From the stage to the kitchen, Daniela Malavé has turned a health scare into a celebration of art, culture, and community. In this episode of Beyond the Pages, we sit down with the founder of Tres Fiori — a celiac-safe, gluten-free dessert studio based in Fishtown — to talk about how a severe gluten intolerance diagnosis reshaped her relationship with food, and how her Italian-Venezuelan heritage, her years as a dancer and actress, and her devotion to floral artistry all collide in every hand-piped cupcake she creates.
We dig into the story behind the name Tres Fiori, the three generations of women who inspired it, and why she bakes out of a home studio rather than a commercial kitchen — a decision rooted in medical necessity, not preference. Daniela also shares what’s next for Tres Fiori in 2026, including her new Bloom de Flor Shortbread Collection inspired by her Venezuelan upbringing and the ritual of cafecito.
This conversation is a reminder that the most personal businesses are often born from the most personal struggles — and that creativity, once you find it, doesn’t stay in one lane. 🔗 Read the original feature from The Hook: https://lifestyles.media/2026/02/05/a… 🍰 Learn more about Tres Fiori on Instagram Tres Fiori
