I’m the founder and heart behind La Petite Gourmandise-a proud mom of two energetic boys,a baker by passion,and a woman who believes in turning love into action.Originally from Gabon now living in the United States after marrying my husband from switzerland,I discovered baking as a way to care for my family when we first moved here.What began as a homemade European and French-style pastries shared on a Facebook page grew into a community of fellow food lovers and parents who appreciate thoughtful,joyful moments.

Collierville was where i first took La Petite Gourmandise beyong the kitchen and into my neighborhood.After my second son was born,life paused:my husband was diagnosed with leukemia a month later.That challenge changed everything-it taught me how fragile and precious life is,and how powerful the simple acts of sharing,baking,and standing together can be.Out of that struggle came a clearer purpose:to build something that nourishes bodies,lifts spirits,and supports families facing cancer through our Let’s Walk Together initiative.

Now,stronger than ever,i’m expanding La PetiteGourmandise with curated Knaki Essentials lunchboxes,baking tools,online classes,and a space for connection and solidarity.I’m inviting you to join this journey-to bake with us,and walk beside those who need us most.Together we turn small into meaningful change.
