"Combining my love for baking with my need to be creative. Sharing my passion for beautiful and delicious treats. Life is Sweet." Shani Christenson - Pastry Artist
Sweet Art
I love to create truly unique and delicious desserts for my clients. I try to push my creativity each and every time. I find myself constantly thinking how I can recreate something beautiful or interesting into a unique dessert. I find inspiration in many places, from the beauty in nature, a piece of vintage jewelry, a beautifully textured fabric, an elegant wedding invitation and of course the clients personal style. I believe that a special dessert should be custom tailored to fit the person it is for. I will work with you to combine your favorite flavors with beautiful decorations to create your perfect dessert. The quality of the ingredients I use is just as important to me as the quality of my work. From organic flour and gourmet flavorings to the finest imported French chocolate. It is extremely important to me that your special dessert tastes as good as it looks.
I also offer sweets made with gluten free ingredients and all organic options upon request. I want to help bring a touch of beautiful deliciousness to your celebration.
