The Story of Palma's Sweet Treats
Palma was raised in a Italian family that loved to bake from scratch. As Palma was growing up, she learned as much as she could about cooking and baking from her family. On May 22, 1982 Palma married Bill Leone and four years later they decided to start a family. Palma wanted to be able to bake and decorate birthday cakes for her own children, so she started teaching herself how to cake decorate. After her children went to bed and the house was finally at peace. Palma found relaxation in baking for her family and friends. Before Palma knew it she was being asked by friends and friends of friends to bake sweet treats for their special occasions. After 32 years of baking and cake decorating, Palma's oldest daughter Alyssa Palma Leone Flood thought it was finally time to help her mom open up her very own sweet treat shop!
Essential to the appeal of our products will be the application of "The Touch" technique in the baking process, a tradition handed down through four generations. "The Touch" technique provides an intuitive stop in the mixing process to assure the dough's consistency is just right for the oven. The sweet treat menu will be constructed around Palma's secret recipes!
