Baking advice, columns on baking, a Kids’ Menu Hall of Fame, recipes, and a bit of baking to buy: that’s Dessert First. Sharon Kebschull Barrett started Dessert First, a baking catering company, in the mid-1990s in Chapel Hill, N.C., closing it in 2001 to raise her children. Along with re-opening Dessert First as a custom bakehouse, Barrett also works as a cookbook author (check out her books, Desserts From an Herb Garden and Morning Glories, both published by St. Martin’s Press), food writer and baking teacher.
