About
I have been working in the Pastry Arts for 12 years, and received my degree from Johnson & Wales University in 2003.

In 1995, I started my culinary career at the Sweet Heart Market as a baker and cake decorator. In 1999, I joined the Century Club, a private country club in upstate New York as the head Pastry Chef. It was here that I realized that I had a love for creating unique and exquisite pastries.

I decided to pursue a degree in the pastry arts at Johnson & Wales University, located in Charleston, SC. While pursuing my education at Johnson & Wales, I gained valuable experience at the Westin Resort and the Café at Wexford, both located on Hilton Head Island.

Upon graduation, I honed my skills at Kaminsky's dessert café, a local Charleston favorite for the sweet tooth. In the Fall of 2004, I was asked to join the opening pastry team for The Sanctuary hotel, located on Kiawah Island Resort. Now, I am able to bring my passion and creativity to you.

Tips and Advice

Since Charleston is a top five vacation and wedding destination, we strongly urge you to schedule your tasting at least 4-6 months in advance.  Since we limit the number of cakes we create on any given weekend, we tend to book rather quickly. 

March, April, May, June, September, and October tend to be the peak months for the wedding season.  So, timing is everything in scheduling your venue and caterers!
