I am a French artisan and self-trained baker. Growing up in France I always loved the luring smell, flavor and texture of an authentic and delicious croissant! Flaky on the outside, tender on the inside with a mouthwatering, buttery finish. Can you picture sinking your teeth into such perfection? When working in the kitchen and shaping dough for these creations I feel such serenity! This sense of belonging is likely a feeling of heritage and tradition that I get from my family. I recently discovered that I have two generations of artisan bakers in my family lineage that were from Ischia, Italy! Twist of fate?

After graduating with a double master degree in accountancy and organizational management, I have enjoyed 15 years of a successful career. I spent time with audit firms and Technology Companies as well as held an Executive Director position for a Senior Care Federation. After all these years working in what is often referred as a ‘respectable industry,’ I was then ready to chase my true passion and fulfill my life using my full potential to build my own business.

When I moved to United States four years ago, I knew it was the right moment and country to embrace change and push my boundaries when it comes to new adventures. Bring the French Boulangerie to ‘chez vous’, your home, with authentic creations warm from the oven! So was born, Le Petit Four, the Little Oven.

I am extremely excited to share these french viennoiseries and breads with you all. Each creation combines flavor with texture and elegance. It is my hope and goal to inspire and touch every person through my products, my passion as well as my culture.
