Karen Dills Pastry Chef Harts Cafe and More

Karen Dills

Pastry Chef

Hi my name Karen Dills I've had a love for baking since being taught by my mother as a child. As my daughters planned weddings, I put that interest into baking and construction of wedding cakes with a focus on taste as well as presentation. I began catering weddings and special events, and through our church, prepared meals for the homeless in Memphis, TN.
