Katie L.
Business Owner
Amaru Confections started in 2000 in the kitchen of Aimee and Chris Wyatt’s apartment. In 2018, the couple decided they were ready for new adventures and sold their first love to long-time employee Kathie Luna.

Kathie Luna’s love for baking started when she was just a child. She lived in Southern California just miles from the Mexico border and often spent her weekends visiting family across the Mexicali border. She still remembers helping her mother bake and decorate cakes for friends and family. It wasn’t until her parents migrated to Meridian in 2005, that her love for baking and pastry took form. She participated in culinary programs in school and found herself watching cake programs on TV. She was sold.

She attended Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts in Sacramento, California a month after graduating high school. There she learned the art of chocolate making, principles of baking, and cake decorating. She knew that someday, she wanted to own her own bakery.
