During the downtime and uncertainty of recent entertainment industry strikes, I turned to something that had always brought me joy — baking. As a professional makeup artist, creativity has always been at the heart of what I do, and starting this cottage food business became a way to channel that creativity into something comforting, beautiful, and made to bring people together.

What began as a hobby quickly grew into a small business built around connection, gathering, and creating meaningful moments. Every item is made with care, quality ingredients, and the same artistic attention to detail I’ve spent years bringing to my clients. At The Lanai, the goal is simple: to create delicious, thoughtfully made treats that feel special enough to share with the people you love.
