Who is Gayle?

Born and raised in the Tacoma-Gig Harbor area, Gayle has always had an intense interest in beautiful and delicious food. Self taught, Gayle’s experience in the field of the culinary arts has created a solid reputation of excellence.  She began her career with a vision and untiring determination.  With a fierce passion for quality and an uncompromising view of customer service, Gayle has built her business into one of which she is extremely proud.  Gayle and David, married nearly 30 years, are the parents of two grown daugthers and doting grandparents to three beautiful granddaughters and a handsome grandson.

Who is David?

David Orth.  Where would Gayle Orth Catering be without him?  A commercial real estate broker for more than twenty years, David was always the support behind the scenes for Gayle.  Several years ago, David, after much deliberation, decided that he would join the catering company full time and retire his broker’s license.  His financial background and business experience have been invaluable to the success of Gayle Orth Catering.  David and Gayle very much enjoy working together as a team, not only professionally, but personally as well.  They love nothing more than to end their hectic days, at home in the kitchen, preparing a meal and relaxing.

Born and raised in Minnesota. Andrea came from an Italian family who came to America from Giousa Ionica, Italy in the 1920's. Her family made a name for themselves by being one of the first in America to manufacture frozen pizza and then became a part of running one of the largest food distributors in America, Pillsbury. She grew up around food and has embraced it's ability to bring people together and a means to express herself creatively. She has made it a point to work in the finest, most high end companies in order to improve her skills.
She attended North Seattle Community College in the early 90's and studied culinary arts. Although she completed a 6 month certification program at that time, It took her a few years to actually find her calling in the pastry world.
