Our executive pastry chef, Leressa Rucker, was featured on WBTV’s QC at 3 to craft a beautiful vanilla bean grilled pound cake with local peaches.

This cake uses:

  • Caramelized peaches
  • Bourbon caramel sauce
  • Rum Vanilla bean Chantilly cream
  • Pecan praline

She is implementing a new preservative-free pastry program using locally sourced ingredients in our new commercial kitchen at CFT Market, located at 511 S. Hoskins Rd. in Charlotte. This program partners with several local farmers to provide ingredients.
