HOUSTON – Earlier this month, I had the pleasure of visiting Asma Gowher, a self-taught baker known for her beautifully designed gourmet desserts.
You might recognize Asma from her appearances on “Houston Life,” where she’s shared her recipes for trendy, modern French pastries. But this time, photojournalist Lenny Juarez and I met her right in her kitchen to get a closer look at the sweet story behind TRIFLES Gourmet Desserts.
Many know Asma as a dedicated mom and talented home baker with a mission to support her son with spina bifida and others with disabilities. In the video above, you’ll learn more about her inspiring journey and how TRIFLES came to life.
It hasn’t always been easy. As a full-time mom to three sons and a former accountant, balancing personal and professional life meant putting TRIFLES on pause early on. But during the pandemic, Asma reignited her passion and brought TRIFLES back, continuing her mission with renewed focus.
Watch the video above to hear Asma’s story and see how TRIFLES is making a difference.
Asma also stopped by the studio to share her recipe for the fruit pastry that’s been taking social media by storm.
This viral dessert is loved for its sweet filling, crisp bite, and picture-perfect shape — plus that satisfying ASMR crunch.
