a sensibility for simple, quality ingredients, a wholesome delicious product, and a disdain for the trend toward over-sweetened/salted and over-worked preparations.
Michael is the “mad scientist” of the team, possessing a creative past that includes cinematic special effects, sculpting, fabrication, formal training in commercial/graphic arts, and an informal baking education learned at his mother’s knee (a fine Southern cook, and a master of her craft). He is responsible for creative confections borne of dreams and nightmares alike.
Together there is little we cannot produce; from the humblest loaf of bread, to a batch of cookies or cupcakes, through artisan chocolates and confections all the way up to elaborate wedding and sculpted cakes. We are perfectionists, and mad to get every detail just right. We love what we do, and that passion shows in everything that we make.
We are part of the Texas cottage food industry, and as such we do not have public storefront or maintain prepared stock for everyday purchase. This does, however, mean that everything we make is produced fresh and “to order” especially for you.
