About Us
Shonie Schwartz is a trained chef in the pastry arts. She was educated at the French Culinary Institute in Soho, NYC. Her family life and outgoing personality has led her to extend her career from solely catering pastries to catering and teaching all areas in the culinary world.
Shonie has a true passion for food, especially desserts. She began selling pastries from her home in 2004. Whether your needs are small or large, she will definetely satisfy your sweet tooth.
Not all her items are fancy desserts...many are the usual fare just made to perfection using only the finest ingredients. Shonie found her clientele wanted good-tasting, pretty food... "nothing too fancy". Of course, she enjoys making those fancy beautiful desserts as well.
