This celeb-loved sweets brand from Yasmeen Tadia is popping up at Galleria Dallas starting on November 6 to offer a one-hour dessert omakase experience. After her event business was disrupted by Covid-19 (where she catered private parties for the likes of Justin Timberlake and Stevie Wonder), Tadia had to pivot in a new direction. The boutique store incorporates several of her most popular offerings, including gourmet cotton candy, flavored popcorn, gummies, truffles, and more. The Dessert Omakase is reservation only and includes 21 dessert tastings for $115 per person. Or you can book the mini version with 10 desserts for $65 per person.
