The Dubai Chocolate Crepe. If you've been in, you already know. It's popular for a reason. Pistachio kanafa filling, layered with white, dark, and milk chocolate, pistachio cream, and finished with toasted kanafa and chopped pistachios. Crispy, creamy, and crunchy 🍫✨ #DubaiChocolate #PistachioDessert #ViralDessert

Finally able to share this moment. Standing on the set of Beat Bobby Flay was more than television — it was a reminder of how far this journey has taken me. From kitchens, community work, teaching, late nights, and building my craft… to national TV. Grateful for every chapter that led here. Did you catch the episode? 👀 #ChefBlaque #BeatBobbyFlay #FoodNetwork #ChefLife #WhereTheresAWhiskTheresAWay

When I’m not in the kitchen… I’m still creating. People know me for cakes, sugar art, television, and community work — but creativity doesn’t stop at food. Sometimes it walks the runway too. This look was giving art, drama, texture, and a little main-character energy. ✨ Would you wear this look?
