Enjoy Life in Small Bites, Then Go Out and Do Big Things!
Magenta Gourmet was Born Out of Sheer, Creative Inspiration.
Founder, Monica Rossi, a licensed MD who formerly specialized in clinical oncological research for 25 years, recognized a great contrast between her career and the deeper passion within her to express her creativity. She decided to make a radical change.
Monica began taking classes on cake decorating and became inspired. She started creating a variety of cupcakes for friends, families, potlucks and church meetups–and they were met with such enthusiasm, she decided to quit her lucrative job, lean on her savings and go full force.
Ever since, she has carved out a unique niche with her cupcakes and bite-size specialty sweets. And she absolutely loves to bake while singing and listening to music, which transfers a bit of extra sweetness and flavor to her delicious offerings.
Monica’s humor and light-hearted approach to life allows her to create sweet treats that represent a happier side of life, even when the going gets tough. A great listener, she warmly welcomes creative feedback from her customers. After all, her passionate purpose is to bring a taste of joy into the lives of others!
