Mattie's puts the delectable back into desserts
20.05.12
How can anyone resist the temptation of large, beautifully frosted cupcakes with names like Luscious Lemon, Love Cup and Marvelous Mango?
Justin Bernard, one of the owners of newly opened Mattie's Delectable Desserts in Winter Springs, said most customers can't select just one cupcake when they come into the store.
Between the Love Cups filled with chocolate chip morsels and topped with frosting, chocolate drizzle and a chocolate kiss and the Butter Cup covered with pecans, Justin said the store already has regular customers stopping by nearly every day to savor some sweetness.
"We make everything from scratch - we take pride in that," said Justin's mother and co-owner Brenda Bernard. "And people say the frosting is to die for."
Brenda, who also works as a full-time teacher in Orange County, said the family founded the dessert business sort of by chance. While shopping at Miller's School Supply on SR 434, she noticed the building next door, which once was a chocolate shop, was vacant. One phone call to the owner, and the space was suddenly hers to build a new business with her husband, Peter Bernard, and other son, Brandon Bernard.
