Emma M. Cromedy and Sameka M. Jenkins are the dynamic sister duo behind the infamous Carolima’s Lowcountry Cuisine and Carolima’s Dessert Boutique. Sameka’s love for cooking began as a way to feed friends while in college. Being a native of the Lowcountry everyone expected her to know how to prepare dishes like red rice and shrimp and grits- and she did! As one of Charleston’s most sought after Gullah Chefs she loves catering events throughout the Charleston area. ‘Emma’s been pouring her love of baking into southern desserts since she was tall enough to reach the mixing bowl. The founder of Charlotte’s 1st Mobile Dessert Truck has brought her talents to Charleston and established Carolima’s Dessert Boutique- the sweet side of Carolima's. She’s always baking a delicious dessert that has guests wanting more! Whether they are whipping up something savory or something sweet, it’s sure to be a crowd pleaser.
