About us

The mother/daughter team of Vicki and Natasha Goellner, opened their first patisserie in Kansas City, Missouri in 2005 and moved across the state line to charming Mission Farms, Leawood, Kansas in November 2008. Executive Chef Natasha Goellner received her Grand Diploma in Pastry Arts, from the French Culinary Institute (2004), in SoHo, New York City, and she currently serves as an ambassador for the FCI. With her background in fine art, and her training in New York, every cake and pastry is a masterpiece of culinary art. Her travels to Europe and appreciation of beautiful gardens, fashion, and European pastry shops inspires her to create one-of-a-kind delicacies. Natasha has been written about in numerous magazines including KC Magazines "One of the thirteen people to watch in Kansas City." She has also been on TV and radio, and was one of the artists featured in KCPT's 5-part television series, Uniquely Kansas City.


Our staff

Alongside Natasha and Vicki in the pastry kitchen is Clare Lapping, another FCI alum, whose french Oh Ho's, marzipan figures, and Alice's "Eat Me" cookies have become customer favorites. Nicholas Goellner, a graduate of the FCI with a culinary degree has joined his mother and sister in the family business. Nicholas is on hiatus from the restaurant scene in New York, through the holidays to spend time with his family. There may be a brother/sister restaurant in the future here in Kansas City. These three chefs prepare desserts daily and the menu is seasonal, so it changes all the time and at the whim of the chefs.
