Michelle's journey to the food industry is quite an unusual one. After taking some time off from corporate America, she finished her MBA and thought about her next step. She stumbled on it literally by accident. This experience has allowed her now to share her white sweet potato pies with the world. In 2020, Michelle was selected as one of Legacy Magazine's top 40 under 40 in South Florida for her innovative pie creation. Additionally, in 2020, Chelle's Cutie Pies was nominated by O Magazine for Oprah's Favorite Things Holiday edition. In 2022, Target Corporation selected Chelle's Cutie Pies as the vendor for their International Women's Day event. Time Out Magazine named Chelle's Cutie Pies one of the best pie companies in Miami.

The Japanese white sweet potato specifically the Muraski variety, has a deep magenta skin and white flesh that turns Champagne gold as it cooks. They're simultaneously drier and creamier than orange-fleshed sweet potatoes, and cooked at high heat their edges get unbelievably crispy and burnished, belying the pudding-like centers. They're also naturally sweet—more of a robust nutty sweetness rather than a sugary one— Japanese sweet potatoes are dense, luscious, and spoonable—the texture of a really cold cheesecake.

On Christmas Day, our owner offered to make a sweet potato casserole for dinner As she started to peel the sweet potato, she realized that it was white instead of orange. Undeterred , she recalled a white sweet potato casserole from her Caribbean roots and it was a huge hit. Curious, she decided to make a pie and the rest was history.
