Craved Creations adds a nostalgic twist to League City sweets Craved Creations blends timeless and trendy, with its light blue cottage exterior, green vines wrap around the walls, and fresh owers greeting customers as they walk up to the counter to order fresh cookies or cupcakes. The decor matches its vintage-loving owner, Kalie Trahan. While attending business school at the Univer- sity of Houston-Clear Lake, Trahan used baking as a side business before deciding she could make a career out of it. Nine years later, Craved Creations is a thriving bakery that sells around 40 custom cake orders a week and 200 cupcakes daily, along with other sweet treats. From the oven Trahan said she uses beloved family recipes and experiments with ingredients to create classic and unique desserts. “Our cinnamon rolls are super popular,” Trahan said. “It’s actually my great grandma’s recipe and like a super old recipe … [with] real homemade yeast and everything, but it’s worth the time that goes into it.” The local impact As for her favorite part of the job, Trahan said she loves being a part of customers’ happy moments. “I love to be a part of their special days, and that they picked me to be a part of those days with them,” Trahan said.
Trahan opened Craved Creations right after she graduated from college with a business degree.
