MEET THE FOUNDER
Jose Juan
Rodríguez Jr.
FOUNDER · PASTRY CHEF · CULINARY ARTIST · HOSPITALITY CONSULTANT
Jose’s approach to pastry and entertaining was shaped by childhood days exploring Southern California gardens alongside his father. His work blends botanical inspiration, elaborate confectionery techniques, and a deep appreciation for the details of formal hospitality.
His background includes pastry work at El Caballero Country Club, experience with Horses on Sunset, and creative culinary collaborations. He specializes in sculptural cake details, gum paste flowers, and expressive dessert installations.
The story behind M.A. Confections ＋
His father called him his “little monkey” as he explored and climbed trees while accompanying him on landscaping projects. That nickname inspired the original name, Monkey Around Confections. As the business evolved, it became M.A. Confections Los Angeles Inc., incorporated in 2021.
