OUR STORY

Hello world!

My name is Jessica and these are my cupcakes in a jar! I was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, raised in Texas and proudly served in the U.S. Army. As a veteran, I was given the opportunity to work and travel overseas for 7 years. During that time, I was able to experience foods from all over the world and soon after my curiosity for eating delicious food became my passion for cooking it.

GorJess Cupcakes

was created in an office environment in Bagram, Afghanistan. Working long hours 7 days a week was exhausting and I knew I needed an outlet. I decided to order a conventional oven, basic baking tools, and ingredients and

let the magic happen.

Working in another country would oftentimes lead to my family and friends forgetting about me. I knew that if this was happening to me then it was surely happening to my co-workers. So, my goal was simple,

I wanted to add a little bit of happiness to someone’s day through cupcakes.

I started baking for holidays, then taking requests for birthdays and special occasions.

My cupcakes were beautiful but very delicate and would easily be damaged in shipping. So, layering them in portable 8oz mason jars not only made sense but they were adorable gifts that screamed ‘Someone is thinking of you!’ Each jar is made up of delicious baked from scratch cupcakes layered with velvety smooth cream cheese buttercream frosting.

As a chef, I believe in the quality of my cupcakes over the quantity sold.
