Southern Girl Desserts

Southern Girl Desserts was founded in 2007 by co-owners Catarah Coleman and Shoneji Robison. They combined their family recipes to create a Southern cupcake and dessert arsenal. The bakery focuses on using real ingredients without cutting corners. Both Coleman and Robison, originally from Florida and alumni of Florida A&M University, met on the West Coast through a fellow Delta Sigma Theta sorority sister. They decided to bring Southern hospitality and flavors to Los Angeles through their bakery. Robison, an actress, joined six months later, adding her love for baking and potential celebrity clientele. Their successful business is built on childhood baking and hospitality. "We’re just two Southern girls who love to bake, and we want to share that love with others," says Robison.
