The heart behind the bear.

Hi, I'm Caleb Harbeck—owner, pastry chef, and the heart behind Sweet Cubby's.

My love of pastry led me to earn a degree in Baking & Pastry Arts from Southern New Hampshire University, then to New York City, where I worked at Gramercy Tavern and CUT by Wolfgang Puck. Those experiences shaped the precision, creativity, and care I bring to every order.

When COVID changed the hospitality industry, it also changed my path. That turning point led me to open my own business. Sweet Cubby's first took root in 2020, as a way to share comfort and joy through baking. In 2022, the business was reimagined as Sweet Cubby's, inspired by my childhood nickname, “Cubby.” The name felt just right for a bakery built around warmth, connection, and treats made to be shared.

Today, I create curated pastry boxes, celebration cakes, dessert catering, and seasonal offerings in small batches—both gluten-free and traditional gluten-packed. Each recipe is thoughtfully developed, and each order is personally prepared. From a birthday cake to a wedding dessert table or a pastry box shared at home, my goal is to make the moment feel a little more special.

With gratitude,
Caleb Harbeck · Owner & Pastry Chef

Quality, care, and connection.

For me, baking is about more than what comes out of the oven. It's about making people feel welcome, bringing them together, and adding something thoughtful to the moments they share.

Sweet Cubby's is built around quality, personal care, and connection. That means paying attention to the details, listening to the people I bake for, and putting care into every order—from a treat for an ordinary afternoon to a cake for a milestone celebration.

My experience began in professional kitchens, but the heart of Sweet Cubby's is personal. I want everything I make to feel like it was made for you—because it was.

Something thoughtful for every celebration.

  • Curated pastry boxes — small-batch assortments made for gifting, sharing, and enjoying together.
  • Celebration cakes — thoughtfully made cakes for birthdays and life’s meaningful moments.
  • Dessert catering — curated sweets for gatherings, offices, celebrations, and community events.
  • Seasonal offerings — creative flavors and special treats inspired by the season.

A simple path to something special.

  1. Share your occasion: tell us your date, event, guest count, and what you have in mind.
  2. Shape the details: we'll discuss the treats, flavors, style, and needs of your celebration.
  3. Enjoy your moment: Caleb personally prepares your order with care and confirms the final details.
