How an Egg Allergy Inspired Jenny to Start Turtle’s Treats

Some bakeries begin with a family recipe. Jenny’s began with her son.

For Jenny, the journey to starting Turtle’s Treats wasn’t about opening a business, it was about helping her son.

After learning he had an egg allergy, Jenny began baking at home to safely introduce baked egg into his diet as part of his exposure journey. Like many parents, she simply wanted to make sure her child could enjoy the same treats as everyone else while helping him work toward outgrowing his allergy.

What started as an act of love soon became something much more.

She discovered that cake pops were one of the few treats her picky eater consistently enjoyed. Every successful batch built confidence, and before long, baking became more than just a necessity; it became a passion.

As she spent more time experimenting in the kitchen, Jenny found herself refining recipes, learning new techniques, and discovering what she enjoyed creating most.

While cake pops will always hold a special place in her story, cookies quickly became her favorite canvas for creativity. She loves developing new flavor combinations and believes every dessert should be remembered for one thing above all else: incredible taste.

Today, Jenny is a mom of two who runs Turtle’s Treats as a micro bakery in her free time. Her menu features handcrafted cookies, cake pops, cupcakes, and fresh bread, each made with the same care that first inspired her to start baking.

I prioritize great taste above all else - Jenny says.

That philosophy is reflected in every order she prepares. Whether it’s a batch of cookies for a family gathering, fresh bread for the dinner table, or cake pops for a celebration, her goal is always the same: create something people genuinely look forward to eating.

Running a bakery alongside raising two children isn’t always easy, but it’s a labor of love. Between family life, recipe testing, and fulfilling customer orders, Jenny has built a business rooted in care, patience, and a genuine love of sharing homemade baked goods with her community.

Many great bakeries begin with a family recipe. Turtle’s Treats began with something even more personal, a mother doing everything she could to help her son.

Today, every cookie, cupcake, loaf of bread, and cake pop that leaves Jenny’s kitchen carries a little piece of the story that started it all. What began as a mother’s determination to help her son has become Turtle’s Treats—a bakery built on care, creativity, and the belief that great taste always comes first.
