#Baonanas innovative take on banana pudding with over 20 different mousse flavors
Jersey City takes banana pudding to a whole new level
A Jersey City company has cooked up an innovative take on banana pudding, with over 20 different mousse flavors.
The venture, which began as a fundraiser between family and friends, to raise money after their car fell victim to a fender bender back in 2014, has turned into a flavorful go-to experience for dessert lovers in the tri-state area.
Using Leche flan, the Filipino version of creme caramel, instead of regular boxed jello, Lloyd and his girlfriend Trisha Villanueva have been able to develop innovative flavors and a fluffy mousse texture.
Baonanas infuses its fluffy banana mousse with homemade purple yam or Ube, lychees, strawberries, and peach-mango chutney, all made from scratch.
Their mission to spread love through their innovative flavors, using quality ingredients, has allowed #Baonanas to expand and offer their dessert at food festivals and catering experiences.
Delicious cheesecakes with a powerful message
Cheesecake with a side of song and powerful messages
Brandon Alwan is a school teacher, singer, actor, chef, and entrepreneur. But it's easier to simply call him a leader.
When he's not crafting minds in the classroom or crooning on stage, he's cooking in the kitchen.
The 30-year-old embarked on his latest journey earlier this year when he founded his own baking business, appropriately named, "Pinch His Cheesecakes."
He's sweetening up his kitchen with cheesecake flavors like strawberry, Reese's Peanut Butter Cup, and Fruity Pebbles.
"You can be all of it," he said. "The sky's the limit. And I try to push that on my students as well as the community."
"I've always been a strong advocate with the kids, especially being a black man. And we don't see enough of that," he said. "You can do anything you want in life. Nothing is going to stop you but yourself."

Now you can print your own chocolate, and eat it too
If you've ever wanted chocolate on demand, Cocoa Press is here to make your dream comes true.
A Philadelphia business built a 3-D printer that prints chocolate. Pick what type of chocolate you want to use, pick a design, throw your SD card in the printer, stand back and watch your edible creation come to life.
The idea for Cocoa Press was born when Evan Weinstein was in high school when he built his first prototype in a robotics class.
After four years of tinkering with the idea at the University of Pennsylvania, it has grown into a start-up business run out of the University's Pennovation Center.
