At our core, we’re not just bakers, we’re memory-makers. Whether it’s a birthday, a quiet Sunday, or a moment that needs a little sweetness, we believe in turning everyday occasions into something special.
At our family-owned bakery, every item is handcrafted with heart, tradition, and a personal touch you won’t find anywhere else. We specialize in custom cakes and cupcakes for every occasion, alongside a daily selection of fresh pastries, pies, cake slices, and more—all made in-house with high-quality ingredients. Rooted in our local community, we combine the warmth of home baking with the creativity and care that turns every treat into something truly memorable.
Every item is baked fresh, never frozen, never pre-made.
We use real butter, premium flour, and fresh seasonal produce.
From themed cakes to corporate gifting, we bring your vision to life.
From our oven to your hands, your order is handled with love.
I came to Hilton Head, South Carolina in 2000 from Uruguay and began working at a local bakery. I fell in love with baking, especially cake decorating.
Before I knew it, I bought Ronnie’s Bakery on the island in 2002 and soon opened a second store. I needed help so my parents came to my rescue and we all pitched in. Ronnie’s Bakery is now located in Bluffton, South Carolina.
I knew my future was in specialty cake decorating, so I started taking classes in Chicago at the Wilton School. Within a short period of time I was taking Master Courses in cake decorating and now go every year to all sorts of bakery and cake decorating conventions all over the United States.
I love to create someone’s special occasion cake. My customers come in with their idea and I immediately start visualizing the decoration in my mind.
I especially love to make wedding cakes. It is an important day for that couple and their guests and I know lots of people get to see and eat my creation.
I love the challenge of doing something different and I love to see the expressions on my customers faces when they come to my store to pick up the cake.
I hope you enjoy looking at some of my products in the rest of my website pages. I have too many to show you here. So come to my store or email me when that special occasion occurs and we’ll work together on your idea.
Hi, I’m Gioella Sarli — Lou’s daughter and one of the proud owners of Ronnie’s Bakery.
The bakery has been part of my life since I was just a baby. My mom bought it when I was only a few months old, and I grew up surrounded by the sweet smells of cakes baking and the sound of joy that came with every celebration she helped create. Watching her work her magic inspired me from the very beginning.
As a little girl, I would beg my mom to take me to cake conventions — those were some of the best days of my life. I was completely mesmerized by the artistry, creativity, and passion of the baking world. I dreamed even then about having a bakery of my own one day.
After high school, that dream never wavered. I went on to earn my degree in Pastry Arts from Escoffier Culinary School, and now I get to do what I love every single day — create beautiful, delicious treats that bring joy to others.
Baking has always been more than just a skill for me — it’s a lifelong passion and a deeply personal part of who I am. I feel incredibly lucky to share this journey with my family, and even more honored to share our creations with you and the rest of the community.
We’re here to make your celebrations brighter, your cravings satisfied, and your dessert table unforgettable. With each bite, we hope you taste the care and passion that goes into everything we do.
“From the beautiful packaging to the incredible flavours, everything screamed quality. I gifted a dessert box to my colleague, and she was in tears. It’s not just dessert, it’s a whole experience.”

We will help you situate your order in your car if needed. Please drive very carefully, not slamming breaks or turning too sharp and make sure the cake is leveled wherever you put it in your vehicle!
