Rêve Patisserie is not just a bakery; it's a dream come true nurtured by passion, family, and a lifetime of sweet memories. I'm Julie Hutton, the baker behind Rêve Patisserie, and I'm thrilled to share my journey with you.

Growing up in Bordeaux, France, baking wasn't just a hobby for me—it was a way of life. I fondly remember spending countless hours in the kitchen with my mom, creating cakes and meringues for my girl-scout troop or our next family get together, that filled our home with irresistible aromas. Dessert was never just an afterthought; it was a celebration of life's sweet moments. I may have even indulged in cookies for breakfast more often than I should admit!

While my love for baking never waned, it wasn't until later in life that I turned my passion into a profession. During my husband's medical residency in Columbia, MO, I took a leap of faith and launched my first bakery business, Frenchy Treats. It was a labor of love, with my husband's colleagues eagerly becoming my first taste-testers and loyal customers. Their feedback and encouragement fueled my determination to pursue my baking dreams until circumstances changed. Unfortunately, when residency ended and we moved, I had to make the difficult decision to close the business.

Life eventually led us back to Santa Barbara, where my husband and I had first met. As our family grew, so did my desire to create delectable treats once again. Now, with Rêve Patisserie, I'm embarking on a new chapter of this delicious adventure right here in Santa Barbara. I can't wait to connect with fellow enthusiasts of French treats and share the joy of indulging in decadent desserts that bring people together.

Join me on this sweet journey, where every bite is a reminder of the love, passion, and dedication that goes into each creation.
