Where We Started
In 2024, Maria Nerea started Dulces Delights & Co. as a fun side-hustle, fueled by her passion for baking and a desire to save for college. It began with local pick-ups and pop-up shops, but as orders poured in, Maria's passion grew, and she officially launched Dulces Delights & Co. from her Naples, FL home kitchen in January 2025.

Maria - Founder | Baker
Hi! I'm Maria, the owner of Dulces Delights & Co., a small business that grew from my true passion for baking and a dream to own my own business.
I'm an 18-year-old entrepreneur based in Naples, Florida. As a first-generation immigrant from Colombia, I aim to incorporate some flavors from home into my treats. Alongside my baking, I'm also studying to become a nurse – a career path that's deeply important to me and has been shaped by personal experiences. Dulces Delights & Co. is helping me pursue my education so I can make a meaningful impact in the medical field. Until then, I hope my treats bring you joy with every bite!
