Marsha’s Specialty Desserts & Tierney’s Catering has been serving Hoosiers sweet treats for more than 30 years.
Owned and operated by Marsha Quarles and her family, Masha’s Specialty Desserts first opened its storefront in October 2010. Since then, the family has prided itself on being a one-stop shop for all catering needs — from plated meals for weddings, box lunches for orientations, tiered cakes, and assorted dessert bars, according to the website.
Everything, from sweet to savory and in between, is prepared fresh every day, and all items are available for customization for special occasions, including baby showers, anniversaries, weddings and graduations.
