Our Story
If you’re a long time follower of ours, you know by now, at Scrumptious, we always have a story to tell. Back in January of 2014 when we were still fairly new, we were gearing up to put together our first ever dessert table. At this time, we didn’t have very many options to choose from on our menu, BUT, as always, we were more than eager to take special requests and try something new, and if it went over well, it was thereafter added to our menu. Little did we know, that the request for Tiramisu at that time would soon become our best selling product and Scrumptious wouldn’t be able to live without it!
I still remember the day that I first made it. I had no idea what I was doing, I had pulled up probably a dozen recipes off of Google and had only a couple hours before my clients showed up to experiment and have something to put in front of them. If you know me at all, you know I work well under pressure. After a couple hours of experimenting, I had a final product. I had no idea how it was supposed to taste or if it even tasted good, but it looked pretty alright, so I popped it in the refrigerator and was now waiting for the arrival of my clients.
The first time I made Tiramisu.
This is back when I held consultation appointments out of my parents’ home. The family showed up -- there were about 5-6 people that came to this appointment. We all sat around the 6 seater dining table that we had at the time. I presented them with their tasting options, we went over the presentation, and had a pretty nice discussion about their order. Turns out, the Tiramisu went over really well — they were REALLY impressed! After it was all over and the tiramisu was finished, I told them that this was the first time that I had ever made it. They couldn’t believe it! Ever since then, Tiramisu has been a part of our Scrumptious menu.
