About Ambrosia Gourmet Treats

Hi!  I'm Michelle Jewell and Ambrosia is my baby.

The name "Ambrosia" came from my mom who used to always refer to anything that was absolutely delicious as "Ambrosia of the Gods!". Naming my business Ambrosia means that my mom's spirit is front and center for me whenever I'm baking and sharing what I love with others. I hope that everyone who purchases something from my business feels the care, dedication and love that I put into everything I bake.

I've been baking professionally, semi-professionally and for fun for a couple decades now. Ambrosia started out as a gourmet cheesecake bakery over ten years ago and did very well until I had to make the difficult decision to hang up my oven mitts to focus on family.

Since then, I've been baking for friends and family and taking special orders when possible. When COVID hit in 2020, I had three weeks of furlough and decided to do a little pop-up baking to make up the lost income. Those online pop-ups were really successful and well-received, so I thought doing something similar in a more structured way might make sense and the Ambrosia Virtual Pop-Up Bakery was born!

The pop-up bakery model has been revised since 2020 with the life changes that have come my way, but I'm still taking special orders for occasions, events and everyday. If you're looking for a delicious treat, please think of supporting Ambrosia. When you buy from a local business, you're supporting your neighbor, your friend, your fellow community member. Keeping your money local means we all benefit.

Please feel free to reach out with any questions or suggestions. I'm always looking for new ways to make my customers smile. Again, thank you for being here. I'm excited to bake for you!
