Ellie’s story

Ellie’s kitchen today, with a big sunny window over the sink

650 sq. ft.I started Ellie’s Brigadeiro in a 650 sq. ft. apartment, with a tiny windowless kitchen that felt more like a box.

todayToday I stand in my kitchen with windows full of light, a view of the backyard, and gratitude in my heart.

Testimonial

“Ellie was amazing from beginning to end. We ordered brigadeiros, bem-casados and a cake for our wedding. Everything was well presented, made on time and delicious. Our guests loved the sweets and they vanished so quickly that I did not even had time to eat lol. As for the cake, it was a passion fruit with brigadeiro filling and oh my gosh, it was delicious. I froze some to eat in our 1 year anniversary. Ellie was attentive, engaging, caring, and loving with us and with our order. I highly recommend her.”
