Miette Patisserie: It's Ohhh Sooo Sweet!

Happy Monday Everybody! Let me introduce you to Meg Ray, the founder and owner of Miette. Her story really put a SMILE on my face. Her love for baking began when she was really young. She had a severe visual impairment as a child that required glasses. Upon receiving her new glasses, her mom took her to a bakery where she fell in love with the confectionery creations and the craft. She's been baking ever since.

Miette was founded in 2001. It is a cake and patisserie shop that believes in minimal decoration, petite pastries, and the use of local & organic products whenever possible.

What sweet goodies can you find in Miette? It's a delightful list! She sells cakes, cupcakes, cookies, tarts, dessert ware, old-fashioned candy, confections from around the world and treats made by local artisans.

Another thing that impressed me about Meg (besides being an owner of a business - you know I love to support women who own their own businesses), was her involvement in various charities. She donates desserts to local shelters, charities and schools. They also send leftover products to women and children shelters.

Her philosophy is cake = happiness! I truly believe her delightful creations, talent and beautiful heart brings happiness to many. That's why I wanted to feature her on the blog today.

Below are some of her delightful creations and look for a giveaway below.

Where can you find her delightful creations? 

If you live in California, you are so lucky! She has several shops in San Francisco, Oakland and Larkspur California. But guess what? Even if you don't live in California, you can still taste some of her cookie creations. She ships! So give her a try!

I just want to mention ONE more thing! When I watched her video below, there was something that caught my eye. Towards the end of the video, she wears a celery green sweater! I was like WOW, that looks familiar! You guys, I had the SAME sweater. I went through my photos on Facebook and found out that I wore it like two years ago while attending Cinco de Mayo. I wore that sweater until I couldn't wear it anymore. HaHaHa (note: that was my hair before my hair catastrophe. lol)  I purchased it from Target! HaHaHa See it goes to show you no matter how much money you have, you can mix low and high priced items. Even our haircuts look the same! I'm getting goosebumps! Is this a sign for me to sign up for patisserie school? HaHaHa
