Our story
From family kitchen to Anchorage's favorite dessert
Born from love, built on smiles.
The story
It started with a smile
C&D Perfect Pudding Parfaits began in the most genuine way possible: with family, friends, and the pure joy that comes from sharing something delicious.
Our founder, Crystal, had been making pudding parfaits for her loved ones for years. Every time she served them, she noticed something special: the reactions. The closed eyes, the satisfied sighs, the way people lit up after the first spoonful. It wasn't just about the taste. It was about the feeling. The nostalgia. The moment of pure indulgence that transported people back to grandma's kitchen, to simpler times, to memories of home-cooked love.
Her friends and family kept telling her the same thing: “You need to share this with the world.”
The leap
A dessert experience unlike any other
Even though Crystal was already running a successful hair salon and spa, she couldn't ignore the calling. She saw how something as simple as a handcrafted dessert could brighten someone's day, bring people together, and create moments of pure happiness. So she took the leap.
C&D Perfect Pudding Parfaits was born: not from a business plan, but from a desire to spread joy, one cup at a time.
No yogurt here
What makes our parfaits special
Let's be clear about something: our pudding parfaits are not traditional parfaits. There's no yogurt here. No granola unless you want it — and we DO make our own! This isn't a health food. This is indulgent, rich, decadent dessert that reminds you of the best things about childhood.
Dairy-Free (D), Gluten-Free (GF), and Vegan (V) options for all dietary needs (add $2 per cup).
The result? A dessert so smooth, so creamy, so perfectly layered that customers describe the experience as “heavenly,” “the best thing I've ever eaten,” and “absolutely delicious.”
- Real pudding made the old-fashioned way
- Homemade cookies baked daily and folded into select flavors
- Carefully cooked fruits with warm spices and textures that elevate every layer
- Premium ingredients, because we don't believe in cutting corners
- Perfectly balanced flavors that are rich without being overwhelming
From Anchorage to Fairbanks and beyond
