As an engineer, Duilio Gonzalez-Abreu is used to analyzing, solving problems, designing and building.
He incorporates those skills and displays them every day in his new gig as owner of Jiggly Tasty in Cape Coral.
The modern and trendy Japanese cheesecake shop, a first in the area, opened Oct. 6 in the Publix-anchored plaza on the southwest corner of Santa Barbara Boulevard and Hancock Bridge Parkway.
“He’s always had an idea of doing something like this,” his daughter Jasmine Rothausen said. “He wanted to do it and now he’s pulled it off. I don’t know anyone who makes (Japanese cheesecake) better than him.”
What is Japanese cheesecake?
If you’re not familiar with the social-media trendy dessert, no worries. Duilio’s family — wife Diana and daughters Jasmine and Glenys — help run the store and are happy to explain.
“It’s not like regular cheesecake,” Jasmine said. “It’s hard to describe. You have to try it. It’s like a cloud – a very fluffy, melt-in-your-mouth bite of heaven.”
