"My baking philosophy has always been to keep things simple and let the ingredients speak for themselves. And that's what we did with these new desserts," said Chef Josiah. "I'm excited that our customers can now enjoy these naturally flavorful, high-quality and affordable treats. We worked hard to create delicious and innovative products that our customers will love."
