Our Story
Baked with love,
served with joy
What began six years ago in a home kitchen — baked in spare hours and carried to markets and pop-ups across Illinois — found its home on Sale Street in December 2025.
Every cookie, roll, and cake at Dessert First is made entirely from scratch, by hand, with care. No shortcuts, no preservatives — just the kind of baking worth doing first.
