With even more trends in the food market arising from artisanal baked goods, vegan and gluten-free creations, and handcrafted edible masterpieces - why should anyone miss out? Not even the tinies and furriest friends will be left out at Paw Patch Pastry Pet Boutique, recognized as the Best Pet Cake and Pastry Retailer. Paw Patch Pastries Best Pet Cakes & Pastries Retailer 2021 Nov21089 Paw Patch Pastry Pet Boutique was founded by Carla Ocfemia, a culinary graduate from the California Culinary Academy, who began her baking journey for pets after one of her furry friends became diagnosed with cancer. Out of pure necessity, Carla opted for a healthier diet for her pet to help them have balanced meals and safe treats that were natural and tasty. After her journey with baking for her dogs, Carla decided that creating treats for animals was much more rewarding than to her traditional clientele – people. While Carla did train in an Academy meant for humans, once she decided to go into the business for pets, she took up additional training to understand dietary needs for pets to ensure that all her treats were still able to be healthy, beautiful, and tasty. Understanding an animal’s diet vs., that of a human can take extensive time and dedication as each animal, like people, can and cannot consume certain items. For instance, a regular human may enjoy avocados, dark chocolate, and blueberry for their antioxidants, but for dogs, even in small quantities, it could seriously damage their health. However, after all her endeavours and with the best of hope, Carla’s dog unfortunately passed in 2010. So, she quit her job within corporate America and began a journey that served her heart and her animal friends’ bellies. After extensive amounts of research and training, Carla pursued an immensely successful trip with the opening of Paw Patch Pastry Pet Boutique. Paw Patch Pastry Pet Boutique specializes in a delectable array of treats. It caters to doggie birthdays, weddings, and other speciality moments, serving healthy and fun pastries and cookies for pets. Carla aims to ensure that all her animal customers can celebrate any meaningful moment with a completely customizable treat made safe to eat using the highest quality of ingredients – even a human could have it. Due to her background from the California Culinary Academy and her research and training in animal nutrition, Carla can cater to any diet or specialized needs for pets, giving a unique treat experience to all who enter without a lack in flavour. While the aim is to make everything edible within its healthier form, Paw Patch Pastry Pet Boutique also ensures that all animals diets will be taken care of with precision and attention to detail, without diluting the fun flavour and quality of the products. For Carla, it is imperative that she share her health knowledge and incorporate it into her baking, layered with information, creativity, and passion. At Paw Patch Pastry Pet Boutique, the core of their values is to make something special for the love of pets, and everyday members of staff come into work and spread joy and baked happiness to all owners who enter. Carla embraced her culinary change over a decade ago and, since her establishment within this niche industry, has perfected and expressed her passion through her business. She’s genuinely recognized as someone who loves every client’s pet just as much as their owners, and it shows through her dedication and her immense amount of knowledge that aids in creating such delicate and delicious treats. While Carla has loved everything she has done at the San Francisco location, she is thrilled to announce that she is moving Paw Patch Pastry Pet Boutique to Westlake Shopping Centre in Daly City, California. With a new destination on the horizon, bigger and better things are in store for the shop with the addition of monthly events, pup parties and exciting new pastries, all to come by 2022.
