Yvonne Hines will share
her melt-in-your-mouth cookie magic at Macy's Cellar on
Saturday Frebruary 23rd at 2pm.
Inspired by her late
grandmother Vermell Hines, Yvonne Hines is living out a family
legacy of serving mouth-watering homemade southern sweets since 2003.
A San Francisco native,
Yvonne began at home perfecting a recipe given to her by a close family friend,
and sharing her creations with family, friends and co-workers. Her special
recipe for pralines, a confection pecan candy originating from the Old South,
earned rave reviews for delicious authentic flavor. Everyone
encouraged Yvonne to share her tasty treats with others.
Always enterprising,
Yvonne got serious about making her pralines, and began expanding her offerings
to include other specialty desserts such as ol' school butter cookies, sweet
potato pies, peach cobblers, and cakes for small parties and social gatherings.
Small order requests quickly grew into orders for large local civic and social
events serving hundreds.
Yvonne opened her store,
Yvonne's
Southern Sweets, on 3rd Street in the Bayview Hunters Point
community in 2006. Yvonne's Southern Sweets is still a family affair. Shavonne,
Yvonne's 9-year-old daughter, is her mom's biggest fan and helps continue the
Hines' sweet tradition.
