Where Legacy, Passion, and Premium Confections Meet
Welcome to Sweetreats by Lattis, where unique gift cakes, artisanal baked goods, and signature confections are created from scratch with the same love, care, and quality passed down through generations.
​
Our curated menu focuses on premium, handcrafted fare designed to delight gift-givers and dessert lovers alike—including our gourmet Gift Bundt Cakes, artisanal scones, and our exclusive, trademarked flagship confection, Malibu Rocks™.
Our Core Innovation: Malibu Rocks™
Malibu Rocks™ is our premier, proprietary product created at the very outset of the Sweetreats journey. Featuring select, premium walnuts and pecans marinated in a secret luxury rum-and-orange blend, then beautifully drenched in rich, creamy white chocolate, Malibu Rocks™ became an instant sensation. Vetted by elite retailers, this signature treat has been successfully sold in major department stores like Nordstrom and Bullock’s (now Macy’s), as well as seventy-five premium gift boutiques across California, Florida, and Maryland.

Wishing you a sweet journey ahead - with warmest regards,

About Us
35 YEARS OF EXCELLENCE
​
Our Story: From A Coal Pot in Barbados to Southern California Icons
The story of Sweetreats by Lattis began more than three decades ago, rooted in a lifelong passion for the art of baking and cooking.
I first discovered the joy of culinary design as a young girl growing up in Barbados. Being "knee-high to a grasshopper" and unable to safely reach the kitchen stove, I used my mother’s traditional coal pot to carefully simmer soups, stews, and any ingredients she would trust to my care. Before long, I graduated to baking, meticulously teaching myself to recreate elegant desserts, artisanal breads, and cakes inspired by the vibrant pages of Ebony magazine.
When I moved to the United States, that foundational love only deepened. I honed my skills in my kitchen, driven purely by a dedication to flawless taste and beautiful presentation.
​
The Sweetreats Legacy & Future
That lifelong passion ultimately culminated in the opening of my landmark boutique storefronts, beginning in Studio City and expanding into Sherman Oaks. Over the years, Sweetreats grew from a beloved local favorite into a nationwide e-commerce operation, shipping premium baked goods to loyal customers across all 50 states and crafting custom specialty items for major networks like NBC and entertainment legends.
Today, our vision is expanding. We are currently streamlining our core repertoire and restructuring our business model to scale the Sweetreats experience through strategic regional franchises and standalone flagship storefronts.
We are so glad you stopped by. Take a look around, enjoy the artistry of our signature lines, and check back often as we prepare to launch our next exciting chapter.
Bon Appétit,
