CATERING

Peace Tree Desserts is now making it possible for caterers of any type (private chefs, stand alone caterers, in-store catering services) to provide their customers with the option of choosing eco-luxe, imaginative, local, and sustainable desserts and savory baked goods as part of their catering menu. The caterers value this service for two reasons: they can offer their clients the highest quality fresh-baked pastries, cakes, and desserts without the expense of a dedicated in-house pastry chef (or retraining their current chef) and avoid the time, energy, and expense involved in sourcing and segregating the specialty local and sustainable ingredients. It’s a complete win-win-win for Peace Tree, the caterer, and the consumer.

The Sustainable Pastry Chef

Robyn Eads is the Sustainable Pastry Chef and Founder of Peace Tree Desserts. Her uncompromising commitment to sourcing exclusively local, sustainable, and organic ingredients paired with her immense amount of talent and creativity, are the heart of Robyn’s highly imaginative and exquisite desserts. After graduating from the Culinary Institute of America in 2002, Robyn went on to perfect her craft with over a decade of experience in celebrated culinary establishments such as the Relais Gourmand restaurant at Blackberry Farm in Tennessee, Gotham Bar and Grill in New York City, and The Schoolhouse at Cannondale in Connecticut. Robyn’s inspired creations have garnered recognition on “The Martha Stewart Show” and were awarded “Best of Connecticut” in 2009 by Connecticut Magazine. Her dedication to sustainability extends to her relationships with local farmers and involvement in community organizations such as the Connecticut Specialty Food Association, the Connecticut Department of Agriculture’s Farm to Chef Program, and the Connecticut chapter of NOFA, the Northeast Organic Farming Association.
