Welcome to Baked Elegance Bakery Bakery - Where Baking is a passion and an art.

Candyce Galvan started baking with her grandmother when she was a child. Her grandmother used to make big cakes for weddings from her kitchen, giving Candyce the opportunity to watch and learn the delicate process. As a child, Candyce learned how to make frosting flowers and gum paste flowers, which sprouted the passion for cake decorating and baking.  She watched her grandma cooking and baking, and she learned from a young age how to decorate these big extravagant   cakes and make all kinds of desserts. In addition to baking and cooking, her grandmothers and grandfathers on both sides of her family taught her how to make cookies and breads, and so much more. Growing up, she spent a lot of time learning how to do so much from her parents, grandparents and her aunts. She also learned how to do ceramics, wood working, welding, bead working, pottery, drawing, painting, crocheting, and sewing. 

Candyce also learned how to play the piano when she was eight as well as the upright bass for orchestra. Candyce graduated high school in 2015 from Central High School in Grand Junction, Colorado. She originally attended college at University of Northern Colorado for Music Education and Performance. In 2019 she decided to go to culinary school after ending her studies in music education. In 2021 she graduated with her Diploma in Baking and Pastry Arts from Auguste Escoffier School of Culinary Arts. Since graduating from culinary school, she has worked towards building a path to making her dream of owning and operating a bakery into a reality. 

In 2022 Candyce started making and selling coloring books on amazon as well. To this day she still enjoys painting and drawing and all of her other crafts. Candyce is also still enjoying writing music on occasion as well as working with her ceramics and woodworking. 

Candyce spent the last ten years working in retail, climbing the ladder up to team lead positions while beginning the stages of creating Baked Elegance Bakery. It is with full pride that she continues to build the business and build the dream. Working in a kitchen now, she is simultaneously working and turning the dream of a bakery into a reality each and every day.
