Un hommage d’une petite-fille

The Story of Mamie Colette

When my Mamie (grandma in French) Colette left the French Caribbean island of Guadeloupe with her 6 young children to relocate to Chartres, France, she had no idea what life would bring them. She wanted to give them a better life, so she packed their tropical weather clothes and hopped on a boat for a three-week long journey. In France, they found snow, and Mamie Colette walked everywhere in her sandals to find work in order to feed and clothe her children. She built a living home where she taught her children the values of hard work, perseverance and kindness. She encouraged all my life choices, she helped me learn from my mistakes, but perhaps the best gift she gave me was teaching me how to bake.

Mamie Colette planted the seed for my passion for baking good foods that make my corner of the world a little bit happier. This bakery is lovingly dedicated to my Mamie Colette.
