A Little More About Us
The Story of Sweet Stars Cupcakes
Hi! We’re Ruby and Karis — two best friends who have been baking side-by-side for as long as we can remember.
Our cupcake journey began when we were just 8 years old, full of big dreams and even bigger imaginations. We spent our childhood mixing up fun flavors, testing homemade recipes, sketching out ideas for our dream shop in Hawaii, and imagining a life where baking was more than just a hobby — it was our future.
What started as a sweet dream between two little girls has grown into something real and more meaningful than we ever could have imagined. Over the years, we began taking orders, refining our craft, and falling even more in love with the magic of baking. Through life’s highs and lows, the kitchen became our creative escape, a place to be together, and a place where we could keep dreaming about what Sweet Stars could one day become. And now, more than 15 years later, we are still dreaming!
Baking has always been about more than just cupcakes for us — it’s about connection, healing, community, creativity, and joy. Most importantly, we believe the Lord gave us this dream, and we hope to use it to love and serve the people He puts in our path and point everything we do back to Him.
Today, the heart of Sweet Stars can really be summed up in four things: Cupcakes, Christ, Community, and Creativity. We love getting to create something sweet, celebrate people, bring our community together, and share the joy of Jesus through something as simple as a cupcake.
We also know we wouldn’t be here without the love and support of our parents, who were our biggest cheerleaders from the very beginning. Ruby’s parents helped us open our first bank account, cheered us on through our first orders, and encouraged us to believe that no dream was too big. Though they’re no longer here with us, we carry their love and encouragement into everything we do, and we know they would be so proud to see us still chasing the dream they believed in all those years ago. We are also so grateful for the continued love and unbelievable support of Karis’ parents, who continue to cheer us on every step of the way.
In a world that can feel heavy, we believe everyone deserves a little sweetness — and we hope our cupcakes bring you a little “sprinkle” of His joy.
We’re so thankful you’re here and get to be a part of this dream with us!
With love,
Ruby & Karis
