Baking With Purpose
Artaynia Westfall has spent over a decade feeding Milwaukee's soul — one cupcake, one event, one family at a time.
From the Kitchen to the Community
Artaynia Westfall's love for baking started young — watching her grandmother turn simple ingredients into something magical. That spirit of generosity became the foundation of everything she built in Milwaukee.
Long before Arty's Sweettalk Cupcakes became a local staple, Artaynia was feeding neighbors, donating trays of treats to churches, youth programs, and block parties throughout the city. Baking was never just a business — it was a calling.
A Legacy of Sweetness
