| A message from Barbara:
"As a young child, I was always intrigued with setting a beautiful table. Over the years, planning the details of a successful party, no matter what the event - from 10 to 600 - became my passion.
From the decor of a room (to set the mood), to scrumptious appetizers and delicious edible dessert gifts for your guests take home - every aspect, every detail, that is my forte. I can customize every client request and create an event that perfectly says who they are. It is so rewarding when a client is delighted and in awe by the taste and presentation of the food and ambiance we can create. Building memorable experiences are our greatest achievement.
It is an incredible thing to have a love and passion for creating and eating great food and turning your passion into a thriving business. I am thrilled to be building our newest venture - Dessert Sinsations Cafe - with my husband Richard, a dream we'll be launching in early spring.
I am so blessed with my beautiful, loving family, many friends, and a loyal clientele who have supported my endeavors throughout my career.
We look forward to very exciting times ahead and invite you to join us at our new location when we open very soon."
