Bianca's story

My passion and love for culinary arts started when making family meals with my Great Grandmother and Father at a very young age. My Great Grandmother was a chef, and father was always in the kitchen creating new recipes. I attended The Art Institute California, where I earned a culinary arts and management degree. I am a classically trained chef that worked in prominent hotels in Los Angeles and Las Vegas.

I started Tailor Made Custom Catering in 2019 on the island of Oahu. Some of my most memorable past-times in the kitchen are when I catered for major sports teams and weddings/special events. I love catering weddings because each event is unique with complex menus and attention to detail. Also, you get to be a part of others’ most memorable moments. I am passionate about sourcing high quality food, scratch cooking, and supporting local.

As a child I relocated from Southern California to Hawaii to help look after family affairs and throughout the years she would travel back and forth from the mainland to Hawaii. I met my Hawaii born wife in Los Angeles and planned to move back to the islands to open my business and raise a family.
I have had different motivators and after having children I became even more motivated to become and remain an entrepreneur, I now have two beautiful children that look at me, I want them to know that they can achieve whatever it is that they want in this life and that they have me to come to for support through their own Entrepreneurial wishes

My entire background from my great grandma, dad & college, has led me to create a business from my craft and allows me to make a living and provide employment to people on our community.
