Our Story & Legacy
Today, we continue to bridge the gap between delicious artistry and education, ensuring every bite tells a story and every lesson builds a legacy. In February 2016, Ashalah Michelle took her passion for Southern desserts and turned it into a vision. What started in a home kitchen with family recipes soon blossomed into Cook Me Up A Notch, a premier catering brand dedicated to high-end dessert experiences.
Starting at 12, Ashalah Michelle Wright began a magical journey fueled by her grandma's secrets. She didn't wait to grow up to share her joy, launching her brand to bring sweetness to everyone. As an accomplished chef and creator of The Kid Chef Dreams Academy, she shows other kids they have the power to do amazing things.
She teaches that being young is the best time to start aiming high. For many years, she has grown her heart, proving that all around the world, kids can believe their dreams come true when they lead with love and flour.
