In 1984, Sherry Caldwell-Hawkins was inspired to create edible fruit arrangements from a display of honeydew, watermelon and cantaloupe sticks being sold at a carnival in Ramstein, Germany.
Upon moving back to the states, she started an errand service, where as a ‘thank you’ she would leave a mini version of her incredible edible fruit arrangements. Unintentionally creating a buzz, she found she was making more edible creations than she was running errands.
Through various inspirations, her bouquets evolved into the healthy edible fruit and vegetable arrangements you see today. Her one-of-a-kind incredible edible fruit arrangements appeal to your 3 senses:
- They look breathtakingly beautiful
- Smell tantalizingly sweet
- And taste absolutely delicious

Dr. Gloria Campbell D’Hue, affectionately known as Atlanta’s Dermatologist to the Stars, was nurtured in a warm, loving and spiritual environment where education and entrepreneurship were constantly encouraged. From the time she was three years old, she wanted to become a doctor.
After graduating from Morris Brown College in Atlanta, she began medical school in San Francisco. Unfortunately, her education was cut short because her mother became ill with breast cancer. After one year of medical school, she went back home, making her mother her primary concern.
After her mom passed away, she was left in charge of raising her sisters. Taking odd jobs, and at one time making only .75 cents an hour, she managed the best way she could to make ends meet.
Though it was difficult, Dr. D’Hue persevered, never giving up on her goal of becoming a physician. After being out of school for two years, she pressed on, eventually becoming the second African American woman to be accepted into Emory University School of Medicine. In addition, she was the first female African American dermatologist in the state of Georgia.
Dr. D'Hue has been 'taking care of the skin you're in' for 25 years.
Listen and be inspired by her commitment to excellence and perseverance, not to mention her warm personality, which have all earned Dr. Gloria Campbell D’Hue a place in our hearts and a place in Atlanta’s History Center!

WHAT I LOVE THE MOST ABOUT MY JOB - What I love most about my job is helping people. I find out where my clients are financially, where they need to go, and show them how to accomplish that through tax planning, whether it be real estate, retirement planning, or starting a business.
HOMETOWN - My hometown is not a town; I am from the country. When people ask me where I’m from, I tell them, well…we get our mail in Quitman, Louisiana. I went to school in Jonesboro, Louisiana, but I’m really from St. Rest and very proud of my community. Education is stressed, as it never crossed my mind that I would NOT go to college. We raised and grew our food. You had peas and bread one day and bread and peas the next day. If you killed a cow, you had steak and gravy; a hog, pork chops. You went to church every Sunday, for that was not an option.
WHAT I LIKE THE MOST ABOUT ATLANTA - I love the weather after living in Chicago and you have the option of doing almost anything you want from sports, to the arts, dancing and the best churches. The diversity of people is great. If you can’t make it in Atlanta, you may not be trying hard enough because you can start a business and make as much money as you are willing to work or manage.
BEST ADVICE I’VE EVER BEEN GIVEN - Go to school, get a good job and pay your bills on time and yes, PUT GOD FIRST.
THE MOUNTAINS, THE BEACH OR THE LAKE? - The beach is very relaxing, and usually somewhere around there is also good seafood.
