Chef Christie Wheeler was born and raised in the small town of  Pringletown, South Carolina. As the only girl among four children, Christie grew up taking on the responsibilities early in life helping her single mother care for her brothers. One of those responsibilities was cooking meals, which sparked her lover for baking. She often made cakes and cookies for her family, though at the time, she never imagined baking would one day become her passion and career.

​

After graduating, Christie joined the military and pursued various jobs, but deep down, she always felt there was something more she wanted to do. That moment of clarity came with the birth of her daughter, Jaymi-Kristina. Christie realized she wanted to teach her daughter to never let fear stand in the way of pursuing her dreams.

​

 Fueled by this inspiration Christie founded Take A Bite Desserts, starting with cookies, cakes, cupcakes and her signature chewies. While satisfying, she envisioned more than just traditional desserts-she wanted to elevate her craft and offer upscale delicacies like macarons, eclairs, and creme brulee. 

​

Determined to follow her calling, Christie enrolled in culinary school to refine skills and turn her vision into reality. Today, as a pastry chef, she creates exquisite desserts that delight not only the taste buds but also the spirit. Her journey is a testament to perseverance, passion, and the belief that it's never too late to follow your dreams.
