OUR STORY
It all started with a cupcake... and a big dream!
While working on Wall Street, Jessi Brelsford was looking for a way to combine her passions for food, family and fun. She hosted her first cupcake-making birthday party at a friend’s loft in SoHo. The party was a hit, a dream took hold, and Taste Buds Kitchen was born.

Our Founder, Jessi Walter Brelsford, shares how she took her passion and made it a business. At Taste Buds Kitchen, we make the kitchen exciting for our guests and we create it all from scratch – from pasta to sushi and everyone’s favorite cupcakes!
LEARN. LAUGH. COOK.
Our Mission
Taste Buds Kitchen’s mission is to delight guests through delicious culinary entertainment experiences. We believe time spent in the kitchen is about more than just cooking and baking– the kitchen brings people together, sparks creativity, and creates lasting memories with family and friends. #LearnLaughCook
