At Traveling Tarts, the best luxury baking experiences in Los Angeles are as seamless as they are sweet…and that’s thanks to Denise Kato, our behind-the-scenes magic maker.

Denise is not only co-founder of Traveling Tarts. She’s the steady hand behind every event. From our interactive pie and tart baking parties to corporate dessert workshops and private Encino kitchen classes, she ensures that every detail is picture-perfect.

As our in-house professional photographer, Denise captures the joy of each hands-on baking experience. Her stunning photos showcase everything from flaky crusts and fresh berries to laughter-filled moments in our garden-to-table setup. These shots often end up in press, on our Instagram @traveling_tarts, and as cherished memories for our guests.

But Denise does more than just document the fun. She:

• Helps plan and customize your take-home baking menu

• Assists each guest through the tart or pie-making process

• Oversees décor, design, and event flow

• Helps manage logistics at off-site events, popup dessert activations, and VIP baking parties

Whether you’re attending one of our baking classes in Encino, hosting a team-building event, or planning a party for your closest friends, Denise is the reason every event feels elevated, elegant, and effortless.

As Kara always says:

“I couldn’t do this without Denise.”

We couldn’t agree more.
