Cheesecake Funk joins Foodie Finds

The owner of the one and only "Prince Approved" dessert joined KARE 11 News at Noon to share a slice of delicious cheesecake.

MINNEAPOLIS — Vanessa Drews didn't plan to sell cheesecake for a living, but then again, she never expected Prince to grab a slice and fall in love. 

"I started working for Prince selling merchandise and if you think about going to concerts, you know the merch table and all that stuff, I would put up the merch and sell it," Drews said.

And the rest is history.

Now you too can sample some of this divine dessert. Not only is it the only food available at Paisley Park, but the shop has a storefront in Minneapolis plus online ordering.
