     As well as running her special order bakery and catering company, Chef Diana has been creating incredible gourmet wedding cakes for many of the valley’s brides.  Her cakes have been recognized by the many of the best hotels and resorts, such as the Troon North Club in Scottsdale, AZ and the Hilton in Chandler AZ, as being the best tasting and having amazing detail.

She has presently been in charge of running  the kitchen at the Andre House every other Saturday morning for the Street Ministry from Calvary Community Church (I-17 and Sweetwater).
