About the Guest:
Cheryl Kibry is a mother of three beautiful children. She is also the head Pastry Chef at SHMILY Tree bakery, Cheryl grew up in the kitchen, getting most of her inspiration from her grandparents who did amazing work in the kitchen as well as made beautiful cakes together. Her grandfather left the word S.H.M.I.L.Y. around the house on different things for her grandmother to find. It stood for See How Much I Love You. After they passed away, at her grandfather’s funeral, the pastor talked about the “SHMILY Tree” and how the loved they showed for others in their hospitality (taking people bread when sick, meals, etc) were like branches from that tree and the lives they touched. She had always wanted to name her bakery SHMILY Tree after that, and now she lives her dream.
