Sweet Sofia's is now Mama's Sanctuary by Sweet Sofia

Welcome to Mama's Sanctuary

by Sweet Sofia

(formerly Sweet Sofia's Licensed Home Bakery)

Hello! I'm Sweet Sofia!

I started Making treats with my mom & Grandma during the COVID-19 pandemic as a fun way to stay busy after I had heart surgery when I was 4 years old. I started my licensed home bakery in 2020 and had so much fun baking with my "Mama" (grandma Barb). Sadly, Mama went to Heaven in 2022 and our family closed our bakery. In December of 2025, my mom and I started a nonprofit to honor Mama's life & legacy of altruism called Mama's Sanctuary by Sweet Sofia.

Now I still enjoy baking but I also have fun making the world a better place by uplifting others and spreading happiness and cheer wherever I go in the form of kindness, compliments & unexpected surprise gifts. I love to catch someone being kind to others and recognize them for this.

Instead of baked goods, I sell my handcrafted items and for every purchase, I give back by gifting treats to local heroes and great role models.

Smiles are contagious and I love to share them with others!
