After 15 years of dabbling in and out of the home bakery scene, starting from humble beginnings doing custom wedding cakes to running banquet and catering operations statewide, serving smiles and building her baking presence while trying to balance a family life, she decided to jump in all or nothing to bring Nebraska a slice of happiness, a whisp of wonder, and a warm welcome place to indulge.

Joyetta Roy is a diversely trained flavor artist who has honed her baking skills from Utah all the way to sunny Florida. From scratch-made doughnuts and breads to hot, fresh cookies, wedding cakes, and many culinary delights in-between, her years of experience are easily recognized. Any chance she gets, Joyetta is consistently searching out as well as innovating new ideas when it comes to what lies underneath the pretty exterior of culinary delights. She has a passion to incorporate new techniques and flavor ideas found only by someone intrigued by many cultures, forgotten recipes of old, and new innovative ideas, bringing them together for a perfect slice unlike any other blending culture, friendship, and heritage!

People first eat with their eyes, but after the initial bite, her desserts will have your senses reaching out for more. Each made-from-scratch dessert is mindfully thought out from the first glance to the sweet aroma dancing through the air, your first taste, discovering flavors and textures only dreamt about before. This is when it suddenly hits you—why it's called A Slice Above!

Joyetta's baking journey began as a child. She baked with her mom, who was always the first to welcome someone new into the neighborhood with a casserole, and at Christmas time, she made special cookies to deliver to the neighbors. Joyetta's mom taught her that sharing food is an act of kindness, a piece of your heart; it's love! In the future, Joyetta came back to her first love (baking) and became intrigued by the science behind making the perfect baked goods. 

Countless all-nighters, recipes smudged with drops of vanilla, coffee, and other regularly used ingredients, and handwriting that only she can decipher because of the endless scribbles of trial and error that only come from the kind of dedication to her craft that you will recognize at first bite. Joyetta sought out the perfect vanilla cake recipe, never satisfied with the results. Her tireless strife for perfection only came from countless hours of reading and experimenting in the kitchen, leading up to perfection—a perfect slice of wedding cake. At A Slice Above, we offer not only exceptional cake but also bake up lasting memories!
