Meet the Hamptons cake boss beloved by Amy Schumer and Hannah Berner
She has hot wheels — and sweet treats hot out of the oven.
Long Island native Christina Padrazo, 37, is making a name for herself serving cakes and cookies to boldface clients — Amy Schumer, Hannah Berner and Paige DeSorbo, Brock Davies and Scheana Shay from “Vanderpump Rules” — from a bubblegum pink,1964 Shasta Airflyte trailer.
“I had this vision of putting desert in a vintage camper,” Padrazo told The Post.
The East Setauket native quit her corporate marketing job in 2019 to focus on her baking business. She eventually sank about $30,000 of her life savings into converting a camper into a confectionery kitchen.
Her big break came in 2022 when she slid into Berner’s DMs on a whim.
“I literally wrote to her ‘Yo b—h, you’re getting married in the Hamptons – can I please come to your wedding? I have this really cool 1964 camper. In my mind I was like, ‘this is the ultimate shooting your shot.’ That’s her whole schtick. She DM’d me back within minutes. She said ‘Yes!’” Padrazo said of booking her first big celebrity gig.
Berner gave her full creative freedom to make a three-tier, half chocolate-half funfetti wedding cake adorned with fresh blooms for her wedding to fellow comic Des Bishop, 49.
It opened the door to more celebrity intros, and, eventually, Padrazo saved up enough dough to open a standalone bakery, , in late 2022.
Last year, a Netflix producer personally called her about making a cameo in Amy Schumer’s “Kinda Pregnant” movie. They asked her and her trailer — whom she calls Stella — to appear in a scene at Wollman Rink in Central Park that featured Schumer and co-star Will Forte.
“The producer said, ‘We love Stella and we need her for this role. Have you ever heard of Amy Schumer?’” recalled Padrazo, who went on to make chocolate chip cookies, croissants, cake-sicles and cheddar chive biscuit for this role.
Never afraid to put herself out there, Padrazo popped up at the Barstool Sports office in a Knicks jacket earlier this year to serve up her mini chocolate chip cookies to co-host Ria Ciuffo.
It paid off. She got a shoutout on air, and Cuiffo loved the sweets so much that she hired Padrazo to create custom mini chocolate chip cookies for her wedding guests earlier this month.
Padrazo, who is Sicilian-American, learned to make Italian pastries, such as rainbow cookies, pignoli and zeppole, growing up.
After losing a pregnancy in 2020, she found solace in baking and growing her business.
“I almost died. I had an ectopic pregnancy,” she said. “I named [my trailer] Stella because that would have been my daughter’s name.”
While she’s sold everything from gourmet grilled cheese to her special Doughlato hybrid pastry — a warm brioche donut stuffed with gelato — wedding cakes make up most of her business these days.
“This year’s trends are wild – fruit on cake with these abstract, thick textures,” she said.
She credits her success to Berner’s sweet support. When she was nervous about appearing in Schumer’s, she texted Berner, who urged her to just be herself.
“It gave me confidence to continue shooting my shot,” Padrazo said. “Bake it till you make it!”
