Leah’s Sweet Treats 4910 Camp Bowie Boulevard Fort Worth, Texas 76107 817.731.5223
Welcome to my Sweet Treat Headquarters! I am Leah Cichocki: Fort Worth native, Trinity Valley grad, cake connoisseur, and lover of all things sweet, bright, unique and covered in sprinkles!
I am so excited to be living my dream of owning and operating my very own Custom Cake & Cupcake studio. After I graduated from Trinity Valley in 2004 I made my way out to the San Francisco Bay Area where I attended Saint Mary’s College and received my degree in Communication. It was during this time at college I realized what I really wanted to do in life: be like those weirdos from Ace of Cakes and make amazingly awesome cakes every day! I say “weirdo” with great respect and admiration by the way- it was once I was out in California that I realized A . Hey, I’m not the weirdest one in town anymore! and B. It’s far better to be unique than to be like the rest of the masses! After I graduated from Saint Mary’s in May of 2008, I started culinary school less than a month later at California Culinary Academy in San Francisco. It was here that my weirdness was cultivated, my pastry skills were perfected, and I first realized my passion and artistic ability could actually take me places in life. I will never forget during orientation of Culinary School, the President of the school was addressing all of us nervous-kitchen-newbies and she said, “Everyone in this room has at least one thing in common: You all love to make things for other people and spread happiness through the things you make”. And that is so true! It never fails: 2AM rolls around, I am exhausted, covered in buttercream, wondering why in the world I am a slave to a hunk of cake that will soon be devoured- and then the moment comes when a client comes to pick up their cake or I deliver to a wedding and I see the gratitude and excitement on everyone’s face—all the trouble from the night before fades away and I am smiling from ear to ear. That’s what this all about, and that’s what makes me love this job so much!
This career has allowed me some awesome opportunities. I get to: Be creative, every day. Spread joy and make people smile. Always have a delicious moist cupcake ready to eat at any moment. And most importantly, be a part of people’s special moments in life. I have always had a love for baking, creating artwork, sewing, crafting, painting, and making gifts for my family and friends. I truly feel that my unyielding enthusiasm of art and baking is the perfect recipe for success. With a respect for tradition and an eye for modernity and pop culture, I guarantee a distinctively different dessert for any and all occasions. I take pride in every single cake and cupcake that I make, and view it as a reflection of myself as not only a pastry chef, but also as an artist. I strive to give my clients exactly what they want on their special day, and also knock your socks off with how good it tastes! It doesn’t matter how great it looks on the outside- if it tastes crummy (or crumby) on the inside, that’s all people remember. All of my sweet treats are made from the finest ingredients, always fresh- never frozen, nothing from a bucket, and absolutely no oils or shortening ever!
Cake is all about celebration! So let’s get together and plan a treat that will be a part of your next sweetest memory!!
