Event Details


LET’S START WITH DESSERT.

On Monday, February 13th, we will host our very first dessert pop-up, “Sucré: A Sticky Sweet Tasting Soiree.” Four talented chefs will present four decadent dessert courses themed around honey, with each course highlighting the gooey goodness in some way, shape, or form!

The night will begin with a cocktail hour and snacks followed by dessert courses and cocktail pairings from the following chefs:

Lori Kettelle of PVDonuts

I am the Owner and Head Baker here at PVDonuts! I started on this journey a couple of years back – I did a ton of R&D to find the right recipes, which I can’t wait for you to try!
When I’m not making donuts, I can most likely be found taking a nap (bakers hours, c’mon), at a nursery looking for new plants (more often than not, Brigg’s in N. Attleboro), or reading crazy Game of Thrones fan theories (thoughts on Jon Snow? I’d be happy to debate). If I were a donut, I’d be a brown butter pecan PVDonut.
I’m so thankful for everyone’s support so far and I’m beyond excited for PVDonuts to open so I can finally meet everyone and be the first to start feeding the city of Providence some darn specialty donuts!  PVDonuts

Adam Young of SIFT Bake Shop Mystic

Prior to opening SIFT Bake Shop, Young was named Executive Pastry Chef of the highly acclaimed Ocean House in Watch Hill, Rhode Island in 2010. As head of the pastry department, Young spearheaded a 24-hour operation, producing luxury level pastries, and amenities for nearly six years. Prior to the Ocean House, he also worked as the head Pastry Chef at Quail Valley Golf and River Club in Vero Beach, Florida under the direction of Chef Jose Faria.

“I fought it at first,” he said. “My ignorance led me to believe that desserts were just an afterthought. But I learned that the success of a pastry is determined by a strict set of variables. Controlling those variables and working as precisely and consistently as possible is paramount.”

It is this approach Young encourages at SIFT, where he continues to oversee a 24-hour pastry operation, which has attracted aspiring new talent to create the recognized products that have become his signatures, a collective of Young’s “greatest hits” so to speak. SIFT Bake Shop Mystic

Melissa Denmark of Gracie’s and Ellie’s Bakery

Chef Denmark grew up in Columbia, Maryland, with a cookbook in one hand, and a whisk in the other. Her love of baking led her to Johnson & Wales University, where she graduated summa cum laude in 2010 with a bachelor’s degree in baking and pastry arts. That same year, Denmark assumed the role of Executive Pastry Chef at Gracie’s, and in 2012, developed the bread and pastry program at Ellie’s Bakery.

Chef Denmark draws her inspiration from travel, childhood memories, and unusual ingredients to create savory-sweet, unique desserts. She was named as one of the 50 best new pastry chefs in the country by Food & Wine magazine in 2012, and in 2014 was named a Rising Star in Coastal New England by the culinary magazine, Starchefs.  GraciesProv & Ellie’s Bakery
