Nana Dot's Southern Sweets

Dorothy Louise, also known as Nana Dot, was born in Toxey Alabama where she began cooking at the age of fourteen. She was originally taught by her Aunt Mary Catherine and over the years mastered both the art of cooking and baking. Friends and family alike would rave about the goodness of her sweets and especially “that sweet potato pie.” As a recent widow and mother of three girls Nana Dot seldom had the time and resources to take her skills in the kitchen outside of her community. However, in 2007 Nana Dot began sharing her Southern recipes with her granddaughter Audris Jimea who over the last decade has been building a platform for the world to experience the goodness of those Southern Sweets. Today, the legacy continues with Audris leading as CEO, her brother, Akin, as Chief Operating Officer, and her mother Audrey, as a Senior Baker. Together with Nana Dot’s inspiration and the support of a talented team, they carry forward a legacy of love, family, and unforgettable desserts.
