Teasecakes by Francesca! Specializing in miniature, artisan-style cheesecakes, culinary artist Francesca will use fresh Market ingredients to spruce up her delectable desserts with a variety of flavors and decoration; inspire your at-home creations!

About Francesca: Francesca began baking cheesecake because it was a personal favorite – the first flavor she ever made (Cookies & Cream) was such a hit at family get-togethers that it became a consistently requested dessert by her entire community. With the encouragement of friends in the culinary business, she decided it was time to share this love. Francesca recognized that wrestling with a large piece of one-flavor cake wasn’t as exciting as what she could bring to the table; thus, the miniature cheesecake - “teasecake”- was born and with it an endless variety of seasonal flavors. These small indulgences topped with fresh fruits, jams, honeys, syrups, and more, are just as beautiful as they are delicious, providing all the delight of a full cake in a much easier to swallow package! Stop by and see for yourself the big impact a little treat can have.
