- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I went to Georgia State University for 3 years and was always cooking and baking for roommates and friends. Eventually I had to move to Boston to be with family, and went to culinary school. Once I finished, I was hired by my internship right away and I was able to experiment and do some Research and Development for them. My father always loved sweets, and when he was diagnosed with cancer he really cherished those cravings. I would bake for him at home when I could, he always loved to bring extras to the office while he was still healthy enough and they appreciated it. Eventually I got the idea to try and do things on my own, and once I finally get my own bakery I would dedicate his favorite dessert to him for Fred Friday's where any military personnel and family could get a free brownie with purchase on a Friday. Once he passed, I just knew I had to make it happen, for the both of us.
