Hi, I’m Giovanna — the Pastry Chef and owner behind Dulcini 🤍

I’ve been a Pastry Chef for over 17 years, and I truly cannot imagine myself doing anything else. Everything I create is made from scratch with passion, creativity, and most importantly, love. Food is a language — and baking has always been my greatest expression of love ✨

After graduating from Culinary School in 2008, I started my career as a cake decorator before moving into fine dining and luxury hotels in Puerto Rico, where I developed my skills creating plated desserts and wedding cakes.

A few years later, I was given the opportunity to become a Pastry Chef Instructor in Puerto Rico — a role that completely changed my life. Teaching allowed me to help others grow, discover their talent, and pursue their own culinary dreams.

Throughout the years, every opportunity pushed me one step higher in my career, allowing me to grow both professionally and creatively as a Pastry Chef. Each experience taught me something valuable and helped shape the pastry chef I am today ✨

But through every chapter of my career, one dream always stayed in my heart: owning my own bakery.

Dulcini is not just a business to me — it’s the dream I’ve carried with me since culinary school 18 years ago. Behind every dessert and cake is a professional Pastry Chef who has dedicated her life to this craft and is working hard every single day to turn this dream into a reality 🤍

Thank you for the love, respect & support ✨

EVERY DETAIL HAS A PURPOSE. 🤎✨

There is so much love and intention behind every single creation that leaves my kitchen.

As a Pastry Chef, I don’t just think about how a dessert will look. I think about the entire experience—the flavor combinations, textures, sweetness, balance, and even how each component comes together in every bite.

From the cinnamon roll base of our Chocolate Chip Cinnamon Roll Bread Pudding, to the salted caramel, fresh vanilla bean whipped cream, chocolate and fresh strawberry… every element is there for a reason. 🍓🍫

I want that first bite to make you stop for a second and say, “Wow.” 🤎

That is what Dulcini is about for me: creating desserts with intention, quality, creativity, and a whole lot of love.

From my hands to your table. 🤍

🇵🇷 HAPPY HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH 🇵🇷✨

This photo takes me back to Puerto Rico in 2022, when I was working on Dulcini and trying to turn a dream into something real.

At the time, I had no idea where life would take me. Years later, I’m building Dulcini here in Connecticut, but Puerto Rico is still at the heart of everything I create.

I am Puerto Rican. I am Latina. I am Caribbean. And I am incredibly proud of the culture, flavors, traditions, strength, and creativity that have shaped the woman and Pastry Chef I am today. 🤎

You can see my roots in my flavors, my pastries, and in every little piece of home I bring into Dulcini.

And deep in my heart, the dream has never changed. I still hope that one day I can go back to my island and build Dulcini there too. 🇵🇷

Maybe Connecticut is the chapter where I grow, learn, and prepare for everything that is still ahead… but I still dream about the day I can say:

We made it back home. 🤍

And to all my Boricuas out there — keep shining, keep thriving, and keep representing.

We are talented. We are creative. We are resilient. We are powerful. We belong in every room, every industry, and every space we dream of entering.

Never let anyone make you forget who you are or where you come from.

Somos Boricuas. Somos orgullo. Somos fuerza. Y seguimos dejando nuestra huella dondequiera que vamos. 🇵🇷✨

From Puerto Rico to Connecticut… and one day, back home again.
