How We Work
We work with your vision and taste to design unique and customized desserts that are then baked and hand decorated according to your order. This may be an individually designed cake, highly decorated cookies, custom gift boxes, or a fully catered dessert or breakfast party.
To assist with your decision, we offer a variety of signature desserts and cakes. We also have specially designed favors and cookie boxes to send as gifts.
When creating desserts, we focus on flavor using cooking procedures that intensify natural flavors instead of overusing sugar. Customers often comment with pleasant surprise that our desserts are not too sweet yet still decadent, rich, and exceptional.
Our desserts are elegant yet fun, with a twist in style, presentation, and flavor. Typically, our products are European and American classics with a bit of whimsy and the unexpected in both flavor and presentation.
Who We Are
The founder and chef, Linda Fedele Brudz, has studied pastry arts at the Institute for Culinary Education in New York, then continued her education working at "L'Oasis" (2 Michelin stars) and "Patisserie Cottard", prestigious patisseries in southern France. She developed her style as the pastry chef for several award winning restaurants and chefs including "Esca", "Tuscan", and "Restaurant L".
Working in these and other prestigious pastry shops and caterers familiarized her with indigenous desserts to France, Italy, Belgium, and the United States. Through this experience, she adapts and applies various techniques and flavors to invent new classics from European and American recipes.
Where We Send Our Products
We primarily offer our products in Boston and the surrounding areas. We also send cookies, favors, and gift boxes via mail anywhere within the continental United States.
