Founded in Old Town Temecula, Robin’s Nest Desserts & Catering has built a reputation for creating delicious, one-of-a-kind desserts and handcrafted bakery items from scratch. Led by Chef Robin McCoy, Robin’s Nest specializes in its signature Dessert Rolls, custom desserts, dessert catering, cookies, pastries, and specialty sweets for weddings, corporate events, community celebrations, and private gatherings throughout Riverside and San Diego Counties.
Using fresh, quality ingredients, each creation is made with care, creativity, and the belief that desserts should be just as memorable as the occasion. From a favorite childhood dessert to a completely new creation, Chef Robin enjoys bringing unique ideas and flavors to life.
Robin’s Nest is more than a dessert and catering company. It is a social enterprise committed to changing lives through culinary arts, hospitality, entrepreneurship, and workforce development.
Chef Robin brings years of experience combining the culinary industry with vocational education. For seven years, she served as Director of Culinary Programs and Executive Pastry Chef at Oak Grove Culinary Creations, where she directed culinary operations while teaching and mentoring students through hands-on vocational training. Her work helped young people and adults develop practical culinary, employment, and life skills while gaining experience in a working food-service environment.
Today, Robin is continuing that mission through Robin’s Nest and its workforce development initiatives, providing culinary and hospitality training opportunities for at-risk youth, foster youth, adults and children with disabilities, women rebuilding their lives, displaced workers, and individuals facing barriers to employment.
Training may include baking and pastry arts, food safety, kitchen operations, hospitality, barista skills, customer service, entrepreneurship, food business development, and hands-on employment readiness.
A major part of Robin’s current vision is the Mobile Workforce Kitchen, a mobile social-enterprise and training hub that takes culinary education directly into the community.
The mobile kitchen creates opportunities for women and other underserved participants to gain hands-on experience while learning how food businesses operate. Participants can develop culinary skills, practice customer service, participate in community events and outreach, and gain exposure to entrepreneurship and the food-truck industry.
For women rebuilding their lives or returning to the workforce, the program is designed to provide more than technical training. Robin’s approach recognizes that employment barriers may be connected to trauma, economic hardship, family responsibilities, housing instability, or a lack of previous opportunities. Training is therefore built around skill development, encouragement, mentorship, confidence, and a pathway toward greater economic independence.
When customers choose Robin’s Nest for catering, desserts, classes, or special events, they are supporting a business with a larger purpose.
Robin’s Nest continues to provide dessert catering for weddings, celebrations, corporate events, community organizations, and private gatherings, while expanding its partnerships with schools, nonprofits, workforce programs, foster-care organizations, disability service providers, and community agencies.
