Desserts are something that brings people together, a celebration in a sense, and Karen loves to mirror her appreciation for being a part of such a special event through her work. Born in India, Karens passion and love for baking have grown with her since she was a child. Peering into the confectioners window in Kolkata, Karen was always drawn to the colorful desserts before her; when she came to America, she refused to leave that passion for desserts behind. She always looked forward to creating the dessert spread for her childrens birthday parties, and as the years progressed the creations became more and more impressive.
