Our Story
At Phillips Sweet Treats, we believe every dessert should create a moment worth remembering. Founded by Chef Nekeith Phillips, our Gainesville-based dessert brand was built from a passion for handcrafted sweets, family, and bringing people together through food.
Originally from Tallahassee, Florida, Chef Nekeith moved to Gainesville to pursue his education and culinary journey. After studying Culinary Arts and Culinary Operations Management at the Auguste Escoffier School of Culinary Arts, he turned his love for baking into a growing business focused on premium desserts, custom catering, and unforgettable experiences.
From rich pound cakes and cupcakes to dessert jars, specialty treats, and custom event catering, every item is made with quality ingredients, creativity, and care. Whether serving weddings, birthday parties, baby showers, festivals, or local pop-up events, Phillips Sweet Treats is dedicated to delivering desserts that feel both homemade and elevated.
As a proud husband, father, and community-focused chef, Nekeith created Phillips Sweet Treats to be more than a bakery — it's a brand built on love, celebration, and connection.
Today, Phillips Sweet Treats continues to bring sweet moments to Gainesville and beyond through beautiful desserts, premium presentation, and genuine hospitality.
"Baked with purpose. Made to remember."
