It all started when i fell on that hidden gem while looking for a talented person with unique and creative ideas for my first son’s baptism cake. Three years later and again for my second child’s baptism cake, here i am, back to her, but this time in front of her new shop/atelier in jounieh.

Mummies yummies, tout court. ”
