Sara Ho, at just 25 years old opened À LA WAFFLE. Having her own bakery has been a life long dream of her’s and it came true on July 11, 2017 when she opened À LA WAFFLE.

Her infatuation for baking and desserts started at a very young age; at only 5 years old, Sara began studying all the cookbooks at her local libraries and began developing her own version of "culinary school" throughout the years with countless books, videos, the internet, and research from traveling the world and trying all kinds of desserts (including the Belgian Waffle from Belgium!). She would continue baking desserts at home for herself, family, friends, friends of friends, and then during college she started catering for weddings and parties.

Sara created countless desserts throughout all the years in her free time when she wasn’t working countless jobs as a waitress, secretary, intern, and being a full time student at California State University of Long Beach. She graduated from CSULB in 2015 with a BA in American Studies and a minor in Hospitality Foodservice and Hotel Management. As much as she felt she learned from her studies, she was still eager to find a job in a kitchen doing what she loved. She found herself a position working at Roy’s Hawaiian Fusion Restaurant and started her first official professional cooking gig as a line cook where she specialized in pastry, there she realized that making desserts was no longer just a hobby, it was something more than that, she absolutely loved it and knew now that she could make a career out of food and be the happiest person doing so.

After her time at Roy’s, she realized that in order to do what she loved and also support herself, she needed to do it differently, she knew she had to work for herself and start that bakery she had always dreamed of since she was little. Now with the full support from her family and friends and countless hours of work by Sara and her loved ones, À LA WAFFLE has been created and Sara can not wait to keep providing you all with high quality desserts to keep everyone’s sweet tooth delighted.

A transaction fee of 5% plus $0.30 will be applied, to ensure that the intended bid amount is received by the organization.
