Found our cake baker, Etiquette of Chocolate!
Posted by admin on April 5th, 2008
And now for the most difficult decision of all for us and more specifically, Marisa. Who to pick to make our cakes? Not long after we got engaged, we were at a birthday dinner for a couple of friends, when we had one of the best carrot cakes we ever put our lips on compliments of Judy Tan. A couple of months later we made a visit over to Etiquette of Chocolate and sampled the all they had to offer and got to meet Jaycel Adkins, the other half of EOC and the rest is history.
Judy Tan, a native of New York City, is a career changer who left a life of chemical formulas for the land of chocolate and cake recipes to satisfy a need to make people happy and express her own creativity. She has worked for numerous acclaimed chefs and establishments, including Fauchon and Le Cirque in NYC.
Jaycel Adkins, a native of Jacksonville, grew up working in the family restaurant since he was little. After saving money and traveling throughout Europe, he decided to enter the Pastry Program at the French Culinary Institute. He has studied under many acclaimed chefs, including Ron Ben Israel, Andrew Shotts, and Stephane Glacier.
It was while attending the French Culinary Institute in NYC that he met Judy and struck up a life long friendship based on their desire to make people happy through the amazing confections their vision and talents lead them to create.
