Stephanie Paoletti
Pastry Chef • Coastal Culinary Creative • Small-Town Hospitality Leader
Stephanie was born and raised in South Florida as the oldest of three. Through the influence of Italian family culture, and the immense food culture in South Florida, Stephanie’s palate developed quickly and cooking became a love and passion. Although Stephanie began her college career in architecture, she quickly realized that culinary was her passion, and she moved to Jacksonville, Florida to attend the Art Institute for her bachelor’s degree in culinary management. From there, she worked at four-diamond resorts in Jacksonville, and the top ranking restaurants in Fort Lauderdale. During that journey, Stephanie fell in love with the pastry side of cooking and worked towards starting her own pastry company. Working side by side with her husband Michael, they have found their balance in both sweet and savory, and now reside in Ocean Springs.
