When two culinary worlds collide... welcome to The Kitchen Takeover!

When you want to master the art of the Macaron, you bring in the absolute best. We teamed up for an epic collaboration to merge our passions for unforgettable food experiences. Usually, Mercedes runs the show in her kitchen, but this time, she proudly stepped in as James’ baking apprentice!

Let’s be real—macarons are delicious in their own right (a sentiment a lot of you share!). But James’s creations? Life-changing. He is breaking barriers, dropping serious culinary knowledge, and showing us exactly why these delicate pastries are far from a “cheap cookie.” Between the masterclass and the patio taste-testing, the verdict was unanimous: unmatched! 🤌🏾

Ready to take a baking class with James? Hit up @doux_rendezvous!

Are YOU up for the next Kitchen Takeover with @mercjd? Let’s work!

✨ The Team:

👨🏾‍🍳 James Sutton - Head Baker & Co-Owner of Doux Rendezvous Bakery

👩🏾‍🍳 Mercedes Hobson - Host, Baker’s Apprentice & Owner of Mercedes Experience Catering

👧🏽 Brooklyne Sutton - Lead Taste Tester & Co-Owner of Doux Rendezvous

Spent the afternoon at @mercjd’s home for a cozy baking class, and honestly… couldn’t have picked a better setting.

Even with a bit of rain, everything just flowed. With Outer Spaces®, all it took was a quick adjustment of the louvered roof and everyone stayed dry without missing a beat.

Covered when you need it, open when you don’t, and always ready to host.

Carrying it forward ✨

With Outer Spaces®, Mercedes’ backyard has become the kind of space people notice the moment they step in.

Friends often say it feels like a retreat, with an atmosphere that feels calm, intentional, and thoughtfully designed.

With OS2 Haven, Mercedes found the space her backyard gatherings needed. The larger layout comfortably accommodates dinners, games, and groups of guests, turning the backyard into a setting designed for bringing people together.
