About Us...
We have all heard the phrase "When life gives you lemons, make lemon curd!" I took this pithy advice (and changed it just a smidge) to heart when I discovered I was gluten intolerant while attending the Professional Pastry Arts program at L'Academie de Cuisine.
Like most people who discover they are gluten intolerant, my first thoughts were for all the pastry treats I would no longer be able to eat. This was doubly difficult while attending culinary school and preparing delectable French Pastries day in and day out. After a day or two of self pity, I became determined to convert the French Pastries I made at school into gluten free versions.
I have spent years researching, baking, tasting, and refining my recipes to come up with fantastic gluten free French Pastries. My dream upon entering culinary school was to open a French Bakery. I am delighted therefore, to be the owner of The Happy Tart, a gluten free patisserie.
