About Us

Sweet D's is an online bakery and full catering company. Julianne Tialavea AKA "Julz" graduated with her Culinary Arts Degree in 2011.  Three years later she opened up Sweet D's--a tribute to her late father, Don Tialavea, by using his nickname.  For Sweet D, socializing always included service and good food!  Julz comes from a long line of great cooks.  Her great-grandmother filled the plates daily of the Alhambra Fire Department; her grandfather Sonny was a cook in the army; and, her grandma Shirley ensured nobody left her house without experiencing her unforgettable food!  Julz gained the love for baking/cooking by watching her mother Tami carry on the family tradition.  With over 100 first cousins, cooking for large groups became second nature for Julz.  These wonderful influences led her to this amazing journey of Sweet D's.
