Most ghost experiences take place on the street. This one takes place at the table. Every dessert is chosen to match a story. The flavors and the tales build together, one course at a time. You do not just hear about Charleston's dark past. You taste it. The setting adds to the mood. You sit in a private room in a building with centuries of history. The stories are told close to the places where they happened. Your host is a skilled storyteller, not a reader of scripts. The tales are researched and told with humor, drama, and care for the facts. The result is an evening that is spooky, elegant, and fun. This experience suits history lovers, dessert fans, and anyone who enjoys a good scare in a comfortable setting.
Alcoholic beverages
1st beverage included (from a selection of alcoholic and nonalcoholic options). Additional beverages available for purchase.

Great history of Charleston with a ghostly addition

We were a group of 8 mother and teen daughters. We had a fabulous time. The girls commented that they wish all their history lessons could this entertaining. The local desserts were all delicious. Kyle and Jeremiah were very fun.

What a fantastic group to host—thank you for joining us! We’re so glad Dessert with Death struck the perfect balance of spooky storytelling and Charleston history (with a little sugar on top). Kyle and Jeremy will be thrilled to hear your daughters wished all their history lessons were this much fun—that’s the ultimate compliment! We’d love to host you all again anytime.
