Meet the Owners

Debbie and Dennis are the founders of Sweet Temptations by Coco, a local home-based bakery in North Carolina. Debbie's passion for baking began at the young age of seven with her Easy-Bake Oven, which set her on a path in the food industry that spanned over a decade. Although she aspired to attend culinary school, she worked her way up to a general manager position while dreaming of opening her own bakery. After relocating to North Carolina in 2021 and facing the tragic loss of her sister in 2023, Debbie made the decision to follow her true passion for baking full-time. Since launching their bakery in March 2024, they have engaged in markets, braving various weather conditions while forming bonds within the community. Their goal is to craft exquisite treats that bring joy and unforgettable moments to families, driven by Debbie’s dedication to baking and her wish to honor her sister’s legacy.
