Indulge in Carole Bennett’s Divine Desserts

From Hollywood literary agent to substance abuse counselor, Carole Bennett relishes being called a serial entrepreneur. I’ve written about her bridge school and matzoh ball soup businesses in recent years, and now she’s a baker, selling three-berry crumble, “blissful” brownies, “wafer thin” sugar cookies, and chocolate chip “flatties” under the name Divine Desserts.

“Indulging in so many different businesses, being CEO and janitor, has made my life creative and interesting,” she explained. “I chose baking because the confections that I had been making for so many years were consistently yummy. It’s not a huge investment to try out something like this, and in the worst case, I’ll be very popular in the neighborhood, giving out baked goods that didn’t sell.”
