She eventually sank about $30,000 of her life savings into converting a camper into a confectionery kitchen. Her big break came in 2022 when she slid into Berner's DMs on a whim. 13 Last year, a Netflix producer personally called Padrazo about making a cameo in Amy Schumer's 'Kinda Pregnant' movie.

In my mind I was like, 'this is the ultimate shooting your shot.' That's her whole schtick. She DM'd me back within minutes. She said 'Yes!'' Padrazo said of booking her first big celebrity gig. Berner gave her full creative freedom to make a three-tier, half chocolate-half funfetti wedding cake adorned with fresh blooms for her wedding to fellow comic Des Bishop, 49. It opened the door to more celebrity intros, and, eventually, Padrazo saved up enough dough to open a standalone bakery, The Treatery in Jamesport, Long Island, in late 2022. 13 Padrazo named her retro pink trailer, Stella.

It paid off. She got a shoutout on air, and Cuiffo loved the sweets so much that she hired Padrazo to create custom mini chocolate chip cookies for her wedding guests earlier this month. 13 Padrazo, who is Sicilian-American, learned to make Italian pastries, such as rainbow cookies, pignoli and zeppole, growing up.
