As a child, chef Debbie dreamed of attending culinary school, and after a 25 year detour in the corporate world she fulfilled that dream. Once she saw her child through college Debbie enrolled and became a pastry chef, and for five years after graduation she honed her skills until she decided she was ready to open Doux Irvine: a gourmet bakery dedicated to forging all manner of sweet treats using high quality, fresh ingredients. Although she prepares everything from sugar cookies to tiramisu, Debbie puts her cupcakes front and center. The cupcake selection can include more than 30 custom cake flavors, which can be accessorized with various icings and toppings.
