Genevieve Pastry

Hillsborough-based baker Aliesha Vinar developed her love for her craft as a child while spending time in the kitchen alongside her mother and grandmother. That passion inspired her to establish Genevieve Pastry to share her decadent cakes and other desserts with her community.

Collaborating closely with clients, couples, planners and other vendors to dream up inventive, fresh ideas brings Aliesha joy – in addition to baking, of course. “This is the fun part of wedding planning,” Aliesha says. “We get to collaborate with you to create your dream dessert experience.”

Dynamic Non-Traditional Wedding Desserts by Genevieve Pastry

Aliesha loves to experiment with new recipes, ingredients and styles. She offers a number of cake and dessert options, including statement, one-of-a-kind wedding cakes, sheet cakes, mini dessert bars, custom dessert displays and French-style pastries. 

“We create dramatic, statement cakes as an artful focal point that reflects your personal style and story,” Aliesha says. “We offer a wide menu of pastry options and optional styling for an elevated dessert bar experience. Tiramisu, macarons, choux cream puffs, flourless chocolate cake bites and mini pavlovas are some popular favorites. We offer gluten-free-friendly cake and pastry options as well.”

Creative Hillsborough, NC Wedding Baker

Genevieve Pastry values sustainable practices and supports other local small businesses by sourcing ingredients and fresh florals from Triangle-based farmers. “We use local and seasonal ingredients to create exceptional, customized flavors for memorable desserts your guests will truly enjoy,” Aliesha says. 

Madeleines, eclairs, cream puffs and meringues can be built into gorgeous pastry towers, and customized shortbread or macaron boxes make for delectable wedding guest favors.

“Genevieve Pastry is a LGBTQ+ safe environment,” Aliesha says. “We welcome all types of couples and celebrations.”
