Biography
Fadi Adnan Adeeb Jaber, son of Palestinian refugees, grew up eating homemade knafah, gatayef, and baklawah. But it was western desserts, particularly cupcakes, which won his heart. At age 28, he decided to leave his marketing job to learn how to bake cupcakes in a combined pastry and culinary management program at ICE. He went on to create Sugar Daddy's, a celebrated chain of bubblegum-pink shops in Amman, Jordan; Beirut, Lebanon; and Dubai, United Arab Emirates. His specialty is old-fashioned iced cakes for urbane Arabs who share Jaber’s craving for classic American baked goods.
