If you are like me, you gave up on baking within the first two months of quarantine. Luckily, you can fill the sweet, homemade-food feeling you have been missing in this small business, Made By Yub. Located in California’s Orange and Los Angeles Counties since 2014, founder and baker Raven (Yub) creates fresh cheesecakes, cookies, Bundt cakes, and special orders to fill the stomachs and hearts of our community.
Yub has always loved baking; this connection only deepened after she was diagnosed with chronic pain and chronic fatigue, and she baked as a way to help her heal. Eventually, healing turned into passion, and this passion turned into a scrumptious business.
All products are handmade, perfectly sized for individual servings and carefully packaged for shipping. As ‘bakestress’, Yub offers a wide variety of original desserts, including gluten-free, vegan, and doggie treats. Want to know what the best part is? Made By Yub features “Quarantine Snacks”, which will be shipped straight to your house so you can enjoy the comforts of home baked treats—without the stress of going out.
This business not only serves the community in its deliciousness, but also has a special mission: seeking to empower survivors of abuse, Yub plans to one day open a bakery and hire domestic violence survivors to help bake and run the shop. Currently, Made By Yub seeks to thank front-line workers by offering cookie care packages you can send to your families and friends.
Made By Yub is open Monday through Sunday, from 9am to 6pm. You can place orders here; follow #madebyyub on instagram and @MadeByYub1 on Facebook for updates and more wonderful desserts!
