ALTHEA’s Tropical Delights LLC

More than thirty years ago, Althea Georgiana Casimir-Magloire made her journey from the lush Caribbean Island of Dominica, known as the “Nature Isle of the Caribbean” to New York City. Today, she proudly stands as the CEO and Founder of Althea’s Tropical Delights LLC, a company that blends her Caribbean heritage, financial expertise, and entrepreneurial spirit into something truly sweet.

Althea’s path to business ownership began with her background in accounting and entrepreneurship, but it was her love of baking that sparked her vision to create a line of tropical-inspired desserts. Each cake is crafted from scratch using all-natural ingredients and wholesome tropical fruits, producing a perfect fusion of flavor that instantly transports you to the Caribbean. Her product line includes both alcoholic and non-alcoholic varieties, as well as gluten-free and sugar-free options, ensuring that everyone can indulge in the experience.

The inspiration for launching her business came from a deeply personal place. In September 2017, Althea’s beloved home island of Dominica was devastated by Hurricane Maria. In the aftermath, she organized fundraisers to support recovery efforts and soon realized her passion for baking could serve a greater purpose, helping her community. That experience transformed into her mission: to use her culinary talents as a platform for empowerment, connection, and giving back.

Beyond the kitchen, Althea continues to make an impact. She proudly serves on the Board of Directors of Birch Family Services, a New York–based nonprofit that empowers individuals with autism and developmental disabilities to live fulfilling lives. Through this role and her community collaborations, she is proving that entrepreneurship can be both purpose-driven and profitable.
