At NuCave, we don’t just build spaces—we help people build dreams. And when influencer, entrepreneur, and mental health advocate Mik Zazon approached us with a vision for a custom ADU in Vista, California, we knew this was more than just a project—it was the foundation for the next chapter of her creative life.

Mik, the personality behind @mikandcookiesco, has built a devoted online community around authenticity, creativity, and baking. Her playful and bold approach to life has resonated with hundreds of thousands of followers across Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. But she needed a space that reflected her energy and gave her the tools to grow—not just as a creator, but as a teacher, entrepreneur, and host.

Turning Vision into Reality: The ADU that Became a Business Studio

When Mik came to us, she wasn’t just asking for an extra living space. She was asking for something much bigger—a space to teach, create, film, bake, and belong. Together, we imagined and built a one-of-a-kind Accessory Dwelling Unit in Vista, CA that would become the heart of her content and the soul of her cookie business.

Today, that space is more than a kitchen—it’s a cookie studio, a classroom, a production set, and a personal sanctuary.

Watch Mik walk through the space on her YouTube Channel, and you’ll see what we mean. This is where she teaches cookie decorating workshops, hosts baking parties, films step-by-step recipe videos, and invites her followers into her world—one sprinkle at a time.

Design Details That Support a Dream

Every material, layout decision, and finish in Mik’s ADU was selected to support her lifestyle and brand.

• Custom Pink Brick Backsplash
  A bold and joyful statement that instantly sets the tone. It’s not just a pretty detail—it’s a backdrop that now appears in dozens of social posts and YouTube videos, visually anchoring her cookie empire.
• Floating Wood Shelving for Cookie Jar Display
  These sleek, open shelves bring warmth and vertical movement to the kitchen, while showcasing Mik’s growing collection of whimsical cookie jars—each one with its own personality, just like her.
• White Marble Countertops
  Clean, elegant, and camera-ready. These surfaces are the perfect canvas for baking, decorating, and filming, while adding a luxurious contrast to the pink cabinetry.
• Thoughtfully Laid-Out Work Zones
  From camera-friendly lighting to functional baking space and accessible storage, the kitchen was designed for flow, creativity, and efficiency.
• A Multi-Purpose ADU
  This 360-degree design approach transformed the ADU into a hybrid space where Mik can film, work, teach, rest, and entertain—all under one (very stylish) roof.

Happiness

A Studio, A Sanctuary, A Stage

One of the most powerful things about Mik’s story is how she uses her space to connect—not just online, but in real life. Through cookie classes, community events, and heartfelt content, she’s created a brand that’s built on more than aesthetics. It’s about making people feel welcome. Feel seen. Feel like they can do something they didn’t think they could.

And that’s the kind of dream we’re honored to help bring to life.

“This space represents so much more than I thought it would,” Mik shared. “It’s where I work, where I unwind, where I make messes and memories—and where I get to teach others to do the same.”
