You don’t see a lot of businesses that sell homemade flan especially with the half cake half flan part, It’s a science and takes real patience for it. For me it’s special because being a Latina, a Mom and going through certain circumstances it’s surreal that I have my own business especially having a child that sees you can also follow your passion. :)

I make handmade products with resin, concrete, & candles. Most of my resin pieces are customizable, but I make trays, bottle openers, painting pallets, keychains, and many more. With my concrete art I create candles jars and paint them with different movie characters.
