01

Pastries.
But Dolled Up.

A Few of our Favorite Treats

Strawberries & Cream Choux

Fluffy little choux clouds stuffed with dreamy cream and bursting with juicy local strawberry goodness.

Plumcot Hazelnut Crostata

Buttery, golden pastry cradling jammy, local plumcots and nutty hazelnut crunch.

Orange Blossom Brioche Bun

Pillowy, buttery brioche with a fragrant little swoon of orange blossom.

Key Lime Pavlova

Crisp-on-the-outside, marshmallowy-in-the-middle pavlova piled high with zingy key lime and creamy goodness.

02

Little Kitchen. Big Bites.

Pichona is a Vermont-based pop-up bakery baking up familiar favorites with a little something extra. Sofia makes pastries that celebrate local fruit, produce, and grains, while taking the classics you already love and giving them their moment.

​

From flaky layers to buttery crumbs, everything is made with good ingredients, a little creativity, and a whole lot of care.

​

Local Ingredients. Familiar Favorites. A Little Bit More Fun.

The First Batch Story.

229A7614.jpg

A self-taught baker with roots in the Hudson Valley and a lifelong love of sweet treats, good ingredients, and hospitality, Sofia created Pichona as a unique, roving pop-up bakery.

Sofia has been baking since she was eight, starting with cookie logs, boxed cake mix, and a healthy dose of curiosity.

​

Inspired, in part, by the Food Network and always up for a challenge, she decided to make her mom a fondant cake from scratch for her birthday. From there, the challenges kept coming. Year after year, she found herself drawn to her mom’s KitchenAid mixer and the endless possibilities waiting to come out of the oven.

Meet Sofia Villalón.

Owner and Baker of Pichona

For more than 20 years, baking has been Sofia’s north star, guiding her toward a lifelong dream of owning and operating a bakery of her own. Pichona is one more step toward making that dream a reality.

​

The math is simple: bake the classics + celebrate the seasons = deliciously unique pastry moments.

Grab a Pastry Box

A little box of very good things, packed with Pichona pastries and seasonal surprises. Sign up for the newsletter to get first dibs when the next box drops, because the best pastries tend to disappear fast.

Custom Cakes for Everyone

Birthdays, weddings, milestones, Tuesdays, we believe there's always a reason for cake. Tell us what you're celebrating and we'll dream up something deliciously Pichona for the occasion.

Catch Pichona at a Pop-Up!

Pichona doesn't have a permanent address (which makes this so fun), so we're popping up wherever there's a good excuse for pastry aroud Vermont. Check the calendar to see where we'll be baking, what we'll be bringing, and when to show up hungry.

Come Get Your Hands Doughy

Ready to learn? Pull up a chair, roll up your sleeves, and get into the good stuff. Pichona classes are hands-on baking sessions where you'll learn the tricks, techniques, and occasional pastry magic behind the bakes.

What is "Pichona"?

Pichona is a little piece of home. My family has always called me "Pichona", a Spanish term of endearment meaning “darling.” It’s a nickname that has followed me through life, so a very fitting name for a bakery born from a lot of love, encouragement, and butter.
