Julia’s was founded in 2020 in Castle Rock, Colorado. At Julia’s we focus on building a new tradition—one built on trusted relationships and collaboration.

It’s not just about blowing out the candles, it’s about the smile on their face when they open the box.

Julia+and+her+family

Turning precious moments into lasting memories.

About the Founder

Julia McConnaughey, founder of Julia’s Specialty Bakes feels that cooking a meal or dessert is one of the most intimate things you can do for another, yet growing up with such a large family this is something we all did - so innately and so often. Baking with her own hands, sharing her love of sweet treats and having others experience amazing tastes is something Julia lives for. 

Julia originally started off with creating her own cookbook called DISH, which was solely inspired by her family. DISH is filled with recipes that come from the heart and roots of her family. Now, with Julia’s Specialty Bakes, she can take these recipes off the pages and into your mouths!
