Revive MUSE Cheesecakes

Hello! My name is Kiana Lee and I am the owner/baker behind the brand MUSE Cheesecakes!

I actually started this venture back in 2015. Not knowing it was going to become what it has today, I moved to Portland in 2019 with my dream solidified and focused on building the business and eventually owning my own little bakery! Through countless impossible circumstances, sacrifices, time, countless hours, and money, the dream finally came true at the beginning of 2024… but I could not sustain it and closed my doors to my first bakery on October 26.

The thing is, I don’t really want to close.

I work a second job at Grand Central Bakery, and have been throughout the entire time of owning the shop - in hopes that eventually the shop would grow to a point where I could quit my job and focus solely on it.

I would like to reopen my doors, but I’m going to need help to do so.

I am asking humbly for your support to properly sustain the overhead it will take to reopen, and I need to be able to hire someone to take on the admin and marketing side of things, and someone for production, so that I can focus on the creativity!

You see, this whole entire time I have been working, building, growing, and balancing everything by myself, and I realized I just can’t wear all the hats anymore, which I believe is why the first iteration of this failed shortly after opening the doors.

So with my whole heart, I am asking for and grateful to you in advance for support, keeping the dream alive!
