Amaru Confections Announces New Owner

About The Owner:

Amaru Confections started in 2000 in the kitchen of Aimee and Chris Wyatt’s apartment. Aimee saw a great need in Boise for beautiful custom cakes that were also incredibly delicious. So she started by creating custom cakes for her friends and family until she took her passion to the public. After years of custom orders being fulfilled out of their home and a small 900 sq ft. baking space, Amaru finally had a bakery and storefront in 2012. As the demand and brand grew, the couple realized they needed to find a larger space. They moved the baking to a much larger warehouse where it still takes place. 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. After Kathie graduated, she moved back to Boise to pursue her dreams. Her first job was at Berry Hill & Co., a well-known restaurant in Boise for its incredible dining experience. She baked many of the goods for them and their sister restaurant, Bacon.

After several years of working at Berryhill, Kathie decided she wanted to explore other aspects of the pastry world. When she applied to Amaru Confections in 2015, she had no idea that someday she would own it. She spent three years learning how to run production, manage a pastry team and create the most magnificent pieces of edible art. When the opportunity to purchase Amaru arose, she jumped at the idea of making her second home her own.
