Jesse Coyne was born in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. Jesse has always been detail oriented and interested in building and creating. Jesse’s mother has shown him how to appreciate creativity, and his father taught him how to be self-sufficient. Jesse decided to have a vegetarian diet in 2006 after trying PETA’s 30-day vegetarian pledge. He has been enjoying his vegetarian lifestyle ever since. Jesse has always been a big fan of pies, and he admits he was not a true fan of cake. Since he has started baking his own vegan treats he has found a love for cakes. Jesse moved to Los Angeles California in 2007 to work in the entertainment industry. He currently works in Los Angeles as an Audio/Video Technician, as well as Co-owning/Chef at JAM Vegan Bakery.

AND

Mallori Simko was born outside of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in Johnstown Pennsylvania. Mallori grew up watching her mother bake wedding cakes, birthday cakes, gobs, and this is how she learned how to bake and decorate cakes. Mallori’s grandmother taught her how to create delicious home cooked meals and cookies. Mallori chose a Vegan lifestyle in 2002, which gave her a chance to veganize her family recipes, including her mother’s secret dessert recipes. Her choice to have a vegan diet came from the inner-strength that she has to accept change in the world. Mallori came to Los Angeles with Jesse in 2007 in the pursuit of being an actress and entertainer. Although she loves theater and film and wants to continue acting, she thinks it is very important to spread her love and passion for Veganism and sustainable living due to the climate crisis. Mallori is eager to introduce sustainable vegan baked goods to her local community and beyond.

Some ingredients we use are processed in a facility that also processes allergens. Since we cannot guarantee that our products have not been contaminated in these facilities, people with life-threatening allergies should avoid our products.
