FRENCH SABLÉ What is a sablé? A sablé is a French-style shortbread cookie. The word “sabler” means “to sand.” We sand together pure butter, sugar, vanilla bean, flour, and sea salt to create the perfect shortbread-full of flavor with a delicate crumb. Our sablé has quickly become Culinary Occasions signature cookie! Be sure to order some on your next pastry tray or in individually wrapped gift cartons. Merci beaucoup!

ABOUT US My affection for food and cooking began when I was born into a big Italian family, where cooking symbolized everything that I love. A family meal may last hours, but it is the love and commitment to the right ingredients and nuances of flavor that matter most. At Bob Sferra Culinary Occasions we use all natural, local and seasonal ingredients to prepare the finest quality cuisine in the market. The Culinary Occasions Shop is located in South Euclid, OH. The shop offers all-natural, gourmet retail desserts, special occasion and wedding cakes, and is the host location for interactive cooking classes and our catering division. Bob Sferra Culinary Occasions brings a client vision for good food and a great time to life! Our culinary team works very hard to make every morsel a singular and memorable taste! A spectacular dinner party, cooking class, fantasy wedding cake, cocktail reception, fund-raiser or culinary trip is created with a sense of pride in the details and passion for the finished product. At Bob Sferra Culinary Occasions we cook with the season in mind; if it is growing in the garden or available at market it should be on the table.
