Chef Simone Brings Art Delectables’ Luxury Organic Desserts to Costco Following Success at Super Bowl 56 and the 2023 & 2024 Grammy Awards

Published on September 23, 2024

Deljah “Chef Simone” Dickson, the visionary founder and executive chef behind Art Delectables, proudly introduces Couture Treats, the premier wholesale brand by Art Delectables, to Costco.

Known for delivering luxury organic desserts crafted specifically for major retailers, Couture Treats is making its debut in select Costco locations, following the brand’s celebrated appearances at Super Bowl 56 and the 2023 & 2024 Grammy Awards.

Couture Treats by Art Delectables offers handcrafted, health-conscious desserts made with organic ingredients and 30% less sugar, without the use of sugar alcohols or dyes.

The brand’s signature Dulce De Leche Cheesecake is among the indulgent, yet guilt-free treats now available at Costco, introducing a new level of luxury to the retail giant’s customers.

“This partnership with Costco is a monumental step for Couture Treats,” said Chef Simone. “We are thrilled to bring our luxurious, organic desserts to a broader audience, and grateful to Costco for recognizing the importance of diverse, high-quality suppliers. Our goal is to prove that indulgence can be health-conscious, and this partnership is a big step in fulfilling that mission.”

Securing placement in Costco, one of the nation’s largest retailers, represents a significant achievement for Couture Treats, a Black woman-owned luxury organic dessert company.

Despite challenges, including being displaced from their original kitchen due to development projects, Art Delectables has shown resilience.

With the support of the Vermont Slauson Economic Development Corporation (VSEDC), the brand has continued to thrive and grow, expanding into mainstream retail spaces while promoting diversity and community development.

Born in Philadelphia, the fifth of seven children, Dorn stayed focused throughout his youth, eventually obtaining his degree in Criminal Justice. Dorn has worked with the Philadelphia Police Department, Department of Justice, World Wide Detective Agency, and several other high profile security groups. Throughout his successful career, Dorn wrestled with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, an aftereffect of his military service. Battling the pain and debilitating effect of PTSD, Dorn found comfort behind the camera. Photography proved to be not only therapeutic, but life changing as well. Dorn picked up his first camera in 1970 while serving in Vietnam and knew instantly that behind the lens was where he belonged. His shooting style and photographs were special, generating a buzz in the industry. In 1985, he began his career in photojournalism, working in a variety of genres. Dorn’s credentials include fashion, lifestyle photography, photojournalism, and celebrity/red carpet coverage. Working with MSNBC, Jet Magazine, and major publications in Philadelphia and around the country, Dorn has had the honor of capturing the images of hundreds of notable celebrities and politicians including President Barack Obama, George Bush Jr, Bill and Hillary Clinton, Maya Angelou, Jesse Jackson, Rihanna, Snoop Dog, Will Smith, and Tyler Perry. Photography has sent Dorn around the globe, inspiring his passion for civil activism. In 1995, Dorn assembled and led a group of forty-two men to the Million Man March. Together, they spent five days walking from Philadelphia to Washington DC. In his travels, Dorn observed a common theme amongst the youth of the world. Many of the children he encountered seemed lost. Understanding that opportunities for at-risk youth are minimal, Dorn was inspired to make a difference. Established by Dorn in 2011, InDaHouseMedia was built on the idea that there is room in the house for everyone. With InDaHouseMedia, Dorn’s mission is to provide the future generation with positive direction through sports, music, and photography.
