Ive utilized Ziads talents several times for events. His appetizers and desserts are always a hit and beyond delicious! His rose pistachio tres leche cake is to die for. I have never seen a cake disappear so quickly.

I’m especially glad you loved the rose pistachio tres leches cake, that one is definitely a favorite.
Looking forward to cooking for you again soon!
