About Michele "La Doña"

Michele’s journey began in the humble confines of her apartment, where she set out to create food and smiles one pastry at a time. Drawing on her Venezuelan heritage and passion for baking, she began selling traditional pavlovas—a beloved sweet from her homeland. With a meticulous eye for detail and an innate knack for flavor, her creations quickly caught the spotlight. As she honed her craft working in Miami’s bustling kitchens, Michele accumulated the expertise needed to bring her vision to life. Today, with the support of friends and a thriving community, Doña Posada at The Citadel stands as a vibrant testament to her creativity, determination, and entrepreneurial spirit.
