About Artful Sweets
Welcome! I'm so glad you found me. I look forward to learning all about your celebration, wishes, dreams, and how I can help make your special day spectacular.
All of us have a happy place - mine is in the kitchen. I'm that person who reads cookbooks in bed as if they were novels, hunts for farmers markets wherever I go, is insatiably curious about trends and new techniques, and thrills to the sight of licked clean dessert plates. Passion is contagious - I can't wait to share mine with you!!
current loves...
+ Thai mango and sticky rice
+ vacations in Mexico
