The reason behind St. Catherine's Frozen Dessertz
There is a challenge finding local desserts and treats that are uniquely inspired by Trinidad and Tobago's diverse culture at an affordable price. It is the only business of its kind in Trinidad and Tobago that offers a combination of products for all tastebuds and backgrounds.
Market
I market to anyone who has a sweet tooth craving. Children, adults, healthy lifestyles, guilty pleasures, while remaining cost-conscious.
Recent Wins:

Stop procrastinating, start now, and trust the process.
