Welcome to Sweet Nelly’s
Hi sweeties, I’m so glad you’re here. My name’s Vanessa—but around these parts, I go by Nelly—and this little bakery of mine started with a mixing bowl, a wooden spoon, and a whole lot of love.
I grew up in East Tennessee, where baking was a part of life, cookies made from old family recipes, pies filled with chocolate and nuts, and a kitchen that always smelled like home. My love for baking really bloomed in high school, when I realized it wasn’t just something I was good at—it was something that brought people joy. Since then, I’ve been chasing that feeling with every cookie, cake, and cream pie I make.
Sweet Nelly’s is my way of sharing those memories—and making new ones with you. Every treat is handcrafted with care, inspired by family traditions, seasonal flavors, and the beautiful landscape we call home. Whether I’m at the farmers market in Oak Ridge or setting up shop in Knoxville, you’ll find me with a table full of goodies and a smile, ready to share something sweet.
So come on in, take a look around, and let’s make life a little sweeter—one bite at a time. 💖
