Local Pastry Chef at Burlington and North Shore Malls December 7^th and 8th

Danvers, MA (December 4, 2006) - Kelly Delaney, owner of Cakes for Occasions, the Danvers-based bakery recently featured in Gourmet and Yankee magazines, will be sharing her expertise with holiday shoppers at the Williams-Sonoma stores in the Burlington and North Shore malls this week.

Delaney will be conducting a holiday decorating demonstration at the Williams-Sonoma store in the Burlington Mall on Thursday, December 7th from 2:00-3:00 p.m. and at the Williams-Sonoma store in the North Shore Mall on Friday, December 8th, also from 2:00-3:00 p.m. She will be decorating 3-D holiday cookies and will be available to answer customers' questions.

Cakes for Occasions has a celebrated reputation for creating the finest gourmet cakes and pastries and has garnered much attention recently including a segment on TV Diner with Billy Costa and a stint on the Today show when the bakery's "Pearls and Shells" cake was chosen as the winner for the 2004 Destination Wedding segment.

"I've been looking to do this type of thing for a while now," said Delaney. "I want to interact with people, share my knowledge and show people how fun baking can be. This is a great way to get started. I use Williams-Sonoma products and believe in them, so this is a great first step."

Delaney, who received her culinary education from the Ballymaloe Cookery School in Ireland and the Cordon Bleu in London, opened Cakes for Occasions nearly 10 years ago and is well-known for her intricately designed cakes and sinfully delicious desserts. She currently employs 15 pastry chefs who hand-craft nearly 700 wedding cakes per year.
