Three talented and creative women with a dream of owning
their own business were brought together when they attended a
Sugar Arts Guild meeting in Jacksonville Florida. Each of
them shared the same passion for sugar art, so they decided to
combine their talents and their dream became a reality.
Serenatea's staff has studied under professional Chefs and
talented sugar artists which include Norm Davis, Rebecca
Sutterby, Steven Stellingwerf, Geraldine Randlesome, Kathy
Scott, Nicholas Lodge, Ewald Notter, Susan Carberry, and Joe
Bushnell. We have completed Wilton Courses in cake
decorating and are proud members of ICES. We are
knowledgeable on the latest techniques and pride ourselves on
our special attention to detail. From concept to creation, you
will receive personalized service to ensure that your menu is
uniquely special for your occasion.
Please take a moment to meet Serenatea's professionals.
Patrice Drinkard discovered cake decorating at an early
age and it quickly became her passion. She has been perfecting
her art for thirty two years and is now making her passion her
career. She is mostly self taught with the exception of a Wilton
Course that she took in 1988. After the class she was asked to
teach the course, which she did for a year. Her first competition
was at a Fair in Fairbanks Alaska, where she was awarded
Best in Show and Peoples Choice. It was after this competition
that she became interested in fondant and gumpaste. This
added a whole new dimension to her passion and she began
challenging herself by creating beautiful gumpaste flowers and
detailed decorations for desserts. Patrice enjoys learning new
techniques and making special creations that make your event
unique.
Gabby Colindres has a background in arts and a BS in
Interior Design. She has always looked for ways to express her
creativity but nothing has inspired her more than cake
decorating. A search for the perfect birthday cake for her son
would lead her to discover her talent and passion for designing
cakes. Having no luck finding a cake she liked for her son, she
decided to decorate it herself. Excited by her success, she began
perfecting her talent by taking several courses. Her style is
modern and whimsical and extraordinary. Her knowledge and
skills have expanded to sugar cookies, cupcakes, mini cakes and
extensive string work. Gaby strives for perfection and finds
that nothing is more rewarding than a happy customer.
Jane Koon is a founding member and president of the
Sugar Arts Guild of North Florida (SAGNFL). Starting at her
great-grandmother's knee she developed a great love of pure, real
ingredients - sugar, eggs, flour and butter and making
melt-in-your-mouth buttermilk biscuits, breads cakes and
candy. As an adult, Jane loves being creative and uses food as
the medium. Food and Sugar Arts became her passion and she
began taking classes in everything from hors'de oeuvres,
garnishing, and cake decorating to Chocolate Truffles, candy
and lollipop bouquets and ultimately considers herself a
professional student. All her skills and talents as well as her
experience and classes make her a wonderful addition to
Serenatea.
