COOKING SINCE 1985
Mac & Cheese has always been my specialty. Everybody I know has always told me that it was so insanely good and that I needed to start selling it. I eventually came up with a unique idea of creating a one-of-a kind, crispy, cheesy mac & cheese cupcakes with toppings.
I have received overwhelmingly positive feedback since I've launched this product in the Suffolk County, NY area. People rave about the ingenuity of savory flavors melted into one of their favorite formats ever: cupcakes!
OUR STORY
My passion to cook came naturally; helping my grandmother prepare Southern Sunday dinners and extravagant holiday meals nurtured my appreciation for the art. I took pride in helping her with the preparations, such as setting tables, cutting and washing fresh vegetables, cleaning and trimming the meat.
I prepared and cooked my first meal at the tender age of 14. I was bubbling with pride as I served my family Stew Beef and Butter Egg Noodles. I can still hear my grandmother calling her best friend and saying, “Dotty, this girl made stew beef; it’s so tender and good.” Since that day, cooking has always brought me joy and excitement.
When I was 19, and on my own for the first time, I prepared a huge Thanksgiving meal for both sides of my family, a Teriyaki Glazed Turkey and a Cranberry Orange Stuffing without any recipe their response to the different flavors were priceless!
I embrace diversity; I enjoy cooking Italian, Spanish, Caribbean, American, and Southern cuisine. Taking traditional recipes and making them my own is my claim to fame. I cook with passion and love; it is my greatest reward. As I embark on cooking for an even bigger audience, I welcome the challenge with the same pride and excitement as that 14-year-old girl. I started a catering business about 14 years ago, and I was inconsistent because my family was a priority, and I was a full-time caregiver to my medically Fragile daughter as I still am.
When my son turned 18 and turned 50, I decided to put my business and myself first. I knew that since Covid, I needed to come up with something unique that my company could do well and flourish. That’s when I remembered the idea of my Mac and cheese Cupcakes. My confidence came from everyone I can remember who always wanted me to make Mac & Cheese at every event Or family gathering. During the holiday season in 2014, I was cooking dinner, and my sister was baking. She had a muffin pan sitting on the counter, and I asked her, let me see that muffin pan. I will try to make mac & cheese cupcakes, and I did. They came out perfect. I never thought about them again until seven years later; it is now my specialty!
