A confectioner born in Atibaia, a municipality in the
state of Sao Paulo, Brazil.
As a child growing up in Brazil, Brigadeiro was (and still
is) the sweet for every day and every occasion.
My family and I would always be making them for
various events or just on the spur of the moment, so
Brigadeiro has always been a big passion of mine!
I moved to London in 2001 where I lived for 12 years.
Since then I have moved around quite a bit and now
live in Northern Ireland.
Using the knowledge from a lifetime with this
gorgeous dessert, I decided to enhance the taste and
the experience of eating it.
I took several courses on how to produce the
gourmet style Brigadeiro and its various applications
to give that extra special quality.
in 2021 I launched Kay Treats so that I could share
my passion and the many delicious possibilities of
my favourite sweet with all of you.
I am always taking and in search of new courses
and qualifications in order to maintain my own high
standards and continually improve.
I love selling at markets and fairs as I get to engage
with customers, as well as just getting to meet
people and socialise. The great thing about markets
is I get to see the pleasure that people get from
tasting my products.
I also find selling at markets has helped boost my
online sales which represented a big challenge
when I first started.
The business has been going for 2 and half years
now which has included a big move from England to
Northern Ireland and without the help of friends and
family I would not have progressed as I have.
Even though we are facing challenging times and
the food industry is more competitive and diverse
than ever, I can see the steady waves that my
products are making.
My ambition is to become a well-known and
respected brand within this industry, and I
have every confidence that as long as I keep
engaging with and bringing pleasure to the
palettes of my customers this is a very
achievable milestone.
Kay Treats is fully licenced and has a 5-star
food hygiene rating. Brigadeiro Gourmet
(Brazilian Gourmet Sweets), Brigadeiro related
products and Artisan Chocolates are my
business!
...And if you are not in Northern Ireland, fear
not, I offer UK wide delivery!
