Benjamin Shamoilia was living with Crohn’s disease when a flare-up in late December 2024 put him in the hospital for a couple of weeks including the holidays. Instead of giving in, he used recovery as a reset. He reinvented his life—clean eating, daily workouts, and an obsession with nutrition and wholesome ingredients.

But the sweet tooth remained and he knew that he could not eat the traditional desserts and sweets that he had previously. He started experimenting in his kitchen, rebuilding the desserts he missed using only wholesome ingredients.

The results were so great that friends and family were wanting more. Friends, family, and pastry chefs all agreed: his “better-for-you” cakes and cookies tasted better than the originals and left you feeling great and satisfied.
