Joyce Tang started her career in tech, but left for culinary school in 2015. She worked in bakeries and restaurants all over the Bay Area. Joyce founded Bake Sum as a pop-up in the midst of the 2020 pandemic. The bakery has since grown into a pink storefront in Oakland where she delights fans with her fluffy, colorful, and creative takes on pastry.
