Hi, I’m Jenni

Pastry chef and owner of 12 Cakes Paris. It’s been more than 12 years since I decided to follow my dreams of becoming a professional pastry chef, and I’ve loved every moment.

I received my formal training at The Cambridge School of Culinary Arts in Cambridge, MA under the guidance of French pastry chef Delphin Gomes. I completed the Professional Pastry Program and graduated at the top of my class.

I spent two consecutive summers in Paris, France completing pastry stages. The first was at The Cafe du Commerce in the 15th arrondisment, and the following year at the iconic pastry establishment Laduree. My love of French pastry (and a certain French man) lead me to moving permanently to Paris in 2010.

Since moving to France, I have had the opportunity to work in a verity of establishments that have helped me hone my skills and led me to where I am today. After a decade of living in France, I have been able to adapt classic American recipes to French palates, and also adapt both styles of pastry to Gluten Free.

Previous work experience also includes:

Rose Bakery, KB cafe shop, La Cuisine Paris (cooking school where I helped develop classes along with teaching), Noglu and Farfelu Paris
