About Marshmallow Dessert Cafe and Catering

Hi! I’m Dr. Amethia Johnson, owner and executive chef of Marshmallow Dessert Café + Catering. By profession, I’m a pharmacist. By passion, I’m a chef, baker, and dessert artist.

Inspired by generations of Southern hospitality and Creole family recipes, we create handcrafted meals and desserts that bring people together. Every menu is thoughtfully designed, made with fresh, quality ingredients, and customized to fit your event — never pulled from a one-size-fits-all package.

I got Pina Colada cake made for my husband's 40th and it was super scrumptious and yummy. Looked stunning and so beautiful. My guests and birthday boy all loved the cake. Amethia is amazing, she understood exactly what I wanted, she was super responsive and very professional. Will 100% recommend.

Everything was beautiful and just what I asked for! Only thing I wished was that the cake was refrigerated beforehand because unfortunately my cake didn’t make it to my destination before it melted.

Amethia and the team were excellent to work with, and brought some incredible food and creativity to the table. Always responsive and flexible to any challenges, a very respectful and pleasant team to work with. The food was made with care and a level of personalization that is rare in the catering world. Amethia made sure to go above and beyond for us!

Amazing food, highly recommend the Gumbo, red beans and rice, chicken, whipped potatoes, green beans and awesome deserts! Delivered and setup cleanly and gracious owner and staff.

They made a custom vegan birthday cake for my daughter with egg and nut allergies. I just told them our ballerina theme and they created a beautiful image and the cake looked exactly like it! It tasted delicious and everyone was very impressed. Thank you!
