About Jennifer Dastouri

Despite the rain, Jennifer is a hardcore Seattleite and loves (nearly) everything Seattle. She graduated from University of Washington with a BA in Psychology and was in the midst of a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology program when she discovered her love of baking. She opened her dessert catering business in early 2012 (Jenni's Sugar Shop) where food, photography, baking, and making a positive impact became Jennifer's life passions. In her free time, she cooks with her husband, plays tennis, and does volunteer work.
