Bakes by Cris

Our story

Sharing joy, one slice at a time

Bakes by Cris is a small, made-to-order cheesecake kitchen run by Criselda Peña, serving the Bay Area and Modesto. What started as cheesecakes for family and friends has grown into a little business built on one idea — that something made by hand and shared around a table is worth the time it takes.

Every cheesecake is made fresh for your order and decorated by hand, from everyday favourites to seasonal flavours that come and go with the calendar.
