What Started It All

I was studying Culinary Arts, planning to pursue savory cuisine, but everything changed the day I decorated my first cake.I baked cakes for joy. Gave them away. until someone asked to buy one.That moment turned passion into purpose. While balancing full-time work, school, and starting a family, I realized I wasn’t just baking, I was creating connections.

So I built the space I couldn’t find. And one cake became many,growing alongside my community, becoming part of weddings, birthdays, first communions, and everyday celebrations.

Our Story

Founded on December 25, 2020, by Chef Hilda Vera-Terhark, Holy Sins began as a home cake studio created to transform emotions into sensorial experiences, making dessert far more than a sweet ending.

From the start, it has been a quiet rebellion against mass production and disposable beauty. What began as a holiday gift away of vintage-style cakes became a leap of faith. Today, Holy Sins is proud to be a local reference in this aesthetic, present in weddings, birthdays, and everyday celebrations.

Why “Holy Sins”?

Too beautiful to eat. Too delicious not to

Dessert isn’t a guilty pleasure. It is sacred: a ritual of connection, gratitude, and joy. A pause for celebration.

“Royal” reflects refinement and excellence, reminding us that beauty, flavor, and service always belong together.

Holy Sins Royal Bakehouse isn’t about excess,
It’s about intention.
About the beauty of tradition
and the power of slowing down to enjoy it.

This is more than dessert. It is our language of love.
This is the art of “La Sobremesa”.

Who We Bake For

For those who miss the taste of home and choose handmade over mass-produced.

For those who crave real flavor, not just sweetness.

For those who believe even the smallest moment deserves celebration.

If that’s you, welcome! You’re in the right place

A Signature Style

It began with a floral set of cupcakes, once called “aristocráticos” by a Venezuelan friend, and became what I now call Modern Vintage: Lambeth piping reimagined in buttercream.
Inspired by cake artists worldwide yet shaped by my own journey, this style reflects my roots, my dreams, and the stories carried from one recipe to the next.

“We don’t follow trends. This is our identity. Because tradition can evolve without being erased.” — Hilda Vera-Terhark
