Young baker shows mettle, skill in Sweet Pie Treats Guyana

Leianna Chung

One of today’s trending desserts is the cakesicle, which is a larger slightly different edition of a cake pop and shaped like a popsicle, hence the name. Nineteen-year-old baker Leianna Chung is on top of her cakesicle game. Her scrumptious looking cakesicles appeal to customers and keep them coming back so that she seems to always have numerous orders to fill.

Leianna established Sweet Pie Treats Guyana in August last year, offering cakesicles, cupcakes, strawberry cheese cakes, strawberry crumble cakes, cinnamon rolls, and mini bundt cakes as well as edible and cardboard cake toppers.

After graduating from School of the Nations in 2019, Leianna was looking forward to pursuing studies at a university abroad the following year. However, with a worldwide pandemic, those plans were postponed. During this time, Leianna became a tester for Amazon; vendors on the site would have their cakesicles shipped to Guyana and she would provide reviews on what she thought about the desserts.
