Meet Janel Prator, the CPO (Chief Pudding Officer) at The Puddery!
In 2006, while working at a phone company, Janel often brought homemade treats to impress her coworkers. One day, she shared a special batch of banana pudding—and the response was overwhelming! That moment, she knew she had something special.
A self-proclaimed *born-preneur* (an entrepreneur at birth), Janel turned her creamy creation into a business, and The Puddery was born. She reimagined a classic Southern dessert, using the finest ingredients, unexpected fruits, and a variety of cookies to craft a one-of-a-kind experience.
Her banana pudding quickly gained a devoted following and even earned a coveted review from world-famous food critic Keith Lee. Today, The Puddery's signature pudding can be found at their flagship store, catered at special events, and delivered straight to your door.
With big dreams on the horizon—including multiple Puddery trucks and Francises—Janel took a leap of faith, resigning from her role as a Senior Technical Manager to pursue her passion full-time. As a self-taught baker, her mission is simple: to spread pudding goodness in a cup across the world! 🍌✨🌎
