Single mom to a very spirited and spunky little girl. Dog mom to a very tiny Yorkie, King, and very chunky pittie, Sky. Plant mom to more plants than I choose to count.

I’m Dara Staggers, owner of Staggeringly Delicious.

I started my baking journey around 15 years ago, whipping up treats for friends and family. To my surprise, I found that I had a knack for it. Once I realized that, I began making decorated cakes for children’s birthday parties, which led to orders from beyond my immediate social circle. As demand increased, I sought out a space to open a brick-and-mortar bakery. In 2021, I partnered with Glow Worm Cafe & Play to open my storefront. We happily coexist at 962 Barret Ave, nestled between Ultra Pop and Unorthodox in the Original Highlands.

As a self-taught baker, I've spent countless hours watching tutorials and diving into cookbooks to sharpen my skills. I truly enjoy creating unique desserts and pastries, and I see challenges as chances to grow. My commitment to baking often keeps me awake at night as I constantly seek to improve and produce remarkable creations.

Stop in and give us a try! You don’t need kids to enjoy the cafe and bakery — just a desire to eat delicious food.
