Our Story

An unlikely friendship, turned into a partnership

Hey! We're Jay & J (Jesse)! We absolutely ADORE baking, so much so, that we've decided to start a business doing what we already LOVE & we're both graduates of the YCAP (Youth Culinary Arts Program.) Jay has already been making a name for himself on instagram @jayraycookies, & Jesse's just ready to get his bake on! Locally owned & operated, in Calgary Alberta & proud members of the 2SLGBTQI+ community! Give us a like on  Facebook or follow us on Instagram to watch our journey unfold.

Jay’s Ray Cookies

I am passionate about all things baking, and will continue developing unique creations and one-of-a-kind flavor profiles. My dream is to one day open my own bakery/café so l can share my creativity with the world… (or at least the City of Calgary). I want to make sweet treats and bake desserts that are inclusive to all.

Jesse, a 3x Trained (non educational) baker, and aspiring pastry chef, is a remarkable example of power of dedication and hard work. Since he was young, he discovered his love for baking and improved his skills through sheer determination. Despite starting with very little, Jesse pursued his dreams relentlessly and overcame challenges to achieve his current position. He not only excels in managing a kitchen but also enjoys handling big orders. Jesse embraces every challenge and takes joy in creating outstanding desserts that impress even the most discerning customers.
