As a self taught baker, Michael began making his signature scones to raise money for the kids at a local community school, where he worked as a caretaker for children. He began with a cafe for the parents at Beginnings school. Michaels goal was to raise money for the children, yet he was completely unaware of what would come next. The parents of Beginnings non-profit were so enthused by Michaels signature scones, they encouraged him to keep them coming. He started with a wonderful recipe from a cook book. Now, he celebrates over 14 years in the kitchen at Flavors in Garberville. Zara Messenger, the owner of Flavors, collaborates with Michael and together they have created a happy kitchen!
