Meet the family behind the business and see what's on their menu.

Family recipes are pure gold, passed down through generations, and one grad student’s family recipe is pure BLISS, literally. Elizabeth Sinawe turned her family’s cannoli recipe into a business called BLISS, out of the Ann Arbor area. Her inspiration comes from things she enjoys as well as ideas from her friends and family. Speaking of family, her mother helps run the business as well, giving her stamp of approval on new flavors Elizabeth tries out. If you want to try a cannoli “like mama used to make” get their “Mama Knows Best” cannoli.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. Ann Arbor native Elizabeth Sinawe is using her mothers recipe to help Tree Town increase its cannoli consumption. Cannolis are my favorite dessert, Sinawe said stating that the BLISS business name came from the state of bliss and happiness she experiences when she has her mothers homemade cannolis. While there are some traditional flavors, Sinawe experiments with flavors based on desserts that she likes. Sinawe said that the BLISS cannoli recipe, her mothers, was used to make cannolis in the Ann Arbor Italian restaurant her parents owned around 20 years ago. Instead, Sinawe has two pick-up locations: Ann Arbor and West Bloomfield; however, she has delivered to other areas, like Detroit, Royal Oak, Dearborn, Ypsilanti and Canton.
