Glenside resident MaryEllen Salamone recently opened her shop Made by Me at Chestnut Hill’s Fareway Market, where she sells her homemade chocolates, writes Stacia Friedman for the Chestnut Hill Local.

Salamone, who graduated from Cheltenham High School, attended The Culinary Institute of America’s Baking and Pastry Program. She followed that up with 13 years of working with top pastry chefs and chocolatiers in Las Vegas and Fort Meyers.

Her love for baking and sweets comes from growing up in a family of passionate bakers who introduced her to the pleasures of dessert-making.

“Growing up in an Italian/Irish family, there was no shortage of food and laughs,” said Salamone.

After years away from home, Salamone decided that she had missed enough important events and other smaller things. She also wanted to create an outlet where she could showcase her passion for making chocolates and other sugary delights like caramel.

“Coming home is one of the greatest career and personal moves I have ever made,” she said.
