Meet April Berry, a 38-year-old entrepreneur, proud wife, and devoted mother, whose journey to success is as sweet as the Red Velvet desserts she creates. Raised in the vibrant city of Orlando, Florida, April credits her strong values to her mother, Marlene Allen. It's from her upbringing that April draws the strength to pursue her dreams relentlessly.
With over 16 years of experience as a formal hairstylist, April decided to embark on a new adventure driven by her passion for baking. In the midst of a global pandemic, she fearlessly launched The Velvet Bar, a haven for dessert lovers craving the perfect Red Velvet experience. Despite the challenging times, April's determination and culinary prowess propelled her venture to unprecedented success.
At The Velvet Bar, every dessert tells a story of love and meticulous craftsmanship. April pours her heart into each recipe, ensuring that every bite is an unforgettable experience. What sets The Velvet Bar apart is not just the decadent flavors but also the use of locally sourced ingredients, including pecans from April's own family in Glennville, GA. It's a testament to her commitment to quality and her deep-rooted connection to her roots.
