About
**Please serious inquiries only! **
My name is Makaila, and I started Kaila’s Kitchen in 2023. The business is rooted in both my six years of culinary experience and my genuine love for creating delicious food, drinks, and desserts for the people I care about most. When you choose us, that same love and attention to detail goes into making sure you and your guests enjoy a truly one-of-a-kind experience.
We specialize in stunning charcuterie feature tables and cups, upscale and casual meal catering, and an exceptional variety of handmade desserts and dessert bars. Our services are available individually or as part of customizable packages, and we cater events both big and small- always tailored to your vision.
We’re here to take the stress out of entertaining by providing fresh, flavorful meals and beautifully presented dishes. From unforgettable appetizer stations and charcuterie displays to our crowd-pleasing Taco and Bowl Bars, every menu is designed to impress. Our dessert bars feature a wide selection of customizable treats- from rich cheesecakes and gooey cookies to chocolate-covered fruit and more.
Need drinks too? We’ve got you covered with mocktails, tea, coffee, juice blends, garnishes, and more. Want to elevate the presentation? Choose from elegant upgrades, rustic trays, florals, and balloon décor with our optional add-ons.

I had the pleasure of working with Makaila for my wedding, not only did the food and desserts come out absolutely amazing and leaving people wanting more but her work ethic and her kindness are truly what won us over. Wedding planning can be so stressful however, the one part I can say with confidence that had me feeling at ease was catering with her as she made everything so easy and was very honest and open throughout the entire process. She genuinely tries to look for what will work best for you while staying close to your vision for your event. I can’t express my thanks enough. And pleaseeee try the tres leches! :)

Hands down the BEST decision we made for our work event — Kaila’s Kitchen & Cocktails and Confections was a game-changer.
We recently hired Kaila for a large office event, and I cannot recommend her enough. From the first conversation, she was professional, organized, and actually listened to what we needed. But what really stood out was how much passion and care she puts into every single detail.
The food? Absolutely incredible. Everything was fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor — not your average catered meal. The sliders, pasta, and desserts were a huge hit. People were going back for seconds (and thirds), and all I kept hearing was, “Who catered this?!” — That’s when you know it’s good.
But it wasn’t just the food — Kaila offers the full package. From customized cocktails to creative dessert displays, she takes your event to another level. It’s rare to find someone who handles both the savory and sweet side of things, and does it all with this level of quality.
On top of that, working with a small, local business owner like Kaila made the experience feel personal — not like dealing with some big, corporate catering company where you’re just another order.
If you’re planning an office event, party, or honestly any gathering — do yourself a favor and book Kaila’s Kitchen / Cocktails and Confections. Your guests will rave about it, and you’ll look like the hero for making it happen.

We hired Cocktails and Confections for our wedding treat table and it was ABSOLUTE PERFECTION! Makaila was professional, friendly, and brought our vision to life.
The treats were not only delicious but also beautifully displayed. Our guests raved about the variety and quality of the desserts.
We can't recommend Cocktails and Confections enough! If you're looking for a show-stopping treat table that will impress your guests, look no further!
Thank you Makaila for making our wedding day even sweeter!
