Cathy Schauber of Cathy’s Biscotti

Cathy Schauber, owner of Cathy’s Biscotti, in White Plains, NY has been baking her award-winning biscotti in Westchester for more than 10 years.

Wanting to celebrate her Italian heritage, Cathy began creating biscotti recipes. Her life long passion for baking and the support of her family, inspired Cathy to launch Cathy’s Biscotti in 2006. With each recipe, a sweet indulgent treat was born.

The marriage of old-world tradition with indulgent flavor and texture is what makes Cathy’s Biscotti uniquely different. All of the biscotti are baked in small batches using only quality ingredients. They are hand-rolled and hand-cut to produce a truly artisanal biscotti that not only melt in your mouth, but also provide the crunch that you love in a traditional biscotti.

Cathy’s Biscotti is committed to supporting local charities – from The Woman’s Club of White Plains to Arc of Westchester and PEACE OUTside Campus Foundation.

Cathy’s Biscotti has been featured locally in Westchester Magazine, 914 Inc., The Journal News, and News Channel 12. They are also a Best of Westchester Winner for Best Biscotti.?Cathy was raised in Waterbury, CT. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in English from Marymount College. She and her husband, Paul, live in White Plains where they raised four beautiful daughters.

Cathy’s words of wisdom:

“I want to be a part of the event [YWCA’s Turn Up the Heat Fundraiser] because of the opportunity to share my experiences both as a woman business owner and as the mother of four daughters. It’s so important that girls today have a female role model to realize that success is within themselves. I have acted as a mentor over the years to high school girls and have loved seeing the excitement when they begin to believe in themselves and their dreams. The YWCA offers girls and women the opportunity to gain confidence and grow their dreams.

“I think that the ‘secret’ to my success is loving what I do and having the confidence in myself and our products to approach new people every day.”

“What I love most about being a chef is sharing our sweets with people and seeing the happiness that it brings to them. Food, and particularly sweets, make people smile!”
