Villa Lombardi's, in partnership with Make-A-Wish, welcomes 16-year-old Skyler into its kitchen.
Skyler dreams of becoming a pastry chef. Watch the 16-year-old for a few minutes deftly craft flawless designs atop freshly baked cupcakes, though, and it's clear we need to drop the word "dreams." Skyler is a pastry chef. "I'd hire her," said Carol Henry, a pastry chef at Holbrook's Villa Lombardi's, of Sklyer, who spent some time last week whipping up and decorating treats with Henry at the catering hall. Skyler, who has an undisclosed life-threatening medical condition, has seen her wish come true and more thanks to the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Suffolk County. The Ridge teenager was granted her official wish of becoming the sous chef to the bakers of the famous gingerbread houses at Disney World in December. But why stop there? "A …
