About the Baker

Patty came up with the idea to start Patty Pops in her high school economics course in 2008. She was asked to start a hypothetical business, and decided to create a lollipop business, hence the name "Patty Pops". When she began college in 2009, she decided to kick off the business part-time, and it was a success! She then expanded her product lines to include additional specialty desserts like cakes, cupcakes, and chocolate covered treats as trends & demand for other products grew. 

Patty is now a full time owner of Patty Pops Inc., located in Pelham, NY. She and her team of bakers & dessert designers offer specialty cake pops & desserts in the retail shop and have recently launched a shipping operation.
