Aloha!
I’m so glad you’re here and want to join me on this journey.
Why the Hawaiian terms? I was blessed to spend 15 unforgettable years living on the Big Island of Hawaii, a place that holds a special place in my heart. The greatest lesson I learned during that time?
Aloha = Love. It’s more than just a word, a way of life.

About The Author

Sheri Smith considers herself fortunate to have discovered two lifelong passions: catering and creative writing. Her work journey began at age seven, starring on Broadway and appearing in the longest-running M&M commercial. In the 70s, Sheri enlisted in the Navy, aspiring to become an EMT, but societal limitations shifted her back to the entertainment industry. In the 1990s, she bought her own catering company (GourmetCatering.com), serving prestigious clients across Southern California. After 9/11, she moved to the Big Island of Hawaii, where she built a castle-themed vacation rental that gained media attention. She traveled back and forth to the mainland for her events.

Today, Sheri focuses on ChocolateFountainSoCal.com because it never gets old, and (food and beverage) catering ranging from intimate weddings to large corporate events GourmetCatering.com while continuing to explore new creative endeavors. She stays active with daily swimming, gym workouts, and pupsitting. When not catering, Sheri continues to write and explore new creative endeavors.
