Daniel J. Wilson
Founder • Father • Dream Builder
I’m Daniel J. Wilson, the founder of 32 Degrees Below FLA, Florida’s first shaved snow dessert shop. But before this ever became a business, it was something far more personal. It was about family. It was about my daughter. And it was about a dream that quietly changed both of our lives. For more than 25 years, I’ve worked in business, community service, and helping families find stability. Along the way, I kept hearing the same thing from parents, kids, and health-conscious adults: “I wish there was a dessert we could all enjoy without guilt or worry.” Too much sugar, dairy, allergens, and too many people left out. But the true spark came from my daughter, Maya. When Maya was young, she was completely captivated by Cake Boss. Not just watching imagining. By the age of eight, she was creating her own bakery menus, naming desserts, sketching designs, and dreaming out loud about becoming a cake baker one day. She believed in that dream with her whole heart and as her father, I believed in her. I wanted to build something with her. Something that honored her creativity, while also reflecting what today’s families truly need. That’s when shaved snow entered our lives at exactly the right moment. It looked like cake. It had the layers, the color, the artistry Maya loved. But it was lighter. Healthier. Gluten-free. Inclusive. So instead of opening a traditional cake shop, we created something entirely new. 32 Degrees Below FLA became a place where families don’t have to choose between fun and health. Where kids with allergies can enjoy dessert safely. Where adults can indulge without guilt. And where no one ever feels left out. This brand is more than a business. It’s my daughter’s dream reimagined.
It’s a promise to our community. And it’s a reminder that dessert should always bring people together.
"It’s never about the destination. It’s about who you’re with that turns a trip into a moment.”
Daniel J. Wilson, Founder
