From mouth-watering rugelach and cookies to delectable challah breads and babkas, Samz Sweetz has something for every sweet tooth.
Meet Samz Sweetz

Samantha Bayer, the genius behind Samz Sweetz, is not only a master baker but also a true artist. Each creation is made with love, care, and the finest ingredients. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or just treating yourself, Samz Sweetz is here to add a touch of sweetness to your day.
At Samz Sweetz, the mission is to share her culture through freshly baked goods, using baking and Judaism as a platform for meaningful conversations. Not only is Samantha a marvelous baker but I can honestly say that she is one of my best friends. I met Samantha right after Covid at a friend's birthday party, and when she mentioned she had baked the cake and was starting a baking business, I couldn't help but think, "Oh great, another pandemic baker." Let's face it, everyone was convinced they were the next baking sensation during lockdown. But boy, was I in for a treat! Samantha not only followed through with her baking dreams, but she also whipped up some of the most delicious treats I've ever tasted. Her challah bread and cookies are so good, they could make even the grumpiest quarantine sourdough enthusiast smile.
Samantha, a 28-year-old Arizona native, has been delighting taste buds with her baking prowess for three years. Starting her business with a focus on baking Challah bread, her favorite creation, she now runs a thriving bakery with her younger sister. When she's not in the kitchen, Samantha is a devoted caretaker for twins, a proud plant and cat mama, and an avid outdoor enthusiast. Whether she's hiking, skiing, camping, or hitting the gym, she stays active and enjoys the beauty of nature. A lover of books and hot tea, she participates in a book club, and her love for travel is complemented by her delicious traveling Rugelach.
