Hi Cookie Lovers, I’m Alexandra the Owner & Pastry Chef behind Alma Baking House.

When I was 12 I baked my first ever cake roll and since that day my pastry/ baking life hasn’t stopped. In Ecuador in 2010 I went to the Culinary, Pastry arts and Hospitality management for 5 years. In 2016 went to Spain to do a certification in molecular cuisine at the Basque Culinary Center (Which was as cool as it sounds. Hands down one of the best experiences in my life). 

Right after that I went back to Ecuador and opened my 1st Bakery called “Vevill Pastelería” in honor of my parents last name. 

In 2019 I was brought to work in Scottsdale, Arizona for The Marriot Company for a year at The Westin Kierland Resort & Spa.  That experience made me fall in love with the United States and in 2020 I officially moved to Miami and I did a certification in Pastry Arts and worked as Assistant Manager and Pastry Chef for a hotel restaurant. 

In June 2022 I met my beloved Husband and 6 months later we got married and moved to Denver. 

Alma was created by the end of 2023 and is the union of the 2 initials letter of my husband’s name Matthew and mine Alexandra. In Spanish Alma means Soul and this is the souls of our dreams and marriage. 

The idea of make cookies came after realized how much cookie are loved in Colorado. So I decide to make cookies but using my culinary and heritage knowledge to upgrade it and adding a truffle inside and create: The Denver Style cookies. 

You can buy my cookies on my website where I have 2 options; pick up every Monday and Friday from 9am to 1pm in Littleton Village or choose the shipping option in I ship them every Monday and normally they arrive the next day in all Colorado area. I also have pop ups every other Saturday. September7th and 21st and October 5th and 19th we will be at the West Elm in Cherry Creek from 2:30 to 6pm.

As a pastry Chef my passion is to create and mix flavors. I created 3 flavors based on my favorite treats for fall:

🍁Pumpkin Spice Latte 

🍏Caramel Apple 

🍯Praline Pecans

They will be available all Fall season.

My cookies are based in a unique recipe that I developed after many attempts until the perfect cookie came out. I saw the necessity of use the best and top ingredients like Belgium chocolate chips, organic butter and eggs because my goal was to give my customers a total gourmet and luxurious experience. 

200 gr of chocolate chips cookie dough that was designed to hold inside a chocolate truffle that can be changed depending on the flavor I want to create. 

I Was inspired by the NYC Style cookies and decided to create the Denver Style Cookies that must have a chocolate truffle inside. 

Best sellers so far: Pistachio Truffle, Almond Croissant Cookie, S’mores Campfire and Dulce de Leche, the last one is my favorite. 

I’m very excited for winter to come so I can create my favorite holiday cookies: Christmas. 

As a pastry Chef I know how to make many desserts. So I took me around one year to decide what really would work in the Denver market place.

Once I decided I wanted to make cookies I still had to deal with the fact that many people sell cookies so I had to work very hard to elevate them and differentiate beyond the competition.

Energetic, sporty, outdoorsy. Denver is really a place where new ideas, attractions, food and activities are warm welcomed overall the food area.
