Dessert is a LUXURY!
so
Presentation + Taste =
EVERYTHING!
From Southern style gourmet desserts and cupcakes to custom event cakes or dessert bars to private affairs, we provide it all. Our desserts use quality ingredients while still giving you a delicious, homemade taste. Working as a pastry chef and sous chef in both bakeries and various restaurants in the past, I have over 20 years of baking and kitchen experience!
I have also received awards for baking and entrepreneurship. Along with being selected to compete in dessert competitions such as 'Dessert Wars' (2x) and 'The Greatest Baker'.
Also a poet, I curate an open mic series entitled, The Pink Room Chronicles, consisting of 2 monthly events:
1. Poetry & Cupcakes - A poetry open mic where, a FREE cupcake comes with your ticket.
2. PoeTea & Pastries - A raffle open mic followed by an interview with 2 featured artists. Enjoy a FREE cup of tea with this ticket!

After graduating, I took some cake decorating classes for fun. Upon completing those courses, I was introduced to a local baker turned mentor, Charlita Varner, who was about to open a bakery. I was able to help during that process and in January 2007, Buttersweet Bakery was opened in the Hapeville, GA area. Here is where I was able to hone in on my craft and improve my cake decorating skills. After 7 years, and due to a family emergency, I relocated back to my hometown, Philadelphia.
Baking is in my blood, as my grandfather "Benny" was also a local baker in the community as well as a baker and foreman at Hanscom Baking Co. Which was a popular bakery in Philly from the 60s-80s! Sadly, we never got the chance to bake together as he passed away when I was only 3, so I picked up where he left off!
SBC is the ONLY one in PHILLY making this.
