BELINDA SANTIAGO
Hello!
​
My name is Belinda Santiago and I own a small business called Sweets By Santiago. I am based in Lawrenceville, GA and I make custom-themed treats and gifts for special occasions.
​
I enjoy being with my family on the weekends, going to farmers markets on Saturdays, and traveling. My introduction to baking was when I was given a 1992 Vintage Hasbro Easy Bake Oven by my cousin, Vinh. My siblings and I could not wait to start baking but the oven required a light bulb. My parents never got the chance to get us a lightbulb and it resulted in all three of us eating the powdered goods!
Growing up in Alabama, I loved to tune into The Food Network Channel because I found that food can be expressive and unites people. I loved to tune into Good Eats by Alton Brown, Unwrapped by Marc Summers, Everyday Italian by Giada de Laurentiis, and of course Martha Stewart. Let's just say that was the beginning of it all. My love for anything sweet and baking.
