Sara Ayyash - Pastry Chef / Owner
She lives a simple life. She loves her little girl, gregarious husband, every animal she’s ever met, and SUGAR! Her formal pastry training was from the Florida Culinary Institute in West Palm Beach Florida. The reality is she spent many years chasing her sugar obsession. For an artist, this isn’t just a career, it’s a demanding life filled with long exhausting nights, missed holidays and weekends, but just like sugar … it’s a life worth craving. This passion and drive is why every delicious confection made in our shop is our promise is to ensure your happiness.
